cbfb Posted March 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2015 We are thinking of booking the Silhouette next year. We usually book Concierge but it is much more than the Veranda rooms on this cruise. I would love some info from anyone who has stayed in the Veranda cabins, any level. I think I read there are some with larger balconies? Any info is appreciated.

I think I read there are some with larger balconies? Any info is appreciated. The larger balconies are the 1A's...many of them of quite a bit deeper in size than a regular balcony. Those larger ones are mid ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaBag Posted March 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Just had #7260 (1A). it is right by the hideaway, a lovely little place where people read in quietness and there is a coffee machine there. This cabin was close to everything. We would definitely book it again. the balcony is very big. Edited March 16, 2015 by TeaBag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted March 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I am a huge fan of the standard balcony midship locations. I really don't think the CC perks are worth much at all, and since the cabins are identical we are very happy with saving the money. Converts!

fgc15527 Posted March 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Just sailed recently in cabin 7241. It has an oversized balcony since it is on the hump. It is in a very convenient location next to the Hideaway and the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbfb Posted March 16, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thank you for all the replies. I really can't justify booking Concierge for a $400/per person difference in price! I figured if there are bigger balconies available I might as well go for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmacmissy Posted March 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Last year we had a 1A balcony booked, because I always like to find the BEST balcony cabin possible. It was $1,200/pp. Then a balcony guarantee became available for $799/pp and there was no way I could turn down that savings. We wound up in a cabin 6159, a lowly 2C. And we wound up loving it! It was really nice being close to deck 5, and surprisingly, we liked being closer to the water! It was considered 'partially obstructed' which meant you could see the lifeboat when you looked down, but your view out was clear. We really enjoyed this cabin- when normally we book bigger balconies higher up! So don't overlook the cheapos! (Many photos of this cabin in the review in my signature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted March 16, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2015 There are also some unobstructed deck 6 balconies. We're trying one on the hump this year and I'm looking forward to being on 6, I think it's 6218. Can't beat the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted March 16, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Category 2D- lifeboats to top of veranda rail but larger, angled balconies: Portside #6209 & #6207 Starboard #6210 & #6208 Category 2C- lifeboat to veranda deck level, but larger, angled balconies: Portside #s 6155, 6157, 6241, 6243 Starboard #s 6156, 6158, 6240, 6242 The last 5 or 6 2C cabins on Deck 6 both sides also have slightly larger verandas with a slight protrusion from the restaurants on deck 5 that limits direct downward view to the sea, but no lifeboats below. We are in 2C #6240 for our Solstice sailing. For our Eclipse sailing, regular size veranda 2B #6222. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted March 17, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2015 We booked two 1B's last year on the hump and LOVED them! Going again on April 5 and are in the same cabins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted March 17, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2015 We had a C2 deck 9 in 2013, and a 1A deck 8 last year, both identical 194 sq ft rooms, on the angle of the hump, with the deep balcony. The 'stuff' associated with the C2 was worthless for the cost. Only benefit was the extra CC point's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
