Victoria '82 Posted April 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Have just booked an aft suite on Britannia for next year on D deck and wondered if anyone can advise me of the size of the balcony. I know it wraps around to the side of the ship so the side part will be the same as a normal cabin balcony, but wondered if the stern part of the balcony and the corner part was much wider! I have tried to gauge it from the deck plans and available pics but without much success. Any pics of D deck suite balconies would also be welcome. Many thanks folks.

Many thanks folks.[/quote'] I have an aft suite booked on Britannia sailing on 23rd May {C736} & have got D748 booked for 2016; like you I'm interested to know the size of the balcony. I'm on Britannia on Saturday for a ship visit so I'm hoping, with the aid of my zoom lens (depending on which way the Captain decides to park :)) to get some pictures of the aft cabins, which I will duly share on here.

cruiseluvva Posted April 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Joan - first of all enjoy your visit. But would you see if your zoom takes in the portside corner aft suite on F deck too please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Gill, No problem, will do, as that's the same side as my suite :) My intention is to try and get lots of pictures of the aft of Britannia, depending on which way she's docked. I was thinking about you & staying at the Grand Harbour last night. Are you the very kind lady who popped to reception & investigated the balcony rooms for me in back in 2009?

Joan I don't think so - though I have had a few of those balcony rooms at the Grand Harbour. Not this time though, just a bog standard room as prices were ridiculous.

cruisefan2012 Posted April 29, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Big Foot If you are can, dont worry if you cant, could you take some pics of the Single Inside cabins - ideally L203 on the Lido Deck please, room and bathroom - Thank you in advance x Cruisefan2012 Edited April 29, 2015 by cruisefan2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gymbod Posted April 29, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Oh I'm so pleased to read this, I've got aft suite D739 booked and really want to some feedback on the size of balcony. From deck plans the balcony looks narrower than some of the other decks but I checked out out what I thought was the equivalent on Royal Princess and from photos it looks quite large (if I'm correct it's Baja deck on Royal?) Eagerly awaiting your pics :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding (& hope) is that we will get to see a selection of cabins so fingers crossed we may get to see a single cabin, however, it could be an inside or outside or not at all :( However, I will make a note of the cabin number & you never know. I will report back in due course. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will endeavour to report back (with photos) over the weekend. I'm off to see if I can find the pictures of Baja Deck on RP for comparison.

freddie1974 Posted April 29, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We are in A726 & A727 on 16 May so will post lots of pics when back. You can see the aft balcony on B deck (which should be very similar) here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted April 30, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hmm, very nice, though smaller than suites we have had in the past and the balcony is very shallow. Still very comfortable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria '82 Posted April 30, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Looking forward to your pics Joan. We were alongside the Royal P in Barbados earlier this year and her decks have some different configurations i.e. midships she has a 'bulge' from A to G deck which provides about 10 cabins on each deck a much bigger balcony. Also from what I could see, the stern suites on seemed to be larger. As I said, look forward to the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
