djyellowsub Posted November 23, 2016 #76 Share Posted November 23, 2016 My favorite thing to do on the balcony is to listen to the sound track from "Chariots of Fire". Such inspirational music to take in the magnificence of the ocean. Of course having coffee, a glass of wine, or a snack ranks up there too.

tatt2ed Posted November 23, 2016 #77 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I want to repel down the side of the ship onto the balcony. Or zipline from one ship to another while at port. Mission impossible style ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnamom1105 Posted November 23, 2016 #78 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Taking a nap on the balcony. I considered taking our mattress out one night to sleep on balcony... Sent from my SM-N910P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggyofwv Posted November 24, 2016 #80 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Sitting back and listening to the waves hitting against the ship.. Eating breakfast while enjoying the scenery.. Watching the stars at night.. Sipping on a Lava Flow.. Watching runners as we are leaving ports. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sellwingri Posted November 25, 2016 #86 Share Posted November 25, 2016 We love sail away. We also love to be facing the port so we can watch the activity. Near sail away time from the port, we love yelling at those who ignored the messages of when you need to be back on the ship, telling them we're leaving without them. Watching them run is hysterical. We're one of many that do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 25, 2016 #87 Share Posted November 25, 2016 It's a good place to enjoy a cigar and listen to some tasty tunes, and always remember to leave the light on all night. LOL...trouble maker as usual. :p :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 25, 2016 #88 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) 1. Bubbly on the balcony at sail away (a tradition for us). 2. Great railing space without someone's elbow in your side during views of the glacier on Alaska trips. 3. Getting away from the noise and crowds on deck (with no chair hogs to worry about ;)). 4. Watching the DH walk out there at night to see the full moon (I get to see two of them ;) :p). Edited November 25, 2016 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLOTR Posted November 25, 2016 #89 Share Posted November 25, 2016 My family likes to get 4 balconies in a row and have the dividers opened. It is a great way to socialize without having to knock on the individual doors to find everyone and see if they want to hang out. This will be our first time on Royal so I am hoping we will be able to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrizer7773 Posted November 25, 2016 #90 Share Posted November 25, 2016 No, I absolutely put our mattress on the balcony. It is a fantastic way to relax with the waves. Golden Rule... Pictures or it didn't happen! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some classes gave dividers that can be opened with captains permission (almost always granted) while others have solid walls that physically cannot be.

sg1phileshipper Posted November 25, 2016 #92 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Watching for runners if the shipis docked on your side, listening to the waves crashing and playing cards. That was fun :) Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 7 port-side. Oasis class balcony dividers can open. Quantum and Freedom class also. Voyager class depends on the ship, Explorer has solid steel walls as the balconies are built inside the hull. Not sure about other classes. Also, aft balconies can differ even on ships where side facing can open.

Watching the DH walk out there at night to see the full moon (I get to see two of them ;) :p). I agree. It is nice walking out there and knowing there will be an empty chair to use without having to do a search. And though I often enjoy the people and "stuff" going on up on deck sometimes I do really appreciate the quiet of the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetlove13 Posted November 25, 2016 #100 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I love having breakfast on the balcony at least one morning of the cruise. It makes me feel so special, like I'm wealthy or royalty or something! [emoji1357] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
