daveispar Posted December 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2016 My Wife and just signed up for the 10 night, June 2nd Cruise from Southampton to Copenhagen on the Marina. We have booked room 7008 on Deck 7. My TA says the balcony is 118 sq ft, as opposed to the normal 42 sq ft. Has anbody stayed in one of these big balcony rooms recently ? Did you like them ? Any advantages or disadvantages ? Does anybody have any pictures ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo is of the opposite side of the Marina, but it gives a good perspective of what those forward extended verandas look like. If you follow the blue line on the hull to it's leftmost end, you will see the veranda of 7009, which is the mirror image of 7008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted December 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The + is the large size balcony. The balcony comes with normal furniture, two chairs and a table. You can request a lounge chair and it may or may not be granted depending on how crowded the ship is. The negatives -- cabin is darker than a normal cabin as less light gets in because of the depth and the partitions (you can see from Stan and Jim photo). Also the hallway can be a bit noisy as there is lots of crew traffic in the morning as there are access doors at the end of the hall. In all still a plus.

jo-b Posted December 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2016 We were on Riviera earlier this year in 7127 and all the larger balconies had lounge chairs already. We never noticed any noise from traffic from the staff areas https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5827/30879217695_beee2e34a3.jpg' alt='30879217695_beee2e34a3.jpg'>Cabin 7127 Riviera by jo.bloor, on Flickr[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
