jproll67 Posted February 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I will be traveling on Harmony in June and reserved a balcony overlooking the boardwalk. We will be in a cabin on the 11th deck. Can anyone advise on a similar experience in a cabin overlooking the boardwalk from this area? I thought it might be neat to look out and enjoy the sights and sounds on the boardwalk from my balcony.

Try to get as far aft as possible so you can have a view of the Aqua Theater as well as the ocean out and beyond. On the Oasis the views were excellent. With the slides on Harmony you may lose some visibility. We will find out in April as we are in 11325 which is the second boardwalk balcony in from the end. We sailed the Harmony TA last October but has an outside balcony on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jproll67 Posted February 18, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 18, 2017 We will be in 11713. I believe it is somewhat in the middle. I do hope we will be able to at least see the ocean if not the Aqua Theater from our balcony. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2017 We're anxious to see the view as well in a few weeks. I booked the last 4 Boardwalk cabins on deck #9 long before the Abyss was announced and was somewhat disappointed when I heard of the possible obstructed views. Oh well I got a great price on these cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted February 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2017 View obstructed by the slides and notice from people screaming as they go down the side and exit the slide. I would not book BW again on this ship whereas my BW experience on Oasis was superb. Shame they had to ruin it. I wonder if Symphony will have the eyesore slides? JMHO.

crosby99 Posted February 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2017 We where in 9327..the view was very obstructed but you could sort of look around and see the aquatheater. The Abyss looks horrendous and ruins the whole Boardwalk. Despite this I actually liked the cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi jproll. Click on my Harmony review link below in my signature. I have photos and cabin review there from deck 10. It is a neat room for the sites and sounds, and the Eat Drink Play perk is not bad as a freebie. However I did experience a noise issue and I don't think I would ever book a boardwalk cabin again on Harmony unless it's the very last act cabin like I had... Even the second cabin behind me would have an obstructive view of some sort. I would only book deck 10 or 11 cause the other decks seem very close to the slide as it winds it's way around... My cabin was the farthest and therefore allowed for the most open space to see the full Aqua theatre and out to the ocean imo. Lots of pics in my review to Explain all the above 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jproll67 Posted February 20, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks for the responses. If our view is obstructed looking out towards the rear of the ship, we will most certainly enjoy the sights and sounds of what's going on down on the boardwalk.

Beachammo Posted February 20, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Harmony 12329 boardwalk balcony.... Didn't care for the noise, view, and poor privacy. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted February 20, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I just returned from Harmony where we did a cabin crawl that incuded room 11329. I have included my pics below. The RC website now lists these rooms as "obstructed view". Deck 8 - room 8729 There is a review on line where I found these pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jproll67 Posted February 22, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Now I'm wondering if I should try to change to an ocean balcony or even Central Park balcony. I have been on about five cruises on a few different cruise lines and have always just had an oceanview. This would be my first balcony. Hmmm...

I'd go with the Ocean View Balcony because there are few enough places on the ship to see outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.....please don't make the same mistake we made! Thought we would give the Boardwalk a try since they are only available on Oasis class.....
