mafig Posted July 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Never been on one of the slant balconies. However, if we are able to upgrade from 1B to 1A we might try it this time. Can you tell me which 1A balconies are most desirable? I'm thinking we probably would prefer facing toward the aft because of wind issues. I know there's a sticky up top, but it has gotten very large, and Reflection is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheals Posted July 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2017 We have sailed 6 times on Eclipse and each time we were in the same cabin - 9292. It is the perfect hump cabin but don't tell too many people!! Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimarie40 Posted July 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2017 We had 9211 and loved it. We love being able to look forward and out. Nice large balcony, we never noticed wind to be a problem. We have 8228 on our next sailing. Love sailing in 1A's. As far as the sticky goes there is an easy way to look at the cabins you want. Open up to the first page of the sticky, up on the top right is a Search Forum box. Pop in the cabin number you wish to read about and voila... up comes all the comments on that particular cab in. No need to scroll threw hundreds of entries looking for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted July 29, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I was staying away from the Sticky because Reflection is slightly different. Isn't it? First time considering a 1A. Our last couple of X cruises, we've been in Aqua or Concierge. My dh is one of the few, I know, who did not like Blu. He missed corned beef hash, hash browns for breakfast, and they put "stuff" on his lobster .... lol. Also, I just don't get having a large balcony and no footstool. We also needed the points that Concierge and Aqua provided. Now we don't need them anymore, so I thought I'd see what I've been missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted July 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2017 We have our first 1A slant booked for the first time in a few weeks. Took the advice of a poster here that said the 1st off the hump is the largest. Looked in up on the "sticky" and there were pics of the cabin we chose. Cannot believe the size of the balcony compared to all the other 1A's. :):):) Happy, happy, happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Les43 Posted July 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Just off Reflection - we had 2107 which is the first 1A hump cabin after the Canyon Ranch Spa. It was very quiet as most spa traffic is during the day and even then it doesn't tend to affect the corridors. This one is under the Aqua Spa cafe but we heard nothing. The balcony is huge too. It is shaded as under the overhang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Ron Posted July 29, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Another vote for 9292. We had that cabin last November and it was excellent, very large balcony and great location overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like bed by the bath, then I would look at 9237 on the Port side. Staterooms 1605 and 2107 mentioned above are not 1A - they are A1 Aqua Class cabins.

Arubamoose Posted July 30, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2017 9292 is my FAVORITE cabin!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin lady ca Posted July 30, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 30, 2017 We were in 8230 on Equinox this spring and will be in the same cabin on reflection next February. Excellent location close to the main bank of elevators. Easy walking up or down to other decks, if you prefer. Very large balcony. Would definitely book again and again.
