Forward suites on Sapphire Princess

[Ehg]

We are considering Sapphire Princess for a cruise next year. Has anyone got any information on the forward suites? They look a very good size but I was specifically wondering about having a forward balcony - how big is it and how much use can one make of it when the ship is sailing - is it too windy?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance. [emoji4]

I have a forward suite booked on the Pacific. It was the only suite available. The only drawback that I know of is that the balcony is unusable while under way. This doesn't bother me because I rarely use the balcony, only when arriving into port.

Hello, I was in 2bedroom family suite on Emerald July 9th to Alaska. Suite is located all the way forward on right and left side of ship. Balcony was unusable at sea. Our room steward had to tie the balcony furniture down. We had dining table, two chairs and two loungers. All would blow from one side of balcony to the other. While in port everything was fine. I would only book a forward suite again if I needed the two bedroom family suite. There are only two per ship so choices are limited

Thank you. That's what I was afraid people would say. I do love the balcony so I think we will have to avoid these cabins.

Yes wind is a huge issue.

Hi. we are considering a FS for Alaska as well as we are a family of 5. I do understand the Balcony is unusable at sea but what about as you sail past the Hubbard Glacier and sailing through the Glacier National Bay Park? Does the ship sail slow enough so the wind on the balcony isnt too bad?

 

Thanks
