Angled Balconies on Breakaway

[SANDPEBBLES]

How can you tell which balconies are angled on the Breakaway?  I understand angled balconies are a little larger than regular balconies.  Thank you.

Look at the deck plans. You can see the angled ones on there. As an example, room 13236 has an angled balcony. You can see the diagonal line on the deck plan.

Oh, thank you so much.  I appreciate that.

The DD and I are looking forward to our spa angled balcony on the Getaway. There is a photo somewhere on these boards and I am guessing it will be similar in look to the one we have on the Getaway,

An observation: forward facing angled balconies tend to be windy when underway.

We are port so no wind blowing my adult beverage off of the balcony. 🙂

I was actually worried about this on my Escape sailing in October as we were in a forward facing angled balcony on the starboard side (13870), but it wasn't an issue at all. Even when we were really booking to get to Bermuda a day early due to a medical emergency, the wind wasn't a problem. I wonder if it was because we were so far aft?

Forward or aft. Wouldn't port side forward be just as windy as starboard side forward? What discourages us from the angled balcony is that everyone has a good view of it.

I guess I am thinking that a forward facing cabin would be facing forward. We have booked those before and sometimes it was "really windy". True the cabins are booked with a mind to the direction of the ship. Our cabin though angled appears to have the balcony facing the port side of the ship and blocked by the handy white balcony division. We have a long way before our sailing but I sure will try and find this thread and let you know about the wind factor. I found this picture on google of the angle balconies on the Getaway. https://www.google.com/search?q=image+ncl+getaway+14750&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Iu7mr2qmnTky3M%3A%2CshbXl-WuCymKBM%2C_&usg=AI4_-kSrNUpQ-uf29eJl-6K4yhkK9cenDQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOsdCm1NzeAhWbFjQIHZWoAowQ9QEwD3oECAAQBg#imgrc=Iu7mr2qmnTky3M:

Sorry, I wish I could find the picture from CC.

I believe that you mean that your angled balcony is more aft-facing.

 

A forward-facing angled balcony would give a better view towards the front of the ship.

An aft-facing angled balcony would give a better view towards the rear of the ship. 

Some forward-facing angled balconies face the aft-facing angled balconies and vice versa. 

 

Whether it is port or starboard doesn't make a difference.

If you have a forward facing balcony in hot climate areas, that wind might feel good, no?  Trying to see if this is a big problem or not.

Plus, you can see them, so cocktails on the balcony can be pretty interesting. 🙂
