@topanga49er @Ourusualbeach The deck 17 suites don’t appear to have enough shade over their respective balconies. That is at least for the OS, GS and JYs on either side of deck 17. 
Maybe next time @Eremita85 is out there he could treat us with even closer up photos of that area and the balcony covers 😀. Thanks in advance.

Which suites do you mean, the loft suites? Finki was faster once again, I have my inclining test photos still waiting for editing and posting. Here are some photos of the loft suite area from the same day.

Thanks for the quick response as I know it’s late there for you. Your photos are always much appreciated. Below are two snapshots highlighting the suite area I mentioned.

@Eremita85 thank you so much for these photos of the loft suites.  I’ve been trying to find some and these are great.  I was having a hard time envisioning them.  This helps a lot.

Thank you !!  I had been wondering if there would be a view of the Aqua Dome for those suites that are next to the dome but it doesn't look like there will be.  We have the last Icon Loft all the way to the left....and I also wondered if we would have a view of the pools, etc directly to the right and behind the suites area but it also looks like that view is pretty much blocked unless you stick your head out and crane your neck to the past the privacy divider.

Thanks very, very much for this photo and the angle it provides. I could be wrong (or my eyes playing tricks on me 😄) but, it does appear so far that all those deck 17 suites excluding the Loft Suites only have partial balcony covered.

Yeah it does look that way. Not sure what they were thinking if that is the final way it’s supposed to look like.

You think the would have extended the deck above out more to the edge of the balcony or even overhanging a bit and create more pax space above

Thank you so much for finding these photos.  Call me crazy, but I actually took deck 17 GS and JY bc I like sunny balconies.  Hopefully everyone above us has better things to view than middle age sunbathers!

@Eremita85 Thanks again for all the photo updates you shared.

And drag their deck chairs around right above your bed at 7 am.

Why don't they just call it the maiden voyage. In reality that is what it really is lol personally I couldn't care less when it is Ill be there February 3rd no matter what. Just out of curiosity if those dates are correct is there any idea when those sailings will go on sale?

Those are not revenue sailings - just some invited guests, like TAs.

Those are TA and media comp cruises.  The first paid cruise is the 27th

And most likely sailing at 50% to 60% capacity based on the other TA / media sailings I've been on.

Ah that makes a little more sense. Thanks for the info.

I'm wondering if that stay in Ponce would be for final outfitting of the ship with things they had in the US and didn't ship over and primarily to fill Centrsl park with all the plants.
