vacationlover16 Posted July 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Would you recommend staying on this deck? We are looking at a balcony room. Thanks in advance for your replies! Edited July 13, 2019 by vacationlover16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Sure, I'd have no problem staying in those brand new staterooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosieCat-MN Posted August 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I have a very similar post. I can't offer any recommendations. I was looking for feedback from anyone who has stayed in the new staterooms on Deck 11. But I think it's going to be really cool to be that close to the pool, and the solarium in between will be a good buffer for the noise (I hope). Plus they are brand new. I have an inside stateroom booked for next June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted August 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Just a personal opinion, but I would not like to stay in them. I like being mid to aft, not so far forward. My husband's son is staying in the very front on a cruise in Jan when we all go together, so will be interesting to see their cabin and see how he likes being right in front of the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been on 3 cruises - so not terribly familiar with the differences. Rocking of the boat maybe? Or just ease of getting around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been forward before, but we prefer mid to aft cabins. It is not that we will not do forward, just not our first choice Edited August 14, 2019 by karena1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belmontcrew Posted August 17, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We were in stateroom 1110 with our kids across the way in an interior. We all loved this location as we also like the panoramic ocean view rooms. The proximity to the pool is a big draw for us and it’s an easy elevator or walk down the stairs to the promenade. With the Bahama trip, we felt very little motion being on the front of the ship. We would not hesitate to book these again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely won't be much of a problem, but it could be. I don't get motion sickness (career Pilot and former Coast Guard). But we did a Bridge Tour on Freedom of the Seas and I have to admit that the motion on the bridge did start to bother me a bit. So just be forewarned.

Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted August 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I personally wouldn't chose that deck: 1- public area/space above on deck 12 (chaise lounges that willl be moved alot and deck washed down during the night, pool, fitness center....alot of traffic and possible noise) 2- The doors be kept opening due to the flow of traffic and my concern is that it may be too warm in the hallways 3- I also be concerned that it be too noisy with the traffic flow I only like cabins that have cabins on top of me and no public space.

cruisinbeeze Posted August 17, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We had a panoramic ocean view on deck 11 and absolutely loved it. Walked out our door and a short walk down the hall and onto the deck above the pool. Next to pool bar and music and a quick trip back to the room if needed. If you like chilling on deck as we do, these are perfect rooms. As my wife has issues with motion sickness, we booked a cabin that was as far away from the front as possible. Had no problems at all. We will book these same rooms again whenever they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panoramic Ocean rooms are on deck 12. The spa is above the interior rooms; but our kids never heard anything. 2- The doors be kept opening due to the flow of traffic and my concern is that it may be too warm in the hallways Never noticed that the hallways were any different in temperature than any other hallway. 3- I also be concerned that it be too noisy with the traffic flow There is very little traffic with these rooms. Depending on the room that was selected, you would have no more than 5-10 cabins beyond your stateroom. It’s probably much less traffic than most staterooms would have. I only like cabins that have cabins on top of me and no public space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted August 17, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2019 What are the balcony's like 1152, 1150, 1100, 1102,1104? I can't find any youtube videos of them. Wouldn't they be really really windy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in 1106 and our neighbors allowed us to see their cabin as they also wanted to see ours. 1104 is narrow but long enough to accommodate 2 loungers. The wind and motion weren’t problems for us.

firefly333 Posted November 23, 2020 #17 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Longer balconies nice, but not sure I'm crazy about the view which isnt wide open. These would be more awesome on the aft than the front. Thanks for the video 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how I feel about the balcony. I think for me, there has been some question about the panoramic suites above and not having any privacy, and that would probably be the deal breaker for me. But then, aft balconies are often tiered so that if you are on lower decks, there isn't as much privacy there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not to concerned about the privacy issue. I'm not dressed or doing anything on my balcony that is especially private. Mostly just sitting, reading and having a drink. The only down side for me would be the protecting shields affecting my picture taking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted November 24, 2020 #20 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I didn't really like how the cabins above had a full view of the balcony. I think I'd prefer being on the side of the ship. I did like your video though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
