Sky Princess Emerald Deck Balconies

[whatcruiseisnext]

Are the balconies on the Emerald deck of the Sky Princess uncovered? I heard both that they were and that they weren't? Thanks!

All the princesses balconies are covered especially on the royal class ships including the sky

We’ve been on both the Royal and the Regal multiple times and know those balconies are covered but I’ve been reading people’s postings that have been on the Sky and all of them are saying that the balconies on Emerald deck are totally exposed. That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

Not all balconies are covered.

We had a Lido deck mini suite and it was covered. The Sky now has cabins on either side of the retreat pool and their balconies extend over the lido deck mini suites. If I remember correctly the Dolphin and Emerald balconies where not covered.

We had a balcony on deck 9(Dolphin) which was covered, but the wider balconies on deck 8 stuck out beyond our balcony.

On Sky. BW  Category E424 on Emerald deck Is an obstructed view balcony that juts out over Alfredos. Partly covered. No real obstruction looking straight out. Look to sides you see parts of lifeboats. Look down you see deck/ Alfredo’s outdoor seating.

Are we discussing fully uncovered, or Partially covered? Because I first leave only known princess to have covered balconies in some cabin said would have partially covered but you always had a spot to sit in the shade to some extent that was covered if it wasn't fully.

We had E444 an obstructed balcony on Sky TA and it was totally covered. Could not see down into the water but great view of the ocean.

I was in one of the cabins which stuck out. The one next to me was angled. There are a few different shape/ size balconies midship. I will see if I can find a photo

in my pics I see mostly fully covered balconies to the right of my cabin and mine would be same except for  corners that jut out and exposed. I did get bright sunshine in the afternoons.

We were in the Owners Suite (Emerald) and the aft balconies were extended out from the deck above. Uncovered there.

We had Marina Deck balconies on the Sky.  Some of the lower decks did have exposed balconies. 

 

A private balcony and protection from sun / rain is important to us.  I wish Princess would include that information on their deck plans.

Wonder why they do not?
