fedexretiree Posted November 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I was wondering if anyone has stayed in either of these rooms, 6303 or 6302 on the Equinox and what is the size of the balcony. On the chart it appears to be larger than the normal balcony, is that correct? Trying to decide if its worth having a little bit larger balcony or staying mid ship with the normal size balcony. Neither one of us has any mobility issues, but I know that the Equinox is larger than the Summit. We typically stay in one of the Sweet 16 rooms on the Summit and are totally spoiled with having such a large balcony at the bargain basement prices so I was wondering if it is that large. Thanks in advance for the help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted November 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yes, both balconies are a little bit larger than the normal ones, but not the size of the ones on the hump. If you don't mind the walk, I would go for it. Not sure what your bed location preference would be, but in 6303 has the bed by the balcony, whereas in 6302, has the bed by the bath. 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know Approximately how much larger is it than the normal size balcony? We are booking in the 2C category what category is on the hump? Is 6240 a larger balcony, it is close to the hump?

PelicanLvr Posted November 21, 2020 #8 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Have actually stayed in 6302 and would NOT recommend. Balcony is slightly larger than standard, but nothing like the sweet 16 on M-class (which we have also stayed in multiple times). The balcony of 6302 ends, but the roof of the restaurant below (at balcony floor level - it was blue in the ship photos) continues out. Not only does that block your view down to the water, but crew would walk & work there using the window washing machines (yes, on the restaurant roof right outside your balcony) while the ship was in port.....most days. Guess why that's why the restaurant windows are so clean each night! Very strange experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked in that same stateroom on Eclipse next year. Definitely go for that one. It has the huge balcony on the hump, 2 and 1/2 times the size of 6302. It has bed by the balcony, and the view might be a little obstructed by one of the boat davits, but I wouldn't let that worry you. 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedexretiree Posted November 21, 2020 Author #10 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Thanks.. This one isn't directly on the hum but on the angle to the hump. I have read some reviews about "white noise in these cabins" not sure if that would bother me or not. Wonder if there is a difference between the noise level between the Equinox and Eclipse.

excitedofharpenden Posted November 21, 2020 #11 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I've stayed in 6303 three times. Love it there. Larger balcony (don't get too hung up on size) and a solid wall to one side of the balcony because of location. The overhang of the blue roof to Tuscan didn't bother me at all and it's such a quiet private spot at the end of the corridor. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fedexretiree Posted November 22, 2020 Author #13 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks for all of the help with this. I know that the port side has the bed near the balcony door and the starboard side has the bed by the bathroom..Last question,. Which side will have the tv directly in front of the bed?
