Edge/Apex Non Infinite Balconies

[lydnsyd]

We usually opt for the Solstice class of ship but have seen a few nice itineraries on the new class of ships. I really don't fancy the Infinite style balconies - Do the new ships have any of the normal style balconies anywhere? It's difficult to see from the deck plans

Yes, but probably not in the locations/price points you have in mind when thinking about the Solstice class.  Have a look at the attached deck plan (the colour coding and descriptions in the legend provide the detail you need.).

 

Oops.... doesn’t like the site I posted (*****)

 

Hmmmm....this is tougher than I imagined.

And the legend....

Try  getting a sunset Veranda..4 mdr plan.  Lots of walking but cabin is larger and has an awesome outdoor aft balcony. Sometimes pricing   was okay but have not been following prices recently.

The ones designated 1A and 1B have “in the hull” balconies.  They have sliding glass doors leading to the outside.  The balcony is pretty small.

Yes, the only other staterooms with balconies, besides the 1A and 1B categories, are Suites.

SV also has outside balconies.  We have SV booked on the Edge.....  C3 is infinite balcony. Usually book Concierge but wanted SV for the large 'regular 'aft balcony.

Yes, you are correct. The Sunset verandahs do have very nice verandahs on the aft. Don't know why I forgot, we usually book an Aft S1 next door to them. 😊

However, the C3's are infinite verandahs despite the description of “Balcony comfort”. They are clearly shown as such on the X deck plans.

Balcony comfort is a new term to me.

I've seen the term used on other booking websites.

It's a Euro site I go to when I want to check cabin availability so I copied as is......... Why they describe that balcony as 'comfort' is odd.  Maybe because it's within the cabin and has more 'comfortable' chairs to sit in....lol?

I use the same site for the same reason. And I have also found the description a little odd. 😉

Thanks for all the information - I think we may look at the SV cabins

[rance]

We stayed in a hull balcony and I do not recommend them. They are very small and the room was surprisingly dark. Ours was also located over the main theatre so was loud at night and there were also rehearsals during the day if you like to nap.

SV sounds like a better choice.

If you haven’t already, please be sure to put your information into the edge stateroom information database sticky.

 

there are hull balconies both fore and aft.  The ones to the rear of the ship will obviously not be over the theater and might be preferred if you’re looking for that class of stateroom

Good point...as often as we've sailed X, I've never heard of the 'hull' cabins...no idea which booking class they would be.

[Alakegirl]

Celebrity doesn’t use the term hull balconies, although other cruise lines do.  I first saw that used on Cunard.  They are category 1A and 1B on Edge-class ships

Sunset Verandah on Edge was amazing.  We were on deck 9 so only passenger cabins above and below us.  The view is amazing...the extra steps a plus for anyone who enjoys gelato as much as I do!!!
