Iona balcony cabin

[devonport]

Hi 

On Iona 30th October just been allocated deck 5 cabin 5601 GC.

 

I can see there are cabins below us but dreaded restaurant above (aft) has anyone had or been in this cabin or deck 5 aft?

 

Also wandering how high up deck 5 good view or no view.

 

Thanks

I'm on the same cruise and have been allocated 5421 (midship starboard).

 

I was going to ask the same thing.

 

I've seen a photo of the balcony's from the outside and they do look a bit 'pokey'.

There is a video on UTube of a deck 5 balcony. The cabin looked fine. My only concern would be the ' Beep, beep ' of the forklift trucks reversing when docked at 06.00am.

We had 5557 (Starboard, mid aft) on the recent cruise to Spain & Portugal, absolutely no issues with noise at all. The cabin was laid out with the bed adjacent to the window so it was little tight for space on that side and you needed to take a little care when leaping out of bed in the morning, other than that it was terrific. The balcony is a little on the small side and you need to wrestle the door at times to get out, but the views are fantastic and you over look the water, whereas on upper decks your balcony overlooks deck 8. Roomiest shower we've ever experienced on a ship.
