QUERY: Encore Deck 5 (V1) Veranda

[Kamfish642]

Just booked a cruise on the Encore for August 2023 on Deck 5, V1 Veranda Suite (543).  Does anyone have a photo of veranda railing, since it is described as partial metal and glass?

 

Deck 5 suites are also described as have a slightly larger veranda.  Does this reduce the size of the suite itself?

 

Thank you have response from you Seabourn veterans.  This will be our 3rd Seabourn cruise.

Here’s a link to photos of a deck 5 veranda suite on the Ovation (sister to the Encore) from elsewhere on the Cruise Critic site, including the balcony. This will give you an idea if no-one has anything more specific.

There are also lots of professionally taken photos from around the ship which we found really useful when planning our first Seabourn cruise. 
 

We haven’t done v1 ourselves, only v2 which has full glass balcony so sorry no personal experience but hope that’s some help.

Having done many Seabourn sailings with partial metal balcony, it make absolutely no difference to enjoyment of balcony and cruise.

I know your cruise isn’t for another year and a half but, with COVID, those suites (on Ovation) have been reserved for quarantine of new crew, and others. If COVID is still an issue then, you might get upgraded to a higher deck.
