zackarykeef Posted April 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Can anyone comment on the angled staterooms on the S-class ships, whether you feel like they are better or worse than a standard verandah? From the deck plans. the room appears angled too, which seem like the room is smaller than the others. On the forward-angled rooms, is wind a problem! Thanks in advance!

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted April 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I assume you are referring to the cabins on the slant off the hump. The cabins are not slanted, they are exactly like all other veranda cabins. The balconies, however, are much larger than regular balconies. I always book one on the rear of the hump thinking wind could possibly be a problem on the front of the hump, but I've never actually tested that out.

jelayne Posted April 5, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) The rooms themselves are not angled they are the same size as the other cabins in the category. We stayed in one and had a few windy days so we couldn’t comfortably use the balcony with the wind swirling around. On calm gays it was great.

We've never found wind to be a problems on the slanted hump balconies. We've enjoyed both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted April 5, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2022 We absolutely love those cabins for the big balcony. If we don’t book sunset verandas we book those on the slant of the hump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted April 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2022 S-Class. My favorite on the hump cabins are the C1's deck 12. 2105 or 2107. Right out to the pool or up one deck to the Oceanview café to bring food back to the cabin. Under the carpeted area, Very little noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NantahalaCruiser Posted April 5, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) The cabins on the slant have two different sized balconies: half are somewhat larger (about 50% larger that a regular balcony,) while the other half are extra larger (about 150% larger) since the cabins and balconies are arranged somewhat like the REALLY BAD following sketch. Ignore the Xs - had to use them as fillers ________ |______|_| |______|_\ |______|__\ X |______|_\ X |______|__\ X X |______|_| X X |______|_| They alternate, with the extra larger balconies starting with the cabin closest to the non-slant cabins in the middle of the hump.

upwarduk Posted April 5, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2022 This is the balcony of a 1A cabin. The cabin itself is regular size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsun Posted April 5, 2022 #11 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Loved the rear slanted balcony on S -class, the deeper balcony made it (feel) more sheltered, perfect for sailing through the Norwegian fjords! Note that on an overcast day the deeper balcony MAY make the cabin feel slightly darker. We booked the same category cabin with rear slant for our next cruise.

zackarykeef Posted April 5, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Thanks for all this info! I guess it’s confusing, as the deck plans make it seem like the room is oddly angled as well. Good to know they’re not! I didn’t think I’d want to be on 12 right near everything, but now y’all may have me convinced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D C Posted April 5, 2022 #13 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Love them! We've been in 8257 (forward slant) on multiple occasions and have never had a wind problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT-Miami Posted April 5, 2022 #14 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The angled balcony on the back of the hump is our favorite on S-class. Never any wind issues. These photos are from cabin 9192 on Eqinox. The room is regular-shaped, but the balcony is very roomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFree Posted April 5, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Our very first cruise was to Alaska on the Solstice, travelling with Judy's cousins. Their travel agent arranged slant cabins for both of us. Ours slanted forward, theirs slanted aft. Our balcony was windy and the cabin was noisy when the balcony door was open. The cousins' cabin was evidently quiet enough to sleep with the balcony slightly open. From this, we concluded that there is a difference, forward and aft.

dkjretired Posted April 5, 2022 #16 Share Posted April 5, 2022 If you intend to read on the hump balconies, bring a portable light especially if you have a larger one, they can be very dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiccups Posted April 5, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 5, 2022 As everyone has said, the rooms aren’t angles at all, you just have the larger balconies. We love them and alway grab one if it’s available. I try to get the first one “off the hump.” Third off would be my next choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faival Posted November 28, 2022 #19 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I am thinking of cabin 7161 on Silhouette. Has anyone any negative comments about this cabin which I know is on the “hump”. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
