evelynw2 Posted October 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If we want a more traditional balcony rather than an infinite balcony which rooms would have them ? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted October 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Sunset verandas have a traditional balcony. There are also some cabins forward and aft that have are called Deluxe Porthole Veranda, they are similar to what some lines call cove verandas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted October 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Either a suite or Sunset Verandah. We're going on the Beyond, and booked a Sunset for the first time because of the balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) This is one of the “cove” or “hull” balconies mentioned in post #2 Edited October 2, 2022 by cruisestitch 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola2013 Posted October 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I’ve done the SV twice on Edge and have a SV booked on an upcoming Apex cruise. The balcony is very spacious…room for two loungers and a table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the top part above the railing (?) is open to the air? 2. It looks like people can walk by on the outside on the lowest level?? Or is that just crew accessible? Ok, 3 questions: The ones you did *not* circle...are they hull balcony rooms or something else? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a movable window, it’s a glass railing like you expect a verandah to have. Below photos show rain splashing on the table crew only can use the access you see on the lower floor only the round openings are “hull balconies”. All the others are the so-called “infinite verandahs” Edited October 2, 2022 by cruisestitch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dlh015 Posted October 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2022 @cruisestitch Perfect! Thank you! I was just looking at Edge...those cabins would be great for us...I think the portal looks pretty cool... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hmorrow Posted October 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2022 We're on the upcoming trans atlantic, on apex. We're in Aqua. I didn't realize when I booked, about the infinite balcony. We REALLY want a real balcony. We're trying for a move up, to a sky suite, but i doubt that will happen, as there are no suites available. If we "downgrade" to the hull balcony, will we get obc, for the difference of our payment for aqua, or a refund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that you would be repriced to the current fare for the new cabin which might be more or less than your Aqua cabin depending on when you booked.

This is my bad for not doing research on the "edge" class ships, but we're REALLY not happy without a REAL balcony to cross the ocean. I know- first world problems....

P2 category on deck 6 and P1 on 7 thru 9. It looks like there's a decent amount available on your sailing, so I would wait to see if a move up bid is successful before you try to make any changes. If not successful, then you could wait to get onboard and decide whether the infinite veranda is a deal breaker. You could then ask guest services if you could move to one of the porthole veranda cabins while keeping the Aquaclass amenities. No guarantee they would do this. You could also keep your eye out for sunset verandas or ss becoming available. They normally keep a waitlist on record for people that want to upgrade, so you should probably call and get on this in case one opens. IMO, the porthole veranda is worse than an infinite veranda. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location doesn’t bother us. We actually like to be forward, as we like the movement….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse in what way? The veranda, itself, or the location of the cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
