mafig Posted December 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2022 What is your opinion of the Family Suite with Balcony (SB) on Dawn vs. Forward Facing Balcony Suite (SF). SN only has Deck 8 available or I would select that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinmeme Posted December 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I would go for family balcony. We have sailed in the family suites at lease 3 times and loved it . I have heard over and over the forward facing balconies can get pretty windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted December 11, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted December 11, 2022 We were in a family suite many years ago when they first came out. We tried the one without the balcony. I didn't think I'd miss one, but I did. I've been looking for youtubes of the family balconies and the forward facing suites and I've found that NCL really likes to change their designation. The letters keep changing. Thanks for getting back to me.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted December 11, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Anyone else have any experience in the forward facing suites on Dawn? And about the "family" suite with balcony. Do a lot of families book them? There's just two of us and don't want to be surrounded by a lot of boisterous people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieRoo Posted December 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) We upgraded to a forward facing suite once on the Pearl. Two things we didn’t like. One, the theater was two decks down and we heard them practicing during the day and during shows. It was pretty loud. Not sure if that’s an issue on the Dawn. Second, it was pretty rough when the seas were churned up. I wouldn’t pick that location again. We also did the suite without the balcony once. I really missed the balcony. We have done two bedrooms several times. That would be my first choice of those three on the Dawn. Edited December 11, 2022 by RosieRoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted December 11, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Thanks @RosieRoo. Good points about the forward facing suite. One thing I forgot to mention....I don't like getting my hair messed.😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted December 11, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I finally found a you tube of 9500, which is the only SF available that's not connecting, and the view of the balcony is of the crew pool (or hot tub). I seem to recall reading somewhere that that was a problem. So the you tube made up my mind. Thanks again to the two people (only) who took the time to help me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
