Best Balcony Cabins on Deck 13 NCL Joy

[derek005]

Looking for the best unobstructed balconies on deck 13.

Thanks!

None of them other than 13108/13708 are really obstructed even though the deck plan has the

 PrivaSea

symbol in many places. 

 

13340 (angled/larger balcony than standard) and 13356 (wider balcony than standard) are good choices and they also have the bed near the balcony which I prefer. 

 

Is there a particular reason that you want deck 13? There are larger balcony options (some the same price) on other decks. 

 

What are your preferences? Near elevator? Away from elevator? Bed location? etc.

Two Wheels,

 

Thanks! When my wife books our cruises (I usually do), she just takes whatever they give her. We love the bed near the balcony and really don't care about elevator location. We just don't want a balcony looking down into another balcony and one we can see the water looking straight down.

 

Thanks Again!!!

Looking straight down to the water is rare. This is an intentional aspect of many modern ships. For the Breakaway/Breakaway Plus ships, the best options to look straight down to the water are the forward sections of deck 8 as those balconies extend out. If you are above them, your view straight down will be of their balcony.

 

For the most part, side balconies will look straight down to the Waterfront, the awning above the Waterfront, or the lifeboats depending on the location and the ship.
