Mini suite aft question

[elliotlake12]

Looking at the deck plan,mini suite aft, if your sitting on balcony it seems to over look aft pool/lounge area.Is that a problems as far as privacy, relaxing on your balcony?

What ship has mini-suites?

I was referring to Aurea suite,deck 9,Peggy's Point ,Seashore

Those suites are really nice. Fair amount of space. The balcony wraps and is long, but not very wide. Also very convenient to get around with the two aft elevators right there. Easy to get to the adult area on deck 8 and the buffet and main pool deck. Those elevators were usually not very busy, only at a few select times.

 

My guess is that Deck 9 could be a bit noisy at times with the pool and bar right below. No issues with the higher floor levels, which is what we had.

Deck 8 starboard side has a section that is just a little farther forward that is part of the adult pool and bar area that allows outdoor smoking. So some balconies near that area (since you go out on the side and wrap to the back) could detect some of the smoke depending on conditions. As far up as we were, I never did, but deck 9 and 10 might.

The only suites with wrap around balconies on deck 9 are the SL1 Premium suites 9282 and 9285. The 36 cabins with numbers between 9245 and 9276 plus cabin 9279 are category SM Junior Suites.  Those cabins were only recently reclassified from Fantastica to Aurea and they are much smaller than the SL1s. The interiors of the SMs are actually the same size as the interiors of the non-suite aurea balcony cabins 9018-9071 but they have extra long 172 sq. ft. balconies.  The balconies are nearly the same size as the rooms.

Ahh, they were referred to as aft Aurea suites, and I wasn't aware of the reclassification of other staterooms, although I found the mini suite reference odd. I guess strike my whole post!

From deck 10, # 10288, but you get the idea.

We will be in 14280 in Nov, and really looking forward to it.

I really loved the extended balcony on deck 9 people above can look down at the uncovered portion, which is great for sun bathing, and the people on the walking path on deck 8 can see the portion close to the rail. Not very private, but very spacious
