Tsunami74 Posted December 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2023 On upcoming April's trans Atlantic cruise on the Grandeur, when we booked much of it was waitlisted, so we upgraded to a pent house (first time!) but the only available one was on deck 6. I especially enjoy sitting on the veranda watching the ocean. However, someone said that the verandas on the lower decks are often unusable due to sea spray. Has anyone been on deck six in any of the newer (Grandeur, Explorer, Splendor) ships? Did you find that to be true? That would be so disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gpilon Posted December 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Suggest you check out Suite Guru for deck 6 on both Splendor and Explorer. Good into there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystictraveler Posted December 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Just sailed on the Splendor in cabin 660. It was a great location on the back third of the ship. We had a very smooth ride even on the windy days. It was convenient to the rear stairs which afforded quick access to Coffee Connection and everything else on deck 5. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be so disappointing Just off Grandeur in Cabins 608 and 662; did TA on Splendor in April 2023. Sat/slept on verandah almost every day that temperature would allow but wasn't out there during rough seas (we hit 3 significant storms). ps: Those usual big, blue, heavy wool blankets weren't available on Grandeur TA ("they haven't arrived yet"); weren't available on pool deck either I got 2 long velour "blankets" that were more like large towels!

annapolitan369 Posted December 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 14, 2023 We have been on both Splendor and Explorer, including a transatlantic, and no problem with suites on Deck 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagerly awaiting our Grandeur assignment for January... On deck 4 on Azamara in September we had a room that, for all intents and purposes, seemed to perhaps be INSIDE the winch. We did not sleep past 6am the entire cruise, I'm pretty sure 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
