Will my balcony...

[sharonh1885]

Now you folks are just plain silly. If they offered cabins with windows that showed below the water line too much negative publicity would arise over the garbage that gets dumped into the ocean. As it sits now, by the time the garbage surfaces the ship has already sailed out of its sight. :) I'm putting my name and address in the corked but empty wine bottle next cruise just to see how long it takes to find its way home.

I booked guaranteed O/V -- I wonder where my window will be??? I guess below the waterline is still O/V!! :confused: :D

[parrotthead]

of course it will be below water...you said you booked an OV (oecan-view) not a SV (sky-view)

Duh...;)

....I have said that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Now I retire and I find one!

[Underwater Balcony Snob]

I can't help it, too many people have asked about my name...folks, here is the inspiration to all of my madness!

 

(Ok, so maybe not ALL of my madness, but I did laugh so hard I pulled a muscle, no, I'm serious!!!!:eek:)

 

After much contemplation, I believe I know how the MD is handled with the underwater balcony rooms (and those with with windows and glass floors as well), the good old orange vests with the "too many drunks have put it in their mouths" whistle, we get a good old fashioned cement block. They figure we'd rather sink than swim anyway.

Please, please tell me the person who started this thread was joking, to see how everyone reacted. If not, I think a below water balcony suite should be created just for them, with their bed out on the balcony

[miss nikki]

this thread rocks! :D

Never fear, it's all fun and games! The OP is an experienced cruiser, just adding a little humor to our lives.

 

Enjoy!:D

this thread rocks! :D

 

You'll enjoy your first cruise! Hopefully you're taking someone you can tolerate...otherwise, give them the gift of the underwater balcony room :D

[Perkolater]

So, if your balcony is underwater, how long of decompression stop do you need before heading to the lido deck??

 

 

 

Thanks for a hilarious thread!

They acually charge extra for the underwater balconies because of the complication with scuba gear and air locks.

I noticed that when I booked an underwater balcony on the Miracle for next January... it was almost as pricey as a Cat 11 suite! :eek:

Depends on the amount of Methane in your system.

[tha sista]

Do you have an inside or an outside balcony room?

Is that HR Puffinstuff in your sig???

[Little Elm]

They charge for the scuba equipment in your cabin.

I can't decide what is funnier, the witty responses or the folks that think it's a serious thread.

:D Your screen name is the funniest part of this whole thread! :D

[sfagent]

Is that you're exempt from the Muster Drill. For those who have traveled a lot this makes it a very coveted cabin.

Thats because if you put the life vest on in the cabin before the drill.......you'll float up and get stuck on the ceiling!!

 

"Maintenance.....go to cabin -1231....we have another floater"

[CharlotteCpl]

Imagine the tips you have to give for the services(room service, cabin steward). :eek:

[picklebongo]

I can easily see how someone would think this thread was serious, particularly in light of some of the questions crew members are asked. Everybody obviously doesn't know the OP has cruised before, so it could have been a legitimate question.

[parrotthead]

:D Just got back on Friday from the Ecstasy. You wont believe it!

We booked an oceanview and were upgraded to the famed Aft UnderWater Balcony!!!:cool:

The view was fantastic!! I got a great picture of it !!:)

What do ya think>>?

:p

[Skyev21]

be on a floor above the water? I want to see the water from above and also will want to open the door and go out on the balcony which will be hard if it is below the water.

teehee, sorry I couldn't resist

 

ARE U SERIOUS????? I NEVER KNEW THEY HAD BALCONIES BELOW THE WATER!!! COOL, I'M CALLING TO DOWNGRADE MY BALCONY CABIN RIGHT NOW!!!!

 

 

PARROTTHEAD, YOU ARE A GENIUS! :D :D :D :p :D :confused:
