Sovereign--Balcony--Deck 9

[PH8]

I read this on another cruise board.........and found it very interesting.....these are posts by 2 different people..........

 

 

My son and his wife are on their honeymoon and called from their balcony on the Sovereign of the Seas. What a great surprise for them!We gave them the cruise as a wedding present and the cabin (9028) is listed as Superior Oceanview but is not supposed to have a balcony and is not shown with a balcony on the deck plan. I know they added about 60 balconies to the Sovereign in recent refurbishment and I guess they don't show all of them on their website

 

 

There is a Balcony off cabin 9028. Not many people know about it. I always mention that and try to book my clients into it. Its a small personal balcony, and it is the only one on the ship besides on deck 10.

 

 

 

Now I have been on the SS at least 15 times and never knew this..........has anyone on here actually had this cabin :confused: and do you have pics?

I have been on the Sovereign a few times and never heard of this as well.

 

here is a photo of the ouside of the ship and it looks like there may be a door just at the last lifeboat that maye could open but it doesnt look like a blacony.

Interesting... I've been on SOS a few times as well & thought that only deck10 had balconies. Sure hope someone who has actually stayed in 9028 comes to confirm one way or the other...

Actually, that picture is from one of my albums! We were in 9026 on the Sovereign, and if you look at http://family.webshots.com/photo/1469106277079365048AeBuhV you'll be able to see the balcony partition.

 

We were really curious about it when we were aboard in September of 2005, but as far as we could tell that stateroom was being used as a utility/storage room and not as a stateroom. We presumed that was because it would be too easy for a guest to clamber onto the lifeboat from that area.

In April I will be in 1048 which is somewhat above and a little over from 9028. I will attempt to take a picture from above.

 

:D

 

EDIT: As a matter of fact I got my dad 1046 which is even closer to 9028.

That is your album, sorry I dind't credit you, thats what came up on a google search.

 

I had no idea that the view from deck 9 was so obstructed. There are 4 cabins on 8 that we always try to get that have almost no obstruction.

Great info, wish I had this when booking our room on deck 8 for next month. Also very interested in the mystery deck 9 balcony!

[seagoer55]

Ok, where is Carpetman with our review?? Inquiring minds want to know if there is a balcony on deck 9..

[berwyn]

Maybe he is not allowed to say.

[PH8]
