OceanDreaming2 Posted May 22, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2008 We had an AC (9500) on the Pearl when we cruised the Caribbean last year and it was wonderful. We sat on the balcony reading, sunning, sleeping, etc. and were not bothered by wind. Alaska will be different, weather-wise. If you have a mid-summer cruise, you'll probably spend a lot of time on that balcony. And, even if the weather isn't perfect, spending time on that balcony when you are close enough to the glaciers that you can touch them ... well, let's just say I wouldn't hesitate to book that AC.

Cosmopolitan Posted May 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hope you got through!!! My favorite balcony is fwd. I love seeing where I am going. If it's windy, just sit down and you won't feel the wind;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
