Balcony question??

[CTCruzin]

I can remember someone posting here that there is a ship where the balcony isn't the outermost part of the ship. That is, you could actually be sitting on your balcony and other passengers could be walking by. Maybe it's just on certain decks? Anyone know which ship this is, I'd like to steer clear of it.

Thanks

some of the older ships I believe like the Majesty or Monarch, maybe. I have never been on them but like you I remember the description.

I´ve never been on the older ships either, but I doubt it´s a RCI ship.

I can´t see such a balcony on the ship plans. But maybe someone knows.

 

However I remember reports about Oceanview cabins (not balconies) that have the promenade deck in front of the windows and so people that walk by can look into your window.

On the Sovereign class the oceanviews on deck 7 look onto the promenade deck, so you do have people walking past but they aren't balcony cabins.

 

I think I have seen reports on the Carnival board of people being able to walk past balconies on some of their older ships but I may have imagined that.

Only person I have ever seen walk by my balcony was the window washers :)

Star Princess and a couple of the sister ship have balconies on the Emerald Deck in the front of the ship that has a catwalk to the bow.

Have to be careful joining the balcony club in one of those:)

On Majesty we were in a JS Balcony. The balcony is not quite the outermost area of the ship. We could look down and see the deck 7 promenade area below us.

I think that those are kind of neat looking!

The Voyager class ships on deck 6, their aft balconies have a large void in front on them and I believe that area can be accessed by other passengers. Here's a picture http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1348195624056865149oYocnN (I remembered reading that somewhere too)

Thank you for the clarification, I do remember reading that in a review though...

It is if a passenger jumps over a 6th deck balcony railing. :p ;) :D

So have you done it yourself?;)

I actually think this is the thread where someone mentioned being disturbed by others (at least the one I read :confused:), it wasn't a balcony at all but a forward oceanview...http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=654493&highlight=monarch+seas+7004
