CTCruzin Posted December 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2008 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.

Sue L Posted December 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madforcruising Posted December 23, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2008 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.

wrp96 Posted December 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2008 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.

hammer52 Posted December 24, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2008 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. See attached photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted December 24, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monn_a Posted December 29, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2008 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.

monn_a Posted December 31, 2008 #15 Share Posted December 31, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
