mom1965 Posted May 5, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Does anybody know if this hump cabin has a bigger balcony - what are the advantages of the hump cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_nyc Posted May 5, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I believe on all Voyager Class hump cabins that the balconies are all the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted May 5, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm not sure of the answer to your question, but I do have some advice regarding deck 6 balconies. On the first three Voyager class ships (Voyager, Explorer, Adventure), the balconies are built into the structure of the ship, so they are made of steel. It provides a very private cavelike effect, which is very nice, more sound resistant and slightly cooler in temperature. On decks 7-10, the balcony front is steel up to approx thigh-high and then is topped with glass, so that when you are seated or when you are lying in bed with the curtains open, you can see over the steel and into the sea. However, on deck 6, the steel wall comes up higher and there is no glass top, making the front opening slightly smaller and making the view slightly more restricted. It is not a deal-breaker by any means (in fact, we generally like deck 6 because it's just one flight down to the promenade and the entertainment venues), but on these three ships, I would have a slight preference for a balcony on deck 7-10 if you have a choice. (Navigator and Mariner balconies are added onto the outside of the ship's structure and are made of glass, so they do not have this issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 5, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2009 On the Voyager class ships, the balcony sizes don't vary because of the hump. The "draw" of these rooms is the sheer and utter convenience--you're very close to the stair and elevator foyer, so you can be at your room in a few steps! That's the advantage! Hallways on ships are sooooooo long and if you tend to go back and forth to the cabin often, it can be a huge pain in the rear--and that goes double for women wearing heels on formal night (or any other night, for that matter!)
