We were recently on a Northern Europe cruise on Splendor. We had booked in Cat E but were offered an upgrade to Penthouse. We declined a Penthouse C for the same reason FengShui@sea recommended against it in this thread. We loved the Penthouse B we did upgrade to and are on the waitlist for a Penthouse on our Grandeur Panama Canal cruise in January, 2024.
I'm still concerned about the steel balcony front on 700, 800 and 900 but I am intrigued by the idea of having a front-facing balcony for the canal transit. These suites have not been reviewed in Suite Guru, and I could not find any reviews on YouTube either.
With that in mind, has anyone actually been in one of these cabins? How does it compare layout wise with Penthouse B or A?
