Pearl - Deck 8 - Balcony

[ESMBDS]

Has anyone been in a balcony on this deck? I was hoping to be up higher.

 

The pictures of the outside of the balcony on thid deck look different from the balconies on upper decks, or am I just not seeing the pictures right?

There are hulled (partially enclosed/framed) balconies on deck 8. They have their advantages and disadvantages. They don't let in as much sun, but block out the wind.

Thanks for the explanation!

I'm sailing on the Pearl in Sept and I've signed up for a "pocket balcony" on deck 8. Go to http://www.icruise.com and look up "virtual tours" of staterooms on the Pearl. They show both the open and pocket balconies (BB, BC, BD catagories).

 

Wind and rain protection in Alaska. Maybe?

 

Enjoy your cruise.

If you remember, I'd love to hear what you thought of it. I'm on the 10/23 sailing.

I'll be happy to tell you how the pocket balcony worked out when I get back. I'll leave you a msg on the 10/23 Pearl roll call.
