ESMBDS Posted July 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2011 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?

Stacey 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.

VaBchBum Posted July 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaBchBum Posted July 11, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
