Silver sea's vista with a balcony

[mcsean]

I have booked a cabin on the Whisper-vista catg. and I see that some of these cabins have what seems to be a shared balcony. Can anyone explain how this works out?

Thanks

WOW! You are one lucky cruiser! Those suites book very quickly! There are only about 9 I believe, and yes, they 'share' a balcony - your door opens directly onto the deck so it becomes a 'common' veranda. The big plus is that you get a balcony without paying the premium rate charged for a veranda suite. The one drawback I noticed, is that they don't have any deck furniture on them, so sitting out on the deck isn't an option. I have seen people bring a chair from their room outside. The veranda extends across the front of all 9 staterooms, so it is very large. Being that is a 'shared' balcony, you do lose some privacy, but the benefits far outway this. Congratulations! I have waitlisted for one of these rooms 3 times and have never lucked out!!!!
