Infinity- larger balcony 9173?

[OC SeaPA]

We are going through the panama canal in November. The other couple has an inside, so would like to know if 9173 balcony is larger than most- accomodate 4 of us? Big difference in price to go to the next level cabin. Is this "the hump"? Any other suggestions for cabin # and we'll see if available. Either side better for viewing the canal, or both about equal?

Yes, that is a slightly larger balcony and should accomodate 4 of you. Keep in mind, however, there will only be 2 chairs and a table. There is no "hump" on M-Class ships. Either side is fine for the Panama Canal. You will probably find other venues to go to during the transit as well - it is a long day!

 

Only other suggestion I would have for a 2B cabin is the same location on Deck 8 - less of an overhang from above. Otherwise, the location is great as you are very near the aft elevators, and easy access to the buffet on Deck 10.

 

You've picked a great cruise! Enjoy.

Thanks. I think I will call TA tomorrow for deck 8 or 6 (sweet 16) if available. Any suggestions for a larger balcony without going up in price?
