handbellplayer Posted October 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I tried searching, but didn't find the answers I want. 1) How big are the JS (non-aft) balconies on FOS and what furniture do they have? 2) We are in JS 9558 and it looks like it might be under the cantilevered hot tub. Will there be a problem with that location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmetto Pilot Posted October 14, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks for the photos - that really helps! Does anyone know about the hot tubs? We never heard anything from above and out balcony door would not seal correctly for the first 2 nights. After maintenance came and fixed our door it was quiet has could be. The only thing I didn't like about our location was there was a mini sort of "hump" and you couldn't see anything aft. pic of the mini hump https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/209121_559433535725_4013793_o.jpg bonus pic of people running late to the ship. I really wish we had left them. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/209838_559434319155_4763959_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handbellplayer Posted October 15, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks for your help. everyone. So - do all JS balconies on Freedom class ships have two loungers and a dining sized table like the one in the photos? I'd love to be able to have breakfast on the balcony.

Luv, luv, luv the JS on the Freedom:) I'll be in this stateroom on Indy in December. I've heard that the tinted glass causes a distraction/interferes with the view of the ocean when seated. Did you have this issue? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 10, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You'll do most of your ocean gazing standing at the rail....even without tinted glass, the salt spray makes the glass hard to see thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to a thread that links pictures of the bronze glass: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2243586&highlight=bronze+glass We had 9258 which was the cabin before the tinted glass, we would not book a JS with the reflective glass. The threads in the above link list the "good" and "bad" cabin numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridianny Posted October 12, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'll be in this stateroom on Indy in December. I've heard that the tinted glass causes a distraction/interferes with the view of the ocean when seated. Did you have this issue? TIA. We were in 9564 on Freedom back in Aug. 2014. We loved the cabin and its location. The ONLY thing we did not like was the tinted glass on the balcony. When you were sitting down you really only see yourself in the reflection. Normally, on Celebrity ships we spend a lot of time on our balcony but did not use it as much because the tinted glass on Freedom. Had we known, I would've picked a different cabin. I believe only the few under the hot tubs have this but someone else may know better. Not a deal breaker but found it annoying. Btw..we had one lounger, one chair and one chair with footrest and a small, low table in case it matters. The balcony is very spacious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted October 12, 2015 #16 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Deck nine has cabins from deck 10 overhead. You won't hear much from above, as far as the pool deck area two decks ups. We were in a GS on deck ten one time right under the giant mother ship (hot tub) and it was not the hot tub noise we heard, but the scraping of dragging pool deck chairs at 3-4 am by the crew during clean up. Never again under the Solarium! :eek: The bronze color on the glass below the railing was not a problem. As mentioned already, you will stand up to see the view since the salt spray muckies up the regular glass anyway. We have same cabin 1290 (again!) on Freedom in December. Love it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
