imcpa Posted October 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2013 My wife & I are considering booking a veranda 1 suite (front suites on deck 5). However, when looking at a picture of the ship, it appears many of those suites have an obstructed view due to the white portion of the ship structure. Does anyone know if this is the case?

spuds Posted October 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hi, we have never sailed SS - our first time will be May 2014... when I booked our suite I thought the same thing... so to be on the safe side we booked a Verandah 2 suite. Our TA recommended that as well... actually she recommended Verandah 3 as it's on the same level as Verandah 2 (6th level) but more in the centre, we do not get motion sick so we are OK being a bit forward for a bit less $$.

fizzy Posted October 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We had deck 5, 2nd cabin from the front, starboard. I loved it. The balcony was exactly the same and it was very quiet all the way down the end, even with a large noisy group on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imcpa Posted October 24, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks fizzy. Was the view from your suite staring out the balcony obstructed at all by the white portion of the ship's structure that is not on decks above deck 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlemichael Posted October 24, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've had 511 on Silver Spirit and was not troubled by the structure. You could certainly see it but we felt it framed the view and it made it feel more private. No problems for us and we'd take the same suite again.

fizzy Posted October 24, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I think that if I were standing on shore and looking at the ship I would see no difference whatsoever re: the regular balcony cabins. I believe they are all the same and great location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Do you happen to have a picture of the balcony for room 511? We are in that room in April, just curious about the 'structure' Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imcpa Posted October 27, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I think we are leaning to a veranda suite 2 on deck 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
