Picking a Balcony on Breakaway

[cruiselovwe]

I was offered 9878 and 10880. When I look at the deck plan balcony of 9878 seems to be on an angle and very small. Would like to have bed near patio door. A little worried about Deck 9 being right over Waterfront for noise and smoking. Hoping to hear your opinions.

My brother and his wife were on deck nine over the waterfront and could not leave their balcony door open due to the loud music (some smoke also). We were more forward on deck eleven and had no noise. Hope that helps.

8738 has a very large balcony being on the curve of the ship, and the bed is beside the balcony door.

The only way I can help is that I was in 10908~~a balcony~~ the bed near the closet and Yes noise but it does not bother me~~my neighbors and Spica H20 but half the time I was at the dance parties anyway!:)

ETA; Did you know this prior to boarding?

 

Yes. This is a "secret" large balcony due to the incorrect deckplans and whatnot. The plans don't show this cabin with an angled balcony, nor 8740, albeit with a smaller angled balcony. 9736 above 8738 similar too.

No, the deck plans show a regular balcony. When we got in there, wowza. Huge. You could sit 8 people out there.

I don't know if the deck plans are the same on each deck, but we are booked in 12880 and we were told the bed is by the balcony.

I am booked in 8738 on the Getaway. Do you think that the layout would be the same as they are sister ships? Balcony size and bed placement?

I am not sure when you are cruising, but I just figured I'd point out that for our cruise in July, the aft balconies are only $40 per person more than the regular balconies. We just booked a few days ago, 9318, and from what I have read here on CC, the balcony is 158 square feet. Also, the bed is by the balcony. As of the other day, 9818 was still available and is an identical cabin to what we booked. Just sayin' :)

I was in Cabin 9878 and loved it. No noise or smoke problem, Enjoyed the angled balcony. The bed is not near the balcony like I wanted but it was still great. Loved it so much we have booked our cruise to Bermuda in the same cabin
