LrgPizza Posted May 26, 2015 #26 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I've been booked on the angled balcony for my upcoming cruise. I just wanted to know how much bigger and more enjoyable it was to a regular balcony. I've looked at the pics that were posted and can not figure it out. I try different cabins all the time. Was just curious to this one. Thanks. Yeah, you can see how much bigger it is, but no one can answer for you how much more enjoyable it is, and I highly doubt you will be able to figure that out from looking at pictures. The enjoyment of it will be up to you once you are there. You can pay one price and get a tiny balcony, or you can pay the exact same price and get a not-as-tiny balcony. That's the decision. It doesn't come with entertainment or clowns or anything additional. It's simply more space. Enjoy it however you want.

I'm always trying to find a 'different' cabin each cruise. Last cruise I had two balconies and the cruise before that had no balcony but very big window in front of the living room and dining area.

mrobstad Posted June 8, 2015 #28 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have always looked longingly at the angled balconies cuz the appear twice the size. When I asked my PCC, he said they were handicapped. Personally, I'll try to get one from now on. And I think they have a chaise in addition to the 2 chairs and table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de2fan Posted June 9, 2015 #29 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I have stayed in an aft-facing angled balcony on the Breakaway (13236) and have the identical room booked on the Getaway for next May. The regular balconies are quite small and having the extra leg room was great. I'm not sure you could get a chaise lounger plus two chairs and the table to fit though. There was plenty of room for myself, my dh and two kids to hang out. We loved the location - close to the aft elevators and stairs. The only drawback was that you had to look around the divider to see forward, but we did not get any wind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebobby Posted June 9, 2015 #30 Share Posted June 9, 2015 has anyone actually experienced a lot of wind in a forward angled balcony ??? i have seen mentions of the possibility of the forward facing ones being windy but in all my searching i have not seen one person say "we stayed in a forward facing angled balcony and it was windy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted June 9, 2015 #31 Share Posted June 9, 2015 has anyone actually experienced a lot of wind in a forward angled balcony ??? i have seen mentions of the possibility of the forward facing ones being windy but in all my searching i have not seen one person say "we stayed in a forward facing angled balcony and it was windy" Ha! That's funny you ask. We had forward facing, and I didn't even think about or notice wind. After reading so many comments here about possibility of wind, I tried to remember, and couldn't. That must mean it wasn't an issue, since I can't even remember. I've noticed that people who have not been in one of these balconies like to offer that it might be windy. People who actually have been in one, report nothing of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebobby Posted June 9, 2015 #32 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Hi Lrgpizza Thanks for your comment I was booking the June 27th Getaway sailing a couple of weeks ago and found a good few mentions of "i went with aft angled as i've heard its windy on forward ones" but when i used the search function i couldnt find one person whos actually been in a forward one and said "its windy" ! In the end i went ahead and booked a mid ship forward facing angled balcony (the exact one pictured in here twice but on Getaway not Breakaway) and i shall report back here and let you know how I got on !

SunshineCruise Posted June 9, 2015 #33 Share Posted June 9, 2015 We are booked in a cabin with an angled balcony on the Epic. I am looking forward to it. It will be our first balcony cabin. This is our 4th cruise and we have always had oceanview with a big window but no balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gailnnels Posted July 14, 2018 #34 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Does anyone know if the cabin itself is larger or is it just the balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. H. Posted July 14, 2018 #35 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Cabin is the same size as the other, balcony is a little bigger because of the angle. I just looked up this angle balcony for you on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAHMto5 Posted July 14, 2018 #36 Share Posted July 14, 2018 We had one on the Escape and loved it! Really enjoyed having a lounger on the balcony to relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda the Book Lover Posted July 14, 2018 #37 Share Posted July 14, 2018 From the look of the balcony, I think a lounger and a chair plus table would fit. My DD and I have the spa angled balcony booked on the Getaway. If the angeled was in a minisuite we might have booked that but this cabin was a really great deal since we booked during the no government fee promo.

Mrs. H. Posted July 14, 2018 #38 Share Posted July 14, 2018 We had the spa cabin/angled balcony on the BA and it was ok. Not really that much bigger. I think we only had 2 chairs. The way it's angled you can't really lean over and look left but you can see all the people on their cabins on the right and the captain. I would have preferred the spa mini suite next door.

umpisoccer Posted July 14, 2018 #39 Share Posted July 14, 2018 We had a spa balcony 15250 on the Bliss and loved it. The staff even brought me a lounge chair to use. Ours also deflected the wind in Alaska. Great room Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernie968 Posted July 15, 2018 #41 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Let me see if I can remember how to add a photo. If it works these photos are from the Escape room 9300. It was a great balcony and the lounger was there when we first got to the room. I love the reflection photos. Too bad I was not dressed better. This was the view looking back. We found that we liked the lounger by the glass. We managed a few time to lay in the sun with the chairs like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

311lover Posted July 16, 2018 #43 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We have an angled balcony booked on deck 8 of the bliss, our PCC told me the balcony is 102 sq ft. That’s almost 3 times the size of a normal sized balcony room. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspiration100 Posted July 16, 2018 #44 Share Posted July 16, 2018 What is the default chair setup on the breakaway for angled balconies? Do they normally have a lounger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paf910 Posted August 3 #46 Share Posted August 3 Our last 3 back to back cruises on the Breakaway were angled balconies and they had 2 chairs and small table. There was enough room to remove one chair and fit a lounger if you wanted one.We’re booked on Getaway this December in same angled balcony and I’m going to request one from cabin steward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
