Mrsjones0202 Posted February 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My DH and I just upgraded to a balcony GTY from an inside. This is our first balcony and we are really excited. I was just wondering is there any perk beside the actual balcony- which I am still so happy about? Thanks for any help in advance.

meatball_nyc Posted February 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The beauty of having a balcony. You feel closer to the ocean and can sit outside with coffee or wine and cheese. It's your own private place to chill out. That's just my take on it. I won't cruise without one. ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVLady3 Posted February 14, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Compimentary NCL robes should be hanging in your closet for your use during the cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatJim Posted February 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We like to leave the balcony door slightly ajar overnight, so we can go to sleep to the sound of waves breaking against the ship. Very soothing--so different from the usual NYC overnight traffic noise--and a constant happy reminder that we're on a SHIP!!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingnut Posted February 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I just love the balcony and to leave the sliding doors open at night to hear the waves~~I am in heaven~~I have taken one ocean view cabin but that was five nights so I dealt with it~~always a mini-suite or balcony! Happy Sailing!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbritton81 Posted February 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Just got off the Gem today. Had Balcony room 10126 and I had no robes hanging in my closet. Oh well no complaints from the me. The balcony was a wonderful escape no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balcony was a wonderful escape no matter what. I was also in a balcony stateroom on the Gem last month. No robes in our closet. (But no complaints either; probably would have never used them. I was very comfortable.) I checked the NCL website to see how their accommodations are described. It only mentions bathrobes for suites and above, not for mini-suites, balcony and lower. Maybe this is a recent change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a balcony cabin on the Gem a couple of years ago, and there were no robes. I also believe the robes are only in suites and higher.

NH Cruisers Posted February 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted February 17, 2014 We had robes last June on the GEM, but we requested them online prior. Another perk. Ring room service and eat out on your own private balcony. You wont have to worry about sleeping in too late due to pitch blackness of an inside.
