gcdogwalker Posted May 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Can anyone tell me about a hull balcony on the Dawn. It is near the front of the ship. Could this be an obstructed view? Cabin 8528. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted May 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) We had a deck 8 'hull' balcony on the Dawn a while back. It has a bit of metal running around the balcony opening but we honestly loved it. No obstructions, you should be fine :) .

triptolemus Posted May 5, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Here is cabin 8032 on the Dawn. 8528 will be on the other side (port) of the ship, in about the same location. You can see how it is somewhat enclosed compared to the balconies above it. I wouldn't really call it "obstructed view" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted May 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) That metal framing in the pic actually can help you find a nice shady spot to sit if the sun is blasting in. I need to check my cabin #. nope 8518 prob 5 doors away Edited May 5, 2015 by mbisson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted May 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Lordy I hope this works. I'm now posting from my wifes computer as that's where the cruise photos are. I hope this doesn't turn into a giant picture as I don't know how to scale them on this 'puter...but here's a photo taken looking from the door out onto the balcony. I thought there were others, but this is the only one I can locate. Hopefully it will give you the idea Edited May 5, 2015 by mbisson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorkChopKid Posted May 6, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We booked a balcony GTY several years ago and were assigned cabin 10010 on an 10/10/2010 cruise. Frankly, we loved what we've heard people also refer to as a "cove balcony"... always had some shade and kept us protected from wind. Also had a great view of the captain as he maneuvered the ship.

mbisson Posted May 6, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We liked our 'cove' enough that we'll be requesting them in the future ('cept when we can get a B1 Aft balcony :) ) We booked a balcony GTY several years ago and were assigned cabin 10010 on an 10/10/2010 cruise.

gcdogwalker Posted May 6, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks for all the info on my hull balcony. We're in a guarantee balcony and were wondering if we should choose something else. I think, unless we get offered an upgrade,, we'll keep this cabin. Thanks mbisson your picture came out beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachMartini Posted May 26, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Does anyone know the location of these cabins on the Dawn? Does a list by cabin number exist? Or does NCL indicate it anywhere in the cabin description that I'm just not seeing? Considering upgrading to a balcony on our upcoming cruise and if like to know which type of balcony we'd have. Not doing a guarantee, there are several family balcony cabins available. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachMartini Posted May 26, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ah, is this was PrivaSEA refers to? A partially enclosed balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
