Question About Jade Deck Plan

[texastennis]

I was looking at the deck plan for Deck 8 of the Jade and am wondering what the open squares located next to the stateroom number represent. The key does not say. A solid square is "accessible."

 

Does anyone know?

I didn't see any open squares. Can you give an example (stateroom number) of what you're talking about?

8018 is an example.

8018 is an example.

 

Using the NCL website...the symbol does not appear on Cruise Critic's deck plans.

That's a good question. The only guess I can come up with is it indicates a hull balcony.

I believe hull/cove (covered/protected) balcony is correct since that's what these balconies are.

That's what I thought, but I don't understand why the deck plan key doesn't say this. It seems like this is important information when trying to decide what kind of balcony to reserve. We know that not all balconies are created the same, and there may be those who will be surprised to know that these balconies are not as "open" as those which are "enclosed" or "hull."

 

Thanks for your responses.

Huh. I don't believe I had ever seen those squares before. But I'm inclined to agree; they must be cove balconies, and you'd figure they'd include that in the key.

The website that you have to pay to use shows those with the square listed a hull balconies. Looks like NCL uses the symbol without the definition. That other website has a footnote for the square.

In the cruise brochure the box is listed as PrivSea (partially enclosed balcony) so there is an explanation.

It means that it is an in hull balcony.
