FLASHINGLIGHTS83 Posted August 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Anyone have any pics of the Junior Suite #8686 on the Empress of the Seas? Just want to see the size of the balcony and the room since it is sideways on the ship layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalDiamond Posted August 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have searched and searched, but couldn't find any. But, we went ahead and booked JS 8686 anyway for Nov 7, as the balcony looks great, even if the cabin is small (they are ALL small on Empress).

cb at sea Posted August 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The balcony will definitely be larger than the JS's on deck 9....but you're right...the actual cabins are much smaller than the newer ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk2795 Posted August 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2016 We stayed in 8686 on our Empress cruise out of Philadelphia in August 2011. At that time, it was not classified as a junior suite.here are some pics of the cabin. Eileen Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk2795 Posted August 22, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Oops, just realized that I put the wrong date on my above post. The correct date is August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpeCerevisi Posted August 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I was in 8686 several years ago (2006), just after it was reclassified as a JS. As can be seen in the photos another poster has attached, it is about 18 feet across, which is the full length of the cabin. With the beds at one end of the cabin and the desk and dresser along the walls there was a lot of empty floor space. At the time the only inconvenience was occassional soot on the balcony. I just needed to make sure I wiped down the chairs before sitting down. I don't know if this is still an issue or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanaOS Posted February 5, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have searched and searched, but couldn't find any. But, we went ahead and booked JS 8686 anyway for Nov 7, as the balcony looks great, even if the cabin is small (they are ALL small on Empress). Peter I have booked JS 8686 for an Oct. cruise to Havana. I have seen conflicting information about this cabin. I know the aft balconies are bigger, but I have heard that the aft JS cabins are smaller and don't have a sitting area. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikingcruisers Posted September 25, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2017 And some more. Eileen Sent from my iPad using Forums Is that really an old 13" TV? In 2016, no flat panel? Is that true on all Empress cabins? I've got this cabin next year, love the pic's, Eileen.. thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
