breezy_carol Posted March 8, 2017 #76 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Well geez, for years I've apparently had the wrong impression as to why they call certain balconies "hump" balconies. I guess if Royal's going to name them, you might as well use them for their intended purpose.:') Note to file: wash balcony table upon embarkation ;pA very informative thread.

Spacecaydet Posted March 8, 2017 #77 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Definitely possible. We took an Allure cruise June 2014 our little guy was born April 2015. Did the balcony on one of allure's standard ocean view cabin have anything to do with it? Maybe not but then again maybe... Be smart be quiet nobody will bother you. And yes there's a chance that ship cameras can see. If a nosey neighbor stretches their neck around the partition that's their issue not yours.

kmorg1234 Posted March 8, 2017 #78 Share Posted March 8, 2017 It's your vacation- enjoy it any way you would like! Personally I do what I like on "my balcony" (mostly sunbathing in alternative swimsuits), and if others insist on "watching out for me so that I don't get too much sun," then I just ignore them. I also enjoy sleeping out on the balcony in the Caribbean breeze, and I've never been bothered. I feel that as long as I am not annoying or judging anyone else, why should they bother or judge me?

Barry ATL Posted March 8, 2017 #80 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have not had this much fun reading a thread in a long time. I will say that it is very romantic looking out over the open ocean and at 3 or 4 AM it is very very quiet.... and is about as private as it gets. Not that I have every thought about it, BUUUTTTT you might think about moving the furniture to one side and put some towels down on the deck. Furniture can be noisey. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigque Posted March 8, 2017 #81 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've posted this story on another one of these threads, but we had a corner aft on Adventure last year, and the beautiful scenery leaving St. Thomas "inspired" us. I guess you could say we "tipped" the pilot boat for safely guiding us out of the port. Enjoy your balcony, and respect the cabins around you. If someone is despirate enough to catch a glimpse...oh well Wow! I'm impressed! You know I got a picture right????? LOL! :cool: What's up??????

You can blackmail me with that picture all you want. I wear my balcony club pin loud and proud. We are taking the kids on the Freedom in a month, so the balcony "use" will be limited this trip;p I hope all is well with you and the Mrs. Hopefully we cruise together again someday!

teginlee Posted July 26, 2017 #84 Share Posted July 26, 2017 We have every intention of joining the BC on our first RC cruise in September. If I heard another couple attempting I would honestly just smile and give them their privacy. It's always nice to know people are enjoying themselves and making the most out of their vacation lol. As for lack of privacy, if anyone happens to catch a peek, well, that's why we work out lol, to not be embarrassed haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dathy Posted July 27, 2017 #86 Share Posted July 27, 2017 In the travel business, a private balcony simply means that you do not have to share the balcony with another traveler. Cruise ships have cameras. Plenty of cameras. Nothing else to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted July 27, 2017 #87 Share Posted July 27, 2017 My husband and I have booked a junior suite on the Allure for a cruise this summer. It will be our 1st cruise and we will be celebrating our 15th anniversary. We are rather conservative and modest but without sharing too much, we also enjoy our private time with each other very much. We will have a week without our three children and have a desire to have fun and enjoy the late night view, sounds, and scents of the open ocean together. This would check an item off or our "to do" list, however, while we want to enjoy our access to the balcony we prefer for others not to be part of our time together. Again, no need for details, but are the private balconies private enough for us to enjoy a intimate interlude without fear of prying eyes? Your bedroom is very private !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyL128 Posted July 27, 2017 #88 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Those cameras, at least on Oasis class ships, cannot see into most balconies. If you are mid-ship or further back, they are fairly private. Otherwise, we would have been in camera a few times. LOL.

Lmm79 Posted July 27, 2017 #89 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I love this thread. We will probably have to resort to extra curricular activities on our balcony due to our 8 year old being in the room. [emoji483] to hoping you (and we) get a little balcony privacy lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums I thought that was what the kids club was for ;p Mom and dad get some alone time.

Cruise ships have cameras. Plenty of cameras. Nothing else to say. They see down the side of the ship, not into the balconies. I'm sure the crew has seen plenty of people staring longingly at the sea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyStar Posted August 18, 2017 #95 Share Posted August 18, 2017 On our East Caribbean cruise last year, as an early riser, I was enjoying the sunrise and a cup of coffee on our balcony. The couple next door had left their balcony door open and were very vocal. I blushed but laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
