Duanerice1 Posted September 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ha. We love the overhang but we like shade. I can sit on my balcony anytime without worrying about it being too hot. And when it rains..... dry as a bone :) But, it's not for everyone. Of course we live in S Florida and get more than enough sun year round :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisiamc Posted September 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The overhang is one of the things I love about Aqua class. It is definitely shady, and you can sit on your balcony on a rainy day and stay dry, as Duanerice1 points out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lady Arwen Posted September 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Our absolute favourite deck for cabins is deck 9 ( M class) because of the overhang. I can sit out at anytime, anyday and be comfortable. Booked deck 9 on Infinity for next May in the Med. If offered an upgrade, it would have to be on deck 9!

cangelmd Posted September 10, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Where are you cruising? I'm another voice who appreciates the shady balcony. I don't think it makes the cabin too dark, especially not in the Caribbean where every bit of shade is helpful. It's not like the balcony is large enough for "real" sunbathing, but I guess it depends on how you want to use the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JoePDX Posted September 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I thought I would be bothered by it, but wasn't in the least. Appreciated the overhang for shade. We were on Millennium sailing from Shanghai to Seward. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cachouonacruise Posted September 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2018 We were in a deck nine cabin in Alaska and loved it, for reasons mentioned above: protection from rain and shade, thanks to the overhang. We are booked on deck 8 on the Constellation, Adriatic cruise; we would gladly take a deck 9 cabin if an upgrade was available. We do however have a de deck 9 booking on Millenium in Asia. Looking forward to it! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NantahalaCruiser Posted September 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Looking at Concierge Class #9084 but soooo hesitant that it will have a dark shaded balcony with the overhang ... Help? If you wish an AQ cabin without the overhang then you will need to either book an A2 on the forward portion of deck 9 or an A1 on deck 11 aft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcpa1 Posted September 11, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 11, 2018 To clarify....the deck 11 true afts have cover. The port and starboard deck 11 cabins have marginal cover thus more sunlight in the cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Lynn Posted September 11, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Okay - then moving to Aqua Class Deck 9!! So #9089 or #9125 :D Opinions? Motion sensitive so thinking #9125 maybe? Any downside to so close to the stairs and being next to a Handicapped cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cachouonacruise Posted September 11, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I don’t believe the stairs or handicapped cabin will be an issue. More experienced cruisers may have a more in depth opinion. The only suggestion I would have is to check what is located directly above the cabin, and try to assess if a certain noise level could result. If so, take in consideration the likelihood of noise versus your own schedule and potential impact. Cheers! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Lynn Posted September 11, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted September 11, 2018 SO many thanks! Pool area is above 9089 so I think 9125 might be best.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margr Posted September 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Looking at Concierge Class #9084 but soooo hesitant that it will have a dark shaded balcony with the overhang ... Help? I was in 9074 Aqua class on Constellation last May and just loved the overhang, am going again in a couple of weeks but this time on Millennium, not Aqua but still on 9.... just love the shade or shelter as there are plenty of other places to catch the sun.

We are booked in 9054 on Connie and hopeful it IS under the over-hang..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
