Cruiseenthusiast101 Posted December 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I was thinking about booking the new junior suites on deck 11. I noticed that the balcony is 567 sq. Ft is this a typo? Also it says the room is 235 sq ft. Which seems incredibly small for a js? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2018 235 is more likely for the cabin size. Most standard cabins are about 160 sq. ft... What is the cabin number? If it's an AFT balcony, then yes, it might be larger than the cabin itself....but that seems extreme! But I looked at the deck plans...those 2 front facing JS's have HUMONGOUS balconies! I'd say that's about right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted December 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2018 We booked 1106 the Jr Suite that's forward. There's three of us and hoping the picture on the new deck plans are accurate. We're sooo looking forward to that huge balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfromtampa Posted December 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2018 We noticed the same thing. We were going to switch, but we couldn't get all of our group on the same deck. Looking forward to seeing pictures of them once done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny mas Posted January 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Please post some pics when you go on it. I booked on the 7/1 sailing in 1108 which i would think is just a bit larger than your stateroom but you have almost 100 sq ft more on the balcony if we go by the online diagram. Seems they might be the newer style decor on the interior. Both seem to be just a bit smaller than the general size of the the other JS around the ship though Edited January 1, 2019 by danny mas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JS have extra large balconies according to the deck plan. (Room may be a bit smaller but balcony would make up for it). Guess its the way they are on the forward corners.

jrljel Posted March 16, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2019 My sister also booked one of those JS on Deck 11 and we both thought that was a typo as well but don't think so once we looked at the plans. Hoping that someone will soon upload a picture of the balcony from one of those four staterooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted March 16, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I came running to this thread hoping that someone had finally posted some pics! LOL!!😂 The wait continues for new JS pics...9 weeks from today, I promise I'll post pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted March 16, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I have a hump JS on my November Navigator sailing ... would love to see pictures of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiierx131 Posted March 17, 2019 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2019 There might be better photos out there, but at least this kind of gives you an idea of the new balcony size on deck 11 forward. Credit to AdamsAway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripchick1963 Posted March 21, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I booked Cabin #1154 in June!! I would love to see some photos, or even better, some videos, of one of the 4 new cabins on deck 11 with the oversized balconies from someone what as actually stayed in one of them (#1106, 1108, 1155. 1156. Im wondering if the views are obstructed at all? It appears that way in some of the pictures I have seen? (Photos attached) The glass is taller than other balconies, im assuming because of wind) so there will be no "hanging on the railing" on these balconies. I would also love to see a video of the bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripchick1963 Posted March 27, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just FYI......Just found out that the 4 new Junior Suites on the 11th Deck do NOT have bathtubs, or walk in closets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted March 27, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I do NOT like the height of that glass. Huge balcony? Yes. However, you can get better open air views from a ton of other locations on the ship. I would not want to be looking through glass all the time. Just my opinion though.

Dan Yeah I was all ready to aim for these options but the tall glass may just make it feel closed in, regardless. Hoping for some first hand reports as those balconies sound great. Never had a JS so wouldn't know to miss the tub or closet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh, I loved on my last balcony on Indy that you can see water from the lower glass which helps those of us of average female height when we sit since our eye level tends to be at rail - this being the ship on the lower half makes it harder to feel like you're staring at the sea - at least for me. I'd love that large outdoor space though but think I may miss seeing the sea more! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripchick1963 Posted March 27, 2019 #21 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I canceled this room. Moved to a Hump Junior suite on Deck 9. This room got some bad reviews from someone who just stayed in it. There is no walk in closet, in fact it was a super tiny closet, and there is no bathtub. The two things I booked a suite for. They said the deck has no cover, so it was either super hot, or super windy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find the recent review? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you'll be happy there. We have 2 JS's on Navigator later this year...and selected them based on our TA detailed knowledge of the ship's layout and passenger reports. Since then, we've read yet more confirmations that mid-ship JS's are the way to go for most folks, nearly all coming with great reports.

Tripchick1963 Posted March 29, 2019 #25 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I spoke to someone who just got off a cruise and was staying in that cabin.
