Balcony Cabin with Metal Balustrade?

[klmxt4]

We booked a particular balcony cabin because the balcony is a bit bigger than the other options in that category, but then I realized that it is showing as having a "metal balustrade." I can't find any images online of what that looks like. Trying to figure out if our view will be obstructed. We haven't paid our final payment just yet, so I can call and switch. Any recommendations?? It's the MSC Meraviglia, Cabin 11257.

I think they're referring to the support beams for the upper deck. (see attached pic).

No, it is not the supports.  There is a solid steel feature that slants up the aft side and the last two cabins on deck 11 are affected.  Pics have been posted previously on other threads.  EM

This is the aft portion of Meraviglia.  Note the white balcony fronts on the last two cabins on several decks.  Tis is the obstruction, and is noted on the deck plans as a gray balcony, as opposed to white, and the cabins are classified as Bella for this reason.

 

 

Likely the balcony will look like this, instead of a plexiglas front

We once had one Balcony with No glass.

it s a problem when you are sitting and  then the view is bad. But you Can live

with it if it s not possible to chance.

Good info to know, thank you.

Thanks for the info/photos! Since we booked fairly close to sailing, it was down to this style balcony or a few cabins with smaller balconies with glass railings, directly across from the elevators, so we stuck with this one, lol. It would be nice to see the water from bed, but that's fine. I'm excited to have breakfast on the balcony! 😁
