Petoonya Posted July 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If I want to choose the minimum Breeze balcony category what would that be and if it's not the renovated portion any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petoonya Posted July 22, 2020 Author #2 Share Posted July 22, 2020 OK, found out what you already know. Can't step out on balcony so sticking with my S1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r&rd Posted July 22, 2020 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2020 You can “step out” onto the 12 inch balcony - but nothing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted July 23, 2020 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2020 S1 or any cabin with bed near the bathroom is my choice. Ships are small. They rock and roll often. More than once, I had a hard time walking to the bathroom when the seas were rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel the French balcony adds value? [$1,200 per person on an 8 day cruise] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r&rd Posted July 23, 2020 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Depends on the itinerary. If it’s port intensive or a cold itinerary probably not. On sea days I enjoy the breeze of opening the door or if there are a lot of things to see it’s nice to step out because you can see up to the front of the ship and towards the back. We’ve been given it as an upgrade several times and enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[$1,200 per person on an 8 day cruise] We have done Alaska twice on the Legend and were so pleased that we had the French balcony. Some of my best photographs were taken from the balcony.

ellbon Posted August 12, 2020 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I did the old Legwnd was good for the breeze coming in and sunset pictures. Was booked on Breeze and switch to legend for fall 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r&rd Posted August 13, 2020 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Another consideration now a day is if you end up getting quarantined on a ship and have to stay in your cabin would you want a balcony door you can open? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my reasoning too. On Silversea we always booked the Vista cabin (no balcony) but I will never do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemPuck Posted August 16, 2020 #13 Share Posted August 16, 2020 We had a balcony on the Breeze for an Aruba to Costa Rica trip in December 2018. Our original booking was for a standard room but we were able to take advantage of a price drop to change rooms and save money at the same time. There was enough room to stand on the little ledge. It was even possible to somewhat sit, wedged into a corner, if one wanted. I enjoyed opening the doors every evening to watch the seas as we were getting ready for bed and again to watch our arrivals into port or anchorage. We were supposed to have been on the Breeze this summer in Alaska and I’d also booked a balcony, even with knowledge of cooler, wetter weather. The ability to step out, even by a foot, was important. (For reference, we selected an original layout with the sitting area by the balcony. )Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
