palakika Posted May 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2021 We are booked in room 7018 on Insignia for the ATW 2022. It has come to my attention that the balcony on 7020, next door, has a solid piece across the balcony with railing on top. Apparently you can't just sit and watch the ocean go by. This arrangement isn't good for us as we spend lots of time on our balcony. We usually travel in the A category and have never run in to this before. Any info would be appreciated!! Thanks.

Francie it’s not so much A vs B as it is fore vs aft. Here’s an image of Insignia where you’ll notice the aft balcony cabins tend to have more open space at the rail.

Francie Where are you seeing this?? That cabin is an "A" or have you confused it with another cabin cat Most of the cabins have the railing as pictured above with dividers between the balconies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they had it confused with the aft Concierge cabins, which I believe do have solid metal up to the open area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not JK300 You will get some motion it just depends on how your body handles it we were in 7115 & you could feel the ship pitch n roll but just hang on to the railings Do not try to shower in high seas 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseaholic78 Posted May 14, 2021 #15 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I was wondering the same thing too when looking at the difference between some of the balcony cabins. This was the answer/photo I got. https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/1682474-azamara-journey-balcony-metal-plate/?do=findComment&comment=35159068 This was for Azamara but the cabins on the R ships are the same.

That was a cruise to Alaska and had only 1 day of rough weather. We did had some ship motion but it was not that bad, anyway not to us. I think you will like the 'room' and the balcony.

palakika Posted May 14, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted May 14, 2021 John.. thanks for your comments about rough weather. We have done a number of cruises on O and the roughest weather we had was in the Med out of Tunisia. The seas are very unpredictable which makes the whole cruising thing so much fun!!

Redtravel Posted May 17, 2021 #21 Share Posted May 17, 2021 We were in 7014. Also have been in 7026. We were very happy with the cabin. Location was forward, but not rocky. Being forward of the elevators, the hallway was very quiet. The small piece of solid wall on the balcony isn’t a problem. I would pick it without hesitation.
