I think it's only the cabin that is smaller, though I haven't actually stayed in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset cruise fan Posted September 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2022 We booked one of these by mistake, it was just the cabin that was smaller, less deep but the width remained the same so the balcony size remained the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case all decks are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bin man Posted September 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2022 No as an example starboard aft cabins 10701 to 10711 are bigger than the 10715 to 10737 and that is the same on portside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bin man Posted September 22, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 22, 2022 10704 is shown on ytube and eg of 10718 you can see its smaller by about 2.5 ft in width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted September 22, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) If by on the wave you mean aft facing there are 4 cabins on deck 10. I have 10745 next January and 10743 next door looks to have a slightly bigger balcony I wonder if they have fixed the problem of water splashing from the infinity pool down onto the aft cabins. Obviously a blatantly obvious design fault which should have been fixed by now. Imagine the conversation, you complain and they say sorry and we will move you to a balcony cabin on deck 8... I would go ballistic Edited September 22, 2022 by davecttr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bin man Posted September 22, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 22, 2022 No not aft facing actual port side and starboard side and as I listed in previous #12 link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny444 Posted September 22, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted September 22, 2022 There is a lot of discussion about differing sizes of cabins but has anyone actually stayed in one which when booking is classed as " smaller balcony cabins" and is it the cabin or balcony or both which is smaller ?

Bin man Posted September 22, 2022 #16 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Again only saying about aft section port and starboard cabins are about the same but the slightly larger balconies on 10 also run through mid aft and half the mid ship section but mid forward and forward are smaller balconies The aft section cabins port and starboard are slightly overlooked from above .A good example of the larger size is possibly compare to C deck on ventura and Azura and the smaller ones to B deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller balcony cabins are GZ and it is the cabin which is smaller than those adjacent not the balcony. you tube cabin on deck 8 Edited September 22, 2022 by Gettingwarmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on a short cruise they would be adequate but on longer cruises may be preferable to have a larger cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bin man Posted September 23, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 23, 2022 The cabin shown CZ grade deck 8 the balcony is larger than the deck 10 aft cabin The cabin will be the same .So if you take deck 8 cabin you will get the onlookers on the promenade deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methuselah55 Posted September 25, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 25, 2022 This site may be helpful. Iona Deck Plans, Layouts, Pictures, Videos (cruisedeckplans.com) We saw a number of different cabin/balcony styles whilst having a nosey around the Iona during disembarkation yesterday! Those on deck 8 were particularly surprising, right next to hot tubs and the promenade deck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
