philpcruiser Posted November 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2022 We are considering booking a QG Royal on QM2 to Canada next year. We are used to expansive balconies (PH on Celebrity Summit for example). Wondering if anyone can relate how they felt sailing without a balcony. It's not an itinerary with beautiful scenery. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted November 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I wouldn’t want to pay all that money and not have a balcony. And have to draw the blinds at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted November 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I have looked at that cabin closely and I don’t get it. The space seems very broken up and less expansive than other options. I would love to hear why people prefer it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely makes this a hard call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted November 9, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It’s a navigation issue on the blinds being drawn,,,not sure if you got that or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as in the Commodore Club the blinds have to be closed at night if the lights are on, to avoid affecting the bridge. Another thing is I imagine there is an awful lot of wind noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you are going with this. RCCL installed "Panoramic" suites (star class) on their Oasis OTS. The bedroom extends out over the bridge wings and has floor to ceiling windows, but no balcony. Living room has zero windows and looks very dark. This suite is usually available and the last to be booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
