wardwhitty Posted January 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hello, We are sailing on the Celebration and have cabin 12517, which is an aft facing extended handicap balcony. I have never stayed in this type of cabin. Has anyone had experience with this cabin type? I believe the comparable room on the Mardi Gras would be 12505.

Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted January 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2023 We were in an aft-facing extended balcony on the Mardi Gras, deck 10. The size of the balcony was fantastic and we loved the view. What we didn't like was the complete lack of breeze, zero shade, and oppressive heat. It was impossible to sit on the balcony during the day without feeling like we were going to burst into flames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking right now at booking this similar cabin on Celebration deck 14, actually have a hold on 14529 right now. We actually don't spend a ton of time on the balcony, so only mildly concerned. What month were you cruising? It would be for February 2024, so I'm thinking it wouldn't be too bad, but wondering when you went - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of breeze will still apply but the lower temperature should help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted January 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2023 We had a corner aft balcony suite on the mardi gras and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted January 7, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I had an aft extended balcony on deck 11 on Mardi Gras and loved it. Love all aft extended balconies and will get them every time they aren't Havana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you get plenty of breeze out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
