I would prefer to have the extended balcony and choose B3 deck 7 aft on all 4 of the O cruises(3 on Marina, 1 on Riviera) I have been on. The vibration is only bad when docking and setting sail. It’s a good alarm clock in the morning and I’m usually not in my cabin when setting sail.

I’m about to book a B3 deck 7 on Marina for Oslo to London. My first cruise ever. How early is docking? Do you have any pic of the extended balcony you’re willing to post? It seems odd number cabins are more popular for the orientation to views on this sailing, and the best available was in the aft section.

Here you go (post #5):

 

I searched the forum using "extended" then scrolled until I saw images on the second page of hits. You can probably find more with the same search if you like.

Next week? A little late to ask or worry now. Just enjoy the cruise.

Does anyone have a picture of the extended verandas on deck 7 of the Marina? Specifically wondering if they have glass or solid railings. We don't mind the vibration, but we want the view. Thank you for your comments.

This is on Riviera but the balconies are identical.

The 2 sided balcony was great - lots of room with 2 loungers, small table and chairs. Marina 7111 in Nov

Our friends have the cabin next to us. do the veranda doors open to allow us to visit with each other?

We were in 7123, a PH2 on the Vista which is two cabins from the end, aft.  Fabulous balcony. No issues with vibration or motion- seas were very calm. 
    We take the PH1- all the way aft on Marina or Riviera when we can get them- 7135 or 7130. Sometimes some creaking, but not much difference in motion.

Most likely. I am in 6090 on Regatta AFT. It is such a great balcony especially for Alaska. I just tune out any noise. Usually only entering or leaving a port

Our favorite cabin

I just got off Riviera, room 7131 with extended veranda.  There were regular metal railings, exactly like the picture above by See More. Furniture was the same. I had to remember when I went out that people above could see me if I went to the railing, but that was no big deal.  The room was noisy due to thrusting in a few ports when docking (Asian ports) but it didn't bother us.

I didn't ask or try, but I think the answer is yes.  But I think you have to ask your room steward to unlock them.

I went all the way up the ladder to Dominique Nicolle to have the end portion of veranda opened so my friends next cabin could come over.  The answer was NO.  Don't know if they have had a change of mind.

I think it depends upon the itinerary as we have been able to have door opened on some ships/itineraries but not on others...just my thought

Since the partitions are for slowing the spread of fire, a GM probably must give way to the decisions of the Safety Officer or Captain…

We were told it could be done, but only while in port.  While the ship was moving, the "door" between balconies had to be closed.
