challahmom Posted February 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Will someone describe the pluses and minuses of the Celebrity Beyond verandah staterooms with a porthole. Are these rooms exempt from the loud noises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these rooms exempt from the loud noises? We have a DPV booked on the Apex. The plus for us, it's more the traditional type of balcony compared to the IV, but not compared to the sunset balcony staterooms. No balcony is going to be noise free, fleetwide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Miaminice Posted February 13, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The minus is that these staterooms are dark, view blocked, the balcony tiny and you can just sit sideways on it because they are so narrow. We had a PO booked and declined a free “upgrade” to a porthole veranda on Edge. Enjoyed the PO as a good and less expensive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted February 13, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Mine didn’t seem especially dark. I appreciated being able to open the sliding glass door for fresh air and not having the room air conditioning turned off and I also liked the standard black out curtains rather than the rollup shade 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montythecat Posted February 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Two Apex cruises, two porthole balconies. One towards the front and one towards the rear end of the ship. Nothing about them we didn’t like. We had fresh air whenever we wanted it and the balcony was large enough. They are the only cabins we would consider booking in our general price range on an Edge Class ship. There was no creaking as has been reported on Beyond. It is a bit of a hike to the lifts but it helps keep us fit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlover5 Posted February 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Just got off Apex and we loved it. Window is huge. Loved we could have door open. Curtains were great black out ones. My hubby and I will definitely book them again. Ours had no obstruction and we could turn the chairs on a nice angle to see out.
