ISABELLA Posted June 6 #1 Share Posted June 6 As much as we like S class ships, we are considering to try E class, but do not like concept of IV. What categories of balcony cabins have regular sliding doors? The only one I found are Sunset verandas. Please someone advise. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for some AQ cabins, since we enjoy Blu. Can someone confirm if Sunset verandas do have sliding doors and what type of door is in porthole veranda cabin?

IV is not a balcony.....It was a one and done for us on a recent cruise on the Ascent. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A porthole veranda - you step outside making it a true balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway180 Posted June 6 #8 Share Posted June 6 I stand corrected then. I was told by X that the only true balconies were SV and suites. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway180 Posted June 6 #9 Share Posted June 6 Although it is still not what i would consider a true balcony.......not even close. It's a room with a window basically.( but it does have a sliding door ) We enjoy our balconies too much, and as beautiful as the E class ships are, we primarily sail S class. Just our personal choice. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tljordan444 Posted June 6 #16 Share Posted June 6 The good news is that the new Celebrity Excel WILL HAVE some regular balconies that are not suites and not sunset. So book now I'm sure they will go fast!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbfb Posted June 6 #17 Share Posted June 6 We have stayed in a sunset veranda on Beyond. We chose that cabin for the same reasons you stated. It has a true balcony with sliding doors. The biggest cabin on celebrity we have had with the exception of suites. We love Blu too, unfortunately no AQ cabins with traditional balconies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted June 6 #18 Share Posted June 6 The decade old "it's a room with a window!! comments still come flying in. To answer the actual question, if you are not booking a suite your options are SV or the Porthole Veranda. Xcel will have four cabins with a traditional balcony that are neither SV or suites.

We just had something similar to a porthole veranda on new Sun Princess and it was fine. The door was not sliding, but just like a regular door, that would not stay open unless you put a chair to hold it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SV are wonderful--huge balconies, very traditional. Did love our SV on the Edge. Porthole--have not stayed in one but saw one on a cabin crawl. Not for us. VERY narrow balcony. The one we saw, you would not be able to turn the chairs toward balcony while sitting in them. I have had people say they could...perhaps they aren't a tall as us! Suites are great...but one & done for us unless we find an amazing deal. I'd rather sail more often. (amazing how many replies you have gotten in 4 hrs!!)
