madmedic Posted June 15 #1 Share Posted June 15 So the hammock looks great but the chairs look very uncomfortable for the person who draws the short straw. Has anyone got any tips for making the most of the seating apart from squeezing two of us on the hammock? 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon81uk Posted June 15 #2 Share Posted June 15 Honestly I’d use the seating if you order room service and want to sit and eat or have drinks, but if you want to lie down and relax it’s better just to head to deck 16 and find a lounger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted June 15 #3 Share Posted June 15 We never really use the seats on the balcony other than the hammock. I do find the table useful when in the hammock--put my glass of tea and book there when not in use. The new ship will have some sea terraces with 2 hammocks.

As the lifeboats are closer in to the ship for the Panama Canal, most of deck 8 now has slightly smaller balconies, it’s those smaller ones that have two hammocks. It’s not clear if they are still limited view like the other ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmedic Posted June 19 Author #11 Share Posted June 19 Another question for the sea terrace. How much space is there under the bed to store suitcases? About 4 weeks to go before our first VV cruise and wondering if we need to buy smaller cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking into account that suitcase dimensions can vary somewhat even in the same "size" case, generally, we have found that carry-on luggage fits without a problem. Full sized luggage can be more of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we found a cut out by the closet that would hold a suitcase. There is also a HUGE drawer that will be under the L bed if you separate them that can hold anything that won't fit in the closet (we did 15 nights and still had enough storage). Sometimes the host uses this for bedding if you split the bed, but even then it is so big that there is additional room for "stuff." However....it is low to the floor, so not the most friendly on your back when getting stuff in or out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
