beachbev Posted September 1, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Any suggestions as to what balcony room to pick for our next cruise? I've never been on the Legend or Carnival cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkers22 Posted September 1, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Aft Cabin # 5299 or 5268. Our favorites! Extended balcony and great views! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLRN Posted September 1, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2008 We've got 2 extended balconies on the Verandah deck. We chose this deck instead of the Panorama because we didn't want to be right below the Lido, so we are 2 decks below. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Jay Posted September 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sleeps 4, though, so you if book less than that there's a chance you could get bumped out if they end up needing it for a party of 4. There are others with the same unusually long balcony, though -- maybe 7258? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted September 1, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Cabin 5236 is the top secret cabin. Classified as a 7A obstructed view, but the view is only obstructed straight down, and it is an extra long balcony, so you can actually look straight down from one section of the balcony. Plus you save money because of the "obstruction". Check out the deck plan. And don't tell anyone else. I have it booked for 12/09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMCowboy Posted September 1, 2008 #12 Share Posted September 1, 2008 we"re going to be in 7156. Anyone have thoughts on this one? it one of the two that are recessed from the line of others as the ship narrows/widens, etc. so to our left there isn't an immediate balcony next to us (its recessed behind us a bit). looks like it will feel more private. anyone have pics of the side of the ship (port side) showing this section? fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_duck Posted September 1, 2008 #14 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The disco on deck 2?:eek: That would be affirm. It wasn't very loud or anything, but it was there. Not enough to stop me booking it again, because the balcony: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwjax Posted September 1, 2008 #15 Share Posted September 1, 2008 7300 or 7349, anyone been in either of these two cabins. We have been debating doing a regular extended balcony, or an aft. Not having done either, how does the aft extended compare based on it's price difference? The secret long balconies, 5236, 6232 etc offer a long side view, would they be a better value? We just wanna have a place to put our feet up and watch the day (or night) go by...:) jw:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not that big of a secret and there are very few of them so they book EARLY! Sometimes 2 + :eek: years in advance. I had a list of them when I booked and each one I asked for was booked and the PVP explained the above to me. Then... she looked at 6232 and ... available!!! I took it!

mom2girls Posted September 1, 2008 #19 Share Posted September 1, 2008 We really enjoyed 8182. It was a category 8I with extended balcony. We never heard any noise in the hallway. I loved to sit out there and read on sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never been in a regular balcony cabin. Hope it isn't too much of a disappointment. Then again, I'm in a 1A in a few weeks, so if I can deal with that... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureenk Posted September 1, 2008 #21 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I have 6232 booked for February and am really excited! Does anyone know the dimensions of the balcony? It looks like it is 3X a regular balcony, so is it 36 feet long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the actual dimensions but it is 100 sq. ft. vs. 40 sq. ft. for a regular balcony!:D Enjoy!;) Lisa:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCCruiser05 Posted September 1, 2008 #24 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Any info about this balcony? We've never had a balcony before so we are looking forward to being in a cabin with a balcony. I book an interior since I've found I don't get seasick if I'm in a room without a window. When I had a window I would get sea sick and I wouldn't sleep much because I wanted to stay in the window looking out and seeing what was going on (most time it was just water) so I figure with a balcony I won't sleep for 7 days!!! I will enjoy 5179 no matter what but would like any info available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payd Posted September 2, 2008 #25 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That would be affirm. It wasn't very loud or anything, but it was there. Not enough to stop me booking it again, because the balcony: That will be a fabulous balcony for us. We have a balcony and interior across the hall booked - so this will be a nice outdoor space for us! Still odd about the bass from all the way on deck 2. I will definitely take ear plugs.
