with the added room on the balcony do you get lounge chairs or just the 2 chairs and a table. ( i think i read thats on the balcony.) if its just regualr chairs do you think i can bribe the steward to grab me a lounge chair? (i only need 1) i want to milk the extended balcony for all its worth. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I've had an extended balcony twice on the Spirit. Frankly, if it's extended I wonder what the regular balconies look like.(I've never had one of those). My balconies had 1 chair, 1 table, & 1 what I'd call semi-lounger. I propped my feet on the table. Please believe me, I'm not griping. It was a balcony & it was WONDERFUL. I'm pretty sure there would be no problem asking your room steward to get you a regular lounger, but I don't think there would be room enough for more than 1.

There was plenty of room on the aft balconies on the Triumph. We had one regular chair, one "semi-lounger" and a small table.

There was definitely room for a couple more chairs, full loungers would have fit with no problem.

My steward did get us a lounger along with two chairs and a table. It was very tight but really enjoyed the lounger to read while laying in the sun.

We had an 8I extended balcony on the Legend. It came with two chairs described above and a small table. I tipped the steward, Andy, to get me a lounger from the Lido deck and it fit in fine.

love the privacy of the extended balcony we had on the Legend, I used to sit out there and sun (on one of the semi loungers (we had 2) topless. No strap marks! This time around we only have a ocean view, but, hoping for that elusive upgrade! Have a great time

Fran,
Question for you.
Is there little "extenders" that go from the top of the balcony on up to prevent people from peeking around at the next balcony?
I saw them on a Spirit video but someone who was on the Legend said they didn't have them.
