Boudicca Terrace balcony cabins?

Hi All,

We've cruised on FO many times, but it is a while since we were on Boudicca. We've just booked a cruise summer 2018 and the only cabins available with balcony and bath (except suites) were these

terrace balconies which I understand have been added on the wider promenade decks recently.

Has anyone had any experience of these? We realise that privacy is limited on the balcony, but are they noisy first thing in the morning? Any other things to bear in mind?

Any comments gratefully received!

We were in one of these cabins last year. We didn't have a problem with privacy because we made sure that the net curtains were closed when we were inside! Of course this does obstruct the view somewhat. They can be noisy if people decide to stand outside and chat amongst themselves at unsocial hours, but we didn't find this a problem. The main problem we found is that, unlike a standard balcony cabin, if you want to use your balcony for admiring the view or spotting wildlife, you will probably find that there is a whole bunch of people standing in front of you doing the same thing, which makes it difficult to see anything. On the plus side, the cabins are a good size and you do get a couple of chairs and a table (but no sun lounger) on the balcony. We like the Boudicca and hope you enjoy your cruise - which one have you booked? :)

Hi,

Thanks for the info. The cabins sound OK. We booked one of these because all the normal balcony cabins were shower only. Bath cabins all had restricted views.

We've booked the 22nt Amalfi Coast at the end of next May. We should have some sitting out weather and views!
