    Here is a picture of our IV balcony on The Edge 9 September 2019.  I think you can see the doors have frosted glass.  We kept them open and brought down the blind half way overnight.  We do not mind awaking to light however.

     Much to our surprise, we loved the IV!  The privacy between cabins is greatly improved with no chance of faces appearing around the balcony dividers.   The area does make the cabin feel larger and we made good use of it.

    just wondering I heard they turn Air condition when balcony door open. So do they turn air conditioning off when leave the door open?

  3. I had an opportunity to do a

    2 weeks cruise. 6 nights on Horizon to West Carribean and 7 nights on Symphony of Seato West Carribean. Here are some differences and similarities I noticed:

    1. Both ships are newest ships at moment of this post. So they updated their technologies. Both ships have excellent WiFi connections. 

    2. Embarkation process were efficient for both ships. I got on ships by 1130a. RCL’s new terminal was very pretty. However, they scream at Lyft driver for him to move. No porter offer to take my bags. So I ended up take my own bags. At Carnival, a porter introduce himself and took my bags as soon I got out of the car. 

    3. I have an interior room on both ships. At Carnival my room locate 8 after. In Royal, my room locate at 10 mid at Royal. However, I much prefer I much prefer the room in Royal because it has more spaces for me as a solo to place my stuff. The shower had a shower door instead curtain. Additionally, I love the virtual balcony in the room. It kept me informed. 

    3.  Packages - I purchased drink and internet packages for both weeks. I think internet in both cruises were excellent. I was able to watch you tube videos. However, it took sometimes to uploaded video to social media. Drink packages: I prefer Royal’s delux package over carnival cheer package.  Royal’s packages include fresh fruit juices. Carnival: you have to go to bar to get a can of soda  and wait 5 min between each non alcohol bevage (the line to coffee could be very long) Royal has free style machines throughout the ships so you can get when you want. I love the juice bar on Royal ships. Oh on Royal, I just give my card to server. The server just ran my card and give the card d to me when I have drink.  On Carnival i get a receipt with space for extra tip each time I order the drink. 

    4. Royal offer an unlimited photo package which I lloved. I have to purchase photos individually at Carnival. But Carnival have more opportunities for fun photos

    5. I think Royal have better shows than Carnival. However, I dislike Royal’s reservation system.  

    6. The foods for both lines are pretty similar.

  5. Please talk to me about Jade. I was looking at a transatlantic Cruises on Break Away in April. But also find another TA Cruise on Jade. The ports are almost identical. Jade is one extra day. The price is about the same for both (I can get mini suite on Jade and Balcony on BA). I like spa on breakaway so much better. However, the date for Jade is better for me. My boss is most likely approve dates for Jade (one week in April and one week in May). And since Jade TA is distinctive Voyage. I seemed get more perk for Jade. Little about me, I am in my 40’s and would travel solo. Please convince me about Jade.

  6. I am think booking a transatlantic Cruises on break away in April as solo. However, the price seemed better for balcony than studio. My question is can i still use the common area in solo studio if I have balcony? Can I still participate in solar get together?

  7. Thanks everyone for the feedbacks. I am not worry about cold. I kinder like colder weather. I just dont like to deal with crows. I also worry about attractions close. But i will stick with ship excursions and indoor museums possibly

  8. I like to plan an European Cruise in December. I am looking at Norwegian Epic 10 days West Mediterranean 12-9 to 12 19. Board ship from Spain and travel various ports in Italy. This itinerary has 4 sea days. From what i learn , European cruise is port intensive, so i think a few sea days is not a bad idea. I am looking at book a studio cabin. I live in Florida so i am planning to arrive at Spain a day earlier and leave one day after cruise. Here is my question is December a good time travel to West Mediterranean? What is advantage and disadvantages travel to Europe at this time? Thanks for the feedback
