We sail on Sept 30 in an S1 corner aft. Booked in the very beginning with high expectations only to be disappointed when we saw the finished product. The veranda furniture on the SS balconies is the same as every other balcony and, to me, should be better considering the price paid for the SS. We, like others, enjoy spending time relaxing on our balcony.

Good Luck! Hoping there are changes. Please let us know.

Thanks Paul for the great review with pictures of your Edge cruise. We board on Sept 30 in Civitavecchia. I've booked Fine Cut for that night as it's DH birthday. I'm hoping it's good and that we're able to keep our 6:30 dining time. Time will tell on that. We're in an aft S1 on deck 9. Hoping by the time we cruise there is better furniture on the balcony. I was surprised to see that all balcony cabins, no matter what the category (except higher suites) have the same furniture. At least there should be a bigger, taller table so you can have breakfast outside.

Ovation has never sailed in the US. Her previous sailings have all been in Asia.

Thanks....looking at Marriott properties too.

We are also on Jewel from Rome to Dubai November 30. Just booked it yesterday so lots of planning and research to do. We will stay 1 nt post cruise in Dubai and would appreciate any recommendations on a good area to stay in Dubai. Also any private tour recommendations are appreciated. Look forward to meeting you onboard and appreciate your reviews and information.

So true. Hoping by the time we sail EDGE in an aft SS there is a decent table and chairs on the balcony.

Thanks for the SS.

We cruised b2b on Azamara as RCI Pinnacle members. We are Discoverer level for Azamara and Zenith on Celebrity. Loyalty for D+ and Pinnacle on RCI does not carry over on either Azamara or Celebrity above Diamond level. We had a wonderful cruise and were treated very well.

Agree with what you've said. Was hoping to have breakfast or may a dinner on the balcony but with the current furniture that's impossible. A taller, larger table would be nice.....and not hard to supply.

One can always hope.

Plenty of room for a lounger and taller table. Hope they'll be adding them soon.

Good to know. We're in 9305 in September.

Me too....we have an aft S1 in September.

Wish the table was movable like on RCI ships so it could be used for in cabin dining. The Tom Tom is ridiculously small and no more than a footstool or, with the top flipped, a tiny table. Also need to add a lounger, footstools and taller table to the balconies on Sky Suites.
