SNEEGLE Posted March 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Here is the best photo I have found of the decks on the side of the ship. Note that this is during the reno so they are not quite done. For more comments/pics, check out the thread http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1586311 Thanks to Boog for posting the photo back in December.

SNEEGLE Posted March 9, 2012 Author #2 Share Posted March 9, 2012 "The aft balconies are "shaping" up like this. I extended the balconies on cabins 1138, 1140, and 1141 based on the pics I've seen so far. I did an overlay of deck 11 and deck 10. Not to scale, of course." Credit to Mr. Julius - awesome job!

gymjudge55 Posted March 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2012 We are booked on the Millennium to Alaska with 2 rooms on the port side nearer the middle, 1113 and 1111. I have found out that we can open the balcony door between the rooms, good. And that smoking is on the port side of the bar underneath, bad. I am hoping we are far enough away from aft to be bothered by the smoke. I have also heard that there is more motion up there, for anyone who has been to Alaska and the inside passage, will this be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wonderful photo (thanks so much to op) on post #3 above depicts the first and second stateroom balconies most likely to be impacted by smoke from aft bar port side (which is why I switched out of 1139) however yours are the 10th and 11th balconies away from that location so I would doubt that any smoke from aft bar would reach you there..a bigger concern might be from smoke and/or soot from the ships chimney above:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymjudge55 Posted March 9, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Oh gosh I hope not! Our friend is really bothered by cigarette/cigar smoke so we were hoping we were far enough forward to avoid this, now new worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe you will be able to open the balcony dividers on the Millie. That is only on the "S" Class ships. The "M" Class ships have different dividers between staterooms, and you cannot open them. From the photo posted, it looks like the dividers for the new cabins are still the same as all "M" Class, and they do not open. :( As for the smoke from the aft bar, you should not be bothered at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jziglar Posted April 6, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We are booked for cabin 1139 for next week's sailing, which is the aft most cabin that faces to port. Does anyone have photos of the actual balconies? I am trying to get an idea as to how big it is (62sqft?) and how the chairs/table are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 1100 balcony http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=32648890&postcount=100 Post #3 above shows a great photo of your balcony and its proximity to the aft bar smoking area..if thats a factor And post #1above shows the relative size of these side aqua 11 balconies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDR S Posted August 31, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I appreciate the photo. I am booked in March to go 15 nights on infinity and have been angsting over cabins. I prefer the conciege class to be sandwiched between cabin decks but our travel companions booked aqua class. I upgraded a second from deck 9 to 11 to avoid being directly under the pool with the unquestionable noise factor plus large overhang everyone on cruise critic has made clear is a mistake. I could care less about Blu or the fru fru room amenities but unless I get aqua class we cannot dine with the other couple. Your pic gives me hope. I like the little overhang which provides privacy, hopefully noise from below won't be too bad. I am confirned in 11028, three cabins down from the aft lounge. thanks again!

Foster Smith Severna Park MD We were in 1128 on the Summit on our recent cruise..and LOVED it.. ( smaller balcony than we are used to..but the location and newly constructed cabin more than make up for it..and don't undestimate the value of Blu..one nite's dinner with non-aqua travel companions...and I NEVER SET FOOT IN THE MDR :eek:AGAIN!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
