Miracle Aft Balcony Overhead Coverage

[Sun Lakes Cruiser]

We are considering a Miracle Aft facing balcony but wondered if there is adequate overhead coverage? Done 19 cruises, but never Carnival...Don't want 100% sun with no coverage....anyone done an aft balcony on Miracle and if so, any advice???? Thanks sooooooo much!!!

We have done 23 days on the Miracle and all in Aft Ext cabins and loved it! It does depend on the direction of the ship of course but we never felt baked on the balcony. We have always been on deck 8 right below the Lido and never had any issues with too much sun. It's nice having a lounge chair and a regular chair to sit and relax and read.

Does it get a decent amount of breeze?

Deck 4 has the most coverage (100%'ish) and the railing is nearly verticle giving you full use. If you can swing it, get a VS (4228 or 4237).

But did it have overhead coverage? You didn't say yes or no... Thanks!

the best balcony on this class of ship is a side one-- 6232 is for 3/4 people and 7258 and 8232 is for two people.
