clearandsunny Posted January 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I am so excited. I will be leaving on the Norwegian escape in 10 days and will be staying in a balcony cabin for the very first time. Is there anything special that you bring for your balcony? Any tips for a balcony? Thank you so much I am so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakman58 Posted January 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ditto on the binoculars and I like the idea of a LED candle for ambiance on the balcony at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltek Posted January 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2016 First, are people serious about the fishing pole? Or am I just being really gullible? LOL! Second, I bring a lightweight blanket for evenings if it's a balcony big enough for lounge chairs. That LED candle is a good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolita22 Posted January 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2016 At night, we enjoy sitting on our balcony with a glass of champagne listening to music. We bring along a small, portable speaker (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/AYL-Guarantee-Rechargeable-Expandable-Smartphones/dp/B007OYAVLI/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1452098926&sr=1-4&keywords=portable+speakers) and attach it to my iPod. We've got cruise playlist that we play quietly (so we don't disturb the neighbors) and enjoy our champagne. Super relaxing! We sail the Escape on 1/23, right after you disembark. Enjoy your cruise and your balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnsToSea Posted January 6, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We bring some clothes pins or towel clips. It's usually pretty breezy and we like to clip our swimsuits to the chairs to dry out. I've also heard of people bringing the blue painters tape to tape the curtain shut to keep out light. And remember, if the balcony door is open, the AC won't run.

cb at sea Posted January 6, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Lol! There is nothing you need for your balcony on a ship that you wouldn't at a beach resort with a balcony! Binoculars go with me on EVERY trip! Not just cruises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinIllinois Posted January 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 6, 2016 First, are people serious about the fishing pole? Or am I just being really gullible? LOL! Nope, totally serious. Give your fish to the steward and the cooks will clean it and serve it to you for dinner the next night. Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macadian Posted January 6, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2016 No pole required on lower balconies. Leave out a little bread crumbs over night and flying fish will have attended theron to provide for your breakfast needs. Just be sure to forewarn your steward so he can clip their wings and do the needful!...😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring two small boat rods (foldable), been pretty lucky in the past. If you catch something you can asked to have it cooked for you at dinner, just be sure to tip. When we have an aft balcony I always bring a large kite, looks really cool at night with glow sticks on it Edited January 6, 2016 by Laszlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clean1owner Posted January 6, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wow. Some very helpful info! What bait do you usually use? Depends on what you are trying to catch. Sometimes wine and the moonlight are the best bait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cloudyrain Posted January 6, 2016 #21 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Binoculars, led candle, fleece blanket - these are the things that I always say I will bring and always forget! :) It's amazing having a balcony, just be warned that you will never go back!

OCruisers Posted January 6, 2016 #22 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Seriously, you won't need anything special for you balcony! If you want a blanket, you can get one from your cabin steward. Enjoy your balcony and your cruise! :) Edited January 6, 2016 by OCruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
