Gingerbread Girl Posted August 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I am choosing a balcony cabin and am thinking to go toward the aft of Deck 7. Can anyone tell me if this is a good location and in particular are these balconies exposed to the sky above, or covered by the balcony on the next deck up? I am keen to get some shade and privacy so am hoping for the latter Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted August 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The deck 7 balconies are covered by the deck 8 ones. The aft BD category staterooms should give you privacy (nobody can look on to your balcony from other parts of the ship). You may hear more engine noise towards the stern of the ship.

moldgirl Posted August 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2016 We've chosen that location on QE & QV. Good location for shade & privacy. We have had the farthest aft cabins on deck 7 & did not experience any engine noise on either ship. Tend to go for the corner balconies if we can, but deck 7 aft would be our next choice every time.

Only problem with the corner balconies is that you can see quite a few balconies and they can see you. Not the best choice if you want privacy. Here is a view of the corner balconies.

Gingerbread Girl Posted August 29, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks for the reassurance about the deck 7 aft location which I have now booked Interesting to see the corner balconies -they look big, but I like my privacy too much to book one Happy cruising!

moldgirl Posted August 29, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2016 They are bigger & the cabin is bigger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old fool Posted August 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Would it be accurate to say?: The corner balcony cabins have both more interior space and more balcony space, but they have less privacy while on the balcony. The non-corner balcony cabins have a bit less interior AND balcony space but have good privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
