npro1464 Posted October 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) I just got off the Breakaway 10/16 cruise and had the pleasure of staying in a slanted balcony room, which I discovered per Cruise Critic's suggestion. For those of you who don't know, these balconies are priced the same as the base balconies, except they have additional space because they're on the "hump" of the ship. I highly recommend it! The balcony was huge. I'm surprised NCL doesn't charge more for it. The balcony faces backwards, which minimizes the amount of wind you face. It is also good for people watching. The every morning, without fail, someone would be playing shuffleboard on the 6th or 7th deck show in the third deck. If you're gonna book this cruise early, I'd look into booking one of these rooms.

tlc64 Posted October 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2016 is this balcony big enough to have lounges on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted October 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2016 We've just been assigned 9300 for our guaranteed cabin on the Getaway. It seems to have an angled balcony too. I think it does look down on the roof of the Great Outdoors, or whatever they call the area on the promenade deck, but I don't think that will bother us. Has anyone had this cabin?

bbixler18 Posted October 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yes these are great and I try to book them every time. Was just in 9278 last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerworks Posted October 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) The balcony was huge. It is a whopping 15 sq ft bigger... nice to stand on the rail... but overall, no big deal. Edited October 25, 2016 by computerworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
