Arcadia EE balconies

[simonpjd]

Good Morning.

We are looking at the grade EE balconies on Arcadia. 

They are different to the others in that they have a steel front. The rest have glass.

Also they are on E deck immediately above the theatre.

now straight away there are possible problems here.

 

So has anyone been in one of these and can say if they are fine.

We have been quoted a price of £500 per person to upgrade to a ED grade cabin. This seems ridiculous but the cruise is part of a larger package, so not much we can do.

We had one of these are few years ago.  We thought it was fine.  I don't remember any noise etc from the theatre. Nice size balcony, better than on Aurora.

For 2018/19 the grade EE balconies are at the aft of the ship not forward over the theatre, these are EF. The aft EE balconies are over the restaurant and are exceptionally quiet, have been in one of these four or five times and never heard a sound.  Why not change from forward to aft.

Our booking is for 2020.

The deck plans for E deck do not look any different for 2020 unless I am reading them incorrectly. Just to reiterate, aft EE cabins are very comfortable.

We returned from a cruise on Arcadia one month ago. We had an EE grade balcony (A166) at the aft end of the ship. It was a great cabin. More floor space inside the cabin, much bigger balcony, and great outlook. The only problem was soot from the funnel.  ….Sorry for the quality of the photo. I bought a new GoPro and this was a 'test' shot through the glass.
