Bliss Balcony Cabins

[twoznuff2]

Maybe a crazy question but, can anyone tell me what if any decks have balconies that look directly down onto the water? It looks like the "Boardwalk" may obstruct the direct view down from most decks. I am particularly interested in midship balconies.

Thank you in advance.

Do you mean "Waterfront"? We had deck 15 and no problem looking down on the water.

Sorry, Yes I meant "waterfront". I watched a video of a mid-ship balcony on deck 9 and they looked down onto the "waterfront". It made me wonder if all the decks had that view. Most people show a video looking out onto the ocean not directly down.

If you want a "straight down...nothing but water" view, your best bet is the M6 on deck 8.

We were on deck 10 near aft elevators. We did not have any issues with our view down but deck 8 did stick out a little.

Thank you all for the info. I could only dream of a Haven cabin lol. The deck 10 picture is kind of what I imagined it would look like.

The M6 cabin referred to above isn’t Haven. It is a mini suite with large balcony. Usually not too much more than a normal mini suite, and well worth the extra if you spend time on the balcony. They are huge.

littlelulu01.. What cabin were you in ?  I will be in 10620. and was wondering about the view too..   I am thinking there are NO Views straight down to water .. you will see part of the track, a roof, or a lower balcony .. in all the cabins .

We sailed the similar Breakaway last year, and were two decks above the roof of the Waterfront.  We had no issues with our view.  I do think, possibly, being just one deck above the Waterfront MIGHT be a little disappointing.

The waterfront, deck 8, is directly over deck 7 so if it weren't there you would still be looking at deck 7.  Either way, it isn't much of an obstruction.  Though, if you are on deck 9 your viewing angle will change a bit.

Looking at deck 14 midship.  It appears we will have the view similar to what littlelulu01 posted and that is fine. I am also looking at the M6 cabins as suggested and trying to decide if the price difference is worth it for us. There are no additional perks for a mini suite and the larger bathroom is not a big upsell for me. We do spend a lot of time on our balcony but as this is Alaska and will most likely be cold our visits on the balcony may be a bit shorter. Oh, the decisions talk about first world problems .

We were in 10290 a sail away mini suite. We booked last minute so no choice for room location or any perks but we were very happy with our assigned location. We really preferred aft elevators - much less waiting. Here’s some more pictures of the view down, out from room and looking forward.

Here’s some pictures of the side of the ship that might give you an idea of view from balconies.

Looks like you had an angled balcony...did you have room for a lounge chair?

Thanks it looks like there is room! I’ll be in an angled balcony next week. Hopefully the steward can get one for me.
