TheMettins Posted September 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Morning all 😀 There are 2 Aurea Suites located at the very front of the ship that interest me... looking for feedback from anyone that has stayed in this Suite (1203/1204). I'd assume it's quite windy & almost unusable when underway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted September 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Yes ... they are unusable when at sea. We were in 1201 (for 4 weeks) and I spent a lot of time over the course of the cruise at the front of the ship on the open deck, right next to those balconies. As soon as the ship would depart a port, you couldn't be out there (though it was fantastic when travelling through the Suez) due to having to sail at a very slow rate).

BLONDEDUDE59 Posted September 18, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don't mind the wind that much! If you move your chair very close to the glass barrier it is tolerable. Sunglasses, chapstick and skin moisturizer will take care of warding off any wind burn, or one can just go up to the Aurea Serenity Deck and hang out. Being in forward cabins like 1201 and 1204 are a lot like being in the Serenity Area of the Oasis Class Ships with the forward windows open. Not that big a deal, unless it is raining. If I'm mistaken about this please let me know as my Wife and I booked Cabin 1204 for the 10/7/19 Sailing back a few months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMettins Posted September 20, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thank you for the responses. I was able to have someone onboard take pictures of the balcony space, so I thought I would share for others that may be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr173 Posted September 20, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Wow! Nice balcony and surely quite a view. But if the ship is clipping 24 knots into a headwind, you clearly need to bolt yourself to your slippers and latch your drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like the front facing view, but prefer a tall glass barrier- or no balcony at all, as we've enjoyed on the Carnival Paradise.
