AOS Deck 6, like a cell???

[apache1]

Is it true that AOS balcony suites on deck 6 are like cells. There is no glass to look out at. Please say its not so!! This is my first cruise with a balcony, and I want it to be a good one.

On deck 6, the wall of the balcony is NOT plexiglas; it is mostly metal. But I would not call it a "cell."

 

Which cruise date, which cabin?

I, too, think "cell" is pretty harsh. There IS a balcony, all fresh air and seaview above the railing...only below the railing is metal. The glass doors from the cabin are all glass and daylight abounds!!!

On deck six the area below the rail is steel while the upper deck have a piece of glass about 16-18" nelow the rail. On the upper decks you can be seated and still look down to some degree.

I believe we stayed on deck six - voyager - which is the same class. I just remember enjoying that balcony. It was our first cruise. After my DH spoke with the TA he wrote me an email and said the only outside room avail. was a balcony....is that ok with you?????

OK with me????? Wow. I couldn't book it fast enough.

 

Enjoy your trip.

We are Deck 6 on the Voyager last April and below the railing was steel. Prior to the cruise I too was a bit disappointed when I found this out. For us it worked out just fine - the views were beautiful. In fact this year's christmas picture of the kids was taken from our balcony with a backdrop of St. Thomas. We're booked again for February 18th on a Deck 6 balcony on the Navigator, assuming it would have the same steel panel. But from what I read, the Deck 6 balcony on the Navigator is full glass. Either way is fine with us - the views are terrific!
