[Radiance o/t Seas] Any loungers on regular balconies besides aft?

[FreestyleNovice]

Hello Royal friends!

 

I am not too familiar with RCCL so please help me out!  On Radiance, aft balconies appear to have 2 loungers and a large sized balcony. Are there any regular balconies (i.e. starboard/port) with those too? Oh and any chance for an Amplified Radiance by 2022?

 

Thanks!

Regular Balcony, no, not enough room anyway. Now Deck 7 has some deeper Balcony's though no Loungers on them

I think some of the hump balconies deck 9/8 have loungers? @PCWalton1 did you once have a hump balcony on Radiance class with a lounger?

 

OP I have requested loungers on larger balconies in the past and have received them.

Think we had a wider balcony on the Serenade (not sure but definitely this class), last cabin before the aft cabins and we asked for lounges and they supplied.  They were older lounges, but didn’t care.  I think it was 9654.

I thought they had chair and foot stool ?? A long time since I've been in a balcony.

Yes, a chair.  Some have a foot stool. Because of the size of the balcony we were able to get the lounges in addition to the regular chairs.

I thought we did with 9092 on Radiance back in 2017 but I looked up the picture and there was only chairs

Thanks, forgot about those few each Deck. Can request, some Room Attendants go further then others. Might take a day

We got loungers delivered to our CP balcony on Oasis. Had one of the wide ones next to living wall.

 

Never hurts to ask 'nicely'

None.  Royal is not amplifying the Radiance class of ships. 

[pspercy]

We had 7592 on Radiance in 2014 and asked Room Steward if we could get a lounger as we had an oversize balcony.

 

Later that day we returned to cabin to find TWO loungers 🙂 

One would have probably been enough in reality.

Ask nicely, never know 'til you try.

Thanks for the replies all! I think I will stick to an aft balcony in my prospects, 2022 planning mode is on!

Yup, love that site. Lifetime membership!

Oh and by the way, in this 2019 walk around this guy just walks past an open gate to the helipad at 5:08 in the video.. (and on the way back the opposite gate is closed ). Is this still allowed, is it open anytime during the day? We all love helipad sailaways, especially if they are without a invitation?

We have had 8088 and similar deep balconies on the hump many times.  If the loungers were not there I just got a couple from the deck.  It was easier than asking the room steward.

Yes.  Except for private parties or weather issues or some captains close it at night.

Easier?  Not schlepping one around.  Room attendant was very agreeable and he got someone to do the schlepping!

I've done the same.  you do get some strange looks as you are carrying a lounger down the passenger corridor.

The cabin is right next to the elevator.  The strange looks are when putting them in the elevator.

I had an aft balcony on Liberty that I moved them to.
