jdacombe Posted November 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Looking to book a cruise on Sky and considering an obstructed stateroom at the front of the ship (E104) as its a deluxe balcony with a larger balcony. The only obstruction that I can see is that the balcony has a metal front. Does anybody who has experience of these type of staterooms say what they are like as regards motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted November 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2022 This would be at the very front of the ship and it is a bit more closed in than the others after you. the metal wall is curved. You can search "images" online for pics of the Sky Princess and get a better look. The thing about the metal railing is not being able to see when sitting down on your balcony.

The only obstruction that I can see is that the balcony has a metal front. Does anybody who has experience of these type of staterooms say what they are like as regards motion Have been in those forward Emerald Deck Deluxe Balcony cabins many times - we aim for 109 or 110 as often as we can as the balconies are huge!! And the only "issue" is the metal railing. No issues with motion for us - we've done two TAs, one NY to Caribbean and several Caribbean sailings in those forward cabins Only issue is occasional noise from anchor being lowered. Not enough to stop us enjoying them. We've hosted UBD for 8 on E110 - that's how big it is! Lol. 104 isn't that large, but it's much larger than standard, easily enough room to stretch out. Here's a video from Regal.. Sky will be exactly the same, just a little different color scheme inside. You can get a good idea of balcony size around 3:10 onwards.. https://youtu.be/UpuhJZHpMpU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdacombe Posted November 25, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thank you for all the information, I'm ok with the metal balcony front, it's really the motion side of things and possibly noise from the Theatre below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nothing from the theater, you're not actually above any of the active theater areas, you're forward of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted November 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The motion issue is personal. Motion does not bother us, but if it bothers you, this is not the place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suekel Posted November 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I love them. Booked M106 for a cruise to Hawaii leaving Sunday. We're going to have dinner out there on the night we overnight in Honolulu...Motion hasn't been an issue and the balcony is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishin' musician Posted November 26, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2022 We stayed in them a bunch of times until my wife had issues with rough seas. Now we find other staterooms with large balconies. I will not travel on a Royal class ship in a standard size balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
