Sunset veranda is small on S-class (pic)

[fstuff1]

When I was in aft balcony on m-class and e-class, the balcony were deep!

I was surprised it was in s-Class it's as shallow as a regular balcony :o :(

 

Solstice 

[cococruiser]

Can’t bear that view though! Wow!

[bikerunner]

Class of ships are all different from each other.  Still I would take that over reg verandah any day

How was the overhang from the deck above?  I feel like the aft balconies don’t offer much shade…a must for us.

Not much overhang at all., you have to sit right by the sliding door to have any cover.

Wow, what a view!   

 

The balconies come in different sizes in the aft cabins.   You need to research your choice of room on S class as some are significantly wide, although shallower than M class.   I would also be delighted with this!

Mines isn't that wide either.

I looked at the cabins immediately below and above me. None of those aft balconies look like they can fit a long lounger like I'm used to on m&e class sunset balconies

Oh yeah amazing view... Sydney harbour bridge.

S-class SV's are great if one loves to bake in the sun.  I am not interested in funding my dermatologist any further than I already have. 😄

100% agree.  A balcony without shade is useless to us...

I meant to go back and edit my post to say the aft views are my absolute favorite from on board any ship.  I would not turn my nose up at an S-class SV entirely.  I would just wear a hat and coordinate my time on my verandah early in the morning and just before dusk into the evening.

Look at it this way, it's bigger than the Deluxe Porthole Verandas on the E class ships.

I hope it’s docked that way in March as we have a SV on Edge.

I am excited to have my first SV on Solstice for Alaska!!!!  I was on Deck 8 but started looking at some pictures and changed to Deck 7.  7364 looked like it had a wider balcony than the others.  Since it's Alaska, I will welcome any sunshine and wear a hat.  I already had 1 bout with melanoma, don't need another!!!!

Excellent choice, we had a SV on the Solstice in Alaska earlier this year.You won't be disappointed
