TMLAalum Posted July 8 #1 Share Posted July 8 Can those translucent bi-fold doors separating the IV from the rest of the cabin be changed out for drapery as on RCCL ships? Or perhaps redesigned to be opaque? The top-down room darkening shade is problematic when one cabin mate wants to sleep in and the other is ready to rise and shine and enjoy the view outside. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Hodges Bethge Posted July 18 #2 Share Posted July 18 We have learned through the Edge series that the infinite veranda is very polarizing. Our guests either love it or they hate it. We are re-evaluating the ratio of balconies to infinite verandas in future ship classes to make sure we have the optimal mix. We appreciate your valuable feedback, and we will look into the possibility of curtains in the future. 10 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still confused why a cruise line would eliminate the most common type of cabin without understanding how people use the balconies. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the E-Class ships sail full capacity, so they seem to be working for a lot of Celebrity cruisers. I will wait for the Next-Class (N-Class, termed here by me😄) with a better mix of real balconies and IV's. Another lesson learned from RCCL newer ships with both. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you check What is the difference in price between IV and real balcony ? Really Instead of asking I decided to check On the Icon for a 7 day cruise they charge more for an IV cabin, it was $100 more pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the Royal configuration, I believe that it was 27% IVs/ 63% balconies. Real balconies on E class cost a bunch more for the SVs and suites.

You gather in the theatre and when your number is called you walk through the ship, down a couple sets of stairs through the Martini Bar to get to the exit under the Magic Carpet. It is so much simpler on other ships just to exit the theatre and go down the stairs or take the elevator directly to the exit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
