![]() The NCL advisor himself was surprised by the huge-ness of the balcony (I forget actual square footage but it was sig. ![]() None of the negatives I've mentioned affected our enjoyment of this cruise! But I'd caution anyone new to the Away Class who might be interested in these aft-facing cabins to do more research on that issue. It didn't bother us, because it was pretty chilly outside at night, the ship wasn't full, and so the parties didn't go on that long. That was a surprise, since we were so many decks below. ![]() I'll note that we were able to hear music from Spice H2O at night, even inside our cabin with the balcony door closed. Also, when the beds were put together as we'd requested, there was almost no room between the bed and the balcony door. The cabin itself, however, was pretty narrow. We wound up spending a lot of time out there, especially since the ship was unable to dock in Bermuda for 2 of our 3 scheduled days there. Our preference is for cabins above and below us, so that led us to Deck 12 12308 was available, and so we booked that.Īs the photo below shows, we did have a very large balcony, with plenty of deck furniture. I did some quick research here - thank you all - and quickly narrowed our search down to aft-facing balconies on Decks 9 and 12, since they were the largest (deepest). We'd never sailed on an Away Class ship before, and so we were totally unfamiliar with the cabins, except that I recalled from reading here on CC that the regular balconies were absurdly tiny, so those were out. In October, not having been on a ship since January 2020, we decided to make a last minute booking on the Breakaway (as in, two weeks prior to sailing!). Thank you so very much for this very detailed explanation! The deck plans have errors so even though the indent shows the bed near the closet (9318), it is actually bed near balcony. Going higher would give a better view but the balcony would be smaller/less deep and the possibility of noise from Spice H2O (under normal cruising) at night is a negative.ĩ318/9918 would be second. Going lower to deck 9 would give a slightly deeper balcony but the view wouldn't be as good. It offers a good size (2nd deepest) and has a good view. The center (wheelchair accessible) balcony gives the best views to both sides but those balconies should go to those who need them.įor deck, I prefer 12. The configuration is bed near balcony (my preference) and the view to the side of the ship is still good. I usually suggest the stateroom next to the aft-facing Haven suite. ![]() In that case, the port side one has the smaller/more narrow balcony. The exception is deck 10 which has 2 wheelchair accessible mini-.errr, Club Balcony suites. The balcony located port side of the wheelchair accessible stateroom is the narrowest on each deck. (using Getaway which is the same sizes/depths as Breakaway) Even then, not all " bed near the balcony" balconies are the same width when on the same deck (a few inches different). Having the bed near the balcony will generally be wider than bed near the closet. The differences in width vary between bed near balcony vs. From deepest to least deep, the order is 9, 12, 11, 10, 14, 13. For the standard (not Haven/not wheelchair accessible) aft-facing balconies on Breakaway, there are differences in depth (by deck) and width.
