Deck: 5 Verandah
* The balconies of cabins below on deck 4 extend out about 18 inches, slightly obstructing the view when looking straight down at the water
* Indented cabins (cabins where the deck is not as wide) have obstructed views when looking side to side along the ship. The closer you are to where the deck first indents the greater perception of obstruction you will have. One benefit of these cabins is there is more shelter from wind and rain.
* Indented balconies on this deck are 4.5 feet deep and not the standard 5.5 feet deep.
* Balconies that face aft of ship tend to be warmer than other balconies during cold weather crusing.
* Save money and book a forward or aft cabin in the same category you are looking for. They are the same size and offer the same features as more expensive midship cabins.
* The cabins on this deck are above and below decks with only cabins on them. This means that they tend to have less noise issues from public areas on the ship.
