Hi love your videos. I chose the cabana balcony based upon your video of the Terrazza cabana. Just returned two weeks ago and there is an attendant in the lounge area dedicated to checking and monitoring the area. It’s normally the same attendant so they recognize guests after that. I loved the cabana cabin and the perks that came with it. Will definitely choose this type of balcony again.

I fully appreciate your reviews. I have booked a Terrazza Cabana cabin leaving from NY in July. I hope they rectify this because I purposely spent ALL THIS EXTRA MONEY for a little privacy.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We loved being in the Havana area on the Horizon (we did not have a cabana, had an aft cabin). My husband spent the day in the pool and I read in the shade. The one thing I was sad to find out is that there is no pool in this area! Still looks lovely, however. We may just save our Havana dreams for the Horizon again and skip this one.

Thank you for that information. Hopefully, they are just trying to be super- accommodating to everyone on the inaugural sailing and not asking people to leave that area. I don't think that the upgrade cost is worth it for a hammock and a brunch, so I am going to definitely keep my eye on this!! Thank you again and enjoy the rest of your trip!! 😊

Great video.. thanks for the information. The amenities look worthwhile but the balcony (if you can call it that) makes this a no go especially with the higher price. Knowing my neighbors wouldn’t change anything. I like to see and hear the ocean while sitting on the balcony. This isn’t a balcony but a sitting area.
@alicewilliams7129 Жыл бұрын
You nailed it. It is not a balcony we like to use when we are on the cruise, this IS a sitting area wide open for the whole "community". And to add people getting in who did not pay extra for all these amenities, it's a no-brainier for us. We booked a regular balcony and keep our finger crossed....

@@alicewilliams7129 i hear ya there - at least with a regular balcony u KNOW no one will be walking by there or getting in where they shouldnt. we came off Horizon last september after having one of the corner afts in Havana and loved it - was considering doing one of the cabanas on this ship or Firenze but will probably stick with a regular or premium view aft but still in this section - considerably more private

We just sailed on the Venezia. We had a great time, however it was probably the worst cruise we’ve been on so far. Alot of wasted space, too many kids, constant cigarette smoke everywhere and the buffet was not really good. The mdr was fabulous though. If this was our first cruise it would have been our last. But cruises are what you make of them. We had a wonderful time!!

@@GroundedLifeCruises Is this because you got upgraded? It's like eating at a restaurant and people coming over eating off your plate. One talk with customer service should end it. "Start enforcing rules, eject anyone out without a wrist band ASAP...I don't want to come back down here". I do it with the Havana suites every cruise, talking to staff in Havana suites usually fixes it.
@MaryGatdula Жыл бұрын
I would also be complaining. I am not likely to be able to afford the cabana anyway, but it is totally unfair to be paying a premium price with certain expectations of the benefits only to have anybody and everybody having excess to what should be a private spot! It's also so rude of people to go into a place they know they shouldn't be! If you don't pay for it, don't use it!

In my opinion the balcony is always better. There isn’t enough privacy on the terrazza room. I hate the idea that ppl can walk right past your room. The whole purpose of a balcony, to me, is so I can sit naked and watch the ocean.

I got a discounted upgrade to be on of the Terrazza cabins, since they weren't full a month before departure; do you know if the room number itself (9509, right along the "aft" end with the extended balcony) automatically comes with the access to the brunch and private deck? My price increase was surprisingly minimal for the room, but the access wasn't specifically mentioned, so I wasn't sure how it's determined. Thanks!
