Why This Huge Cruise Balcony Is A Bad Choice | P&O Iona

- We snagged a massive balcony on Iona - it was bigger than the cabin itself! But, our excitement didn't last long in cold and windy Norway. Find out if you should try to book one of these balconies, or if a regular-sized one might be better for your cruise.

I stayed in cabin 10514 on Iona a few weeks visiting Norway from 6th May. It was the same larger cabin which faces the aft. There were no issue with wind. The cabin was awesome for me and the kids. You are only on show, if you walk to the end of the balcony. You can just put the chairs at the end of the middle walls. So you can keep warm, and still have plenty of room, and not be on show. We had three chairs and a table. Agree about your comment about the light :)
We (first time cruisers) recently had one of the Aft ones on Deck 10 and loved it. Perfectly sheltered from the wind for the early morning Sail in to Olden. It was raining for the the Olden sail away and we were nice and dry and still able to enjoy the music and flag waving. We felt slight movement only on the day where it was a force 8 and we had a missed port, but nothing too bad. We Loved this type of cabin so much we have booked one again for a two week med cruise next year.
thanks for sharing this and giving us idea. cheers!
Really interesting! We’ve never had a balcony cabin. This does look lovely, but yes you pointed out some relevant points. Cheers 🍻
We had one of these cabins too. Initially we thought it was great but then over the week realised you felt like you were on show or overlooking everyone else because the balcony sticks out so much. Yes it was a bit darker inside too. Mixed feelings about it to be honest but I wouldn't pay extra to get one.
I’ve been looking for a decent review of one of these cabins - I’m so surprised they’re the same price, but do think I’d be really aware of everybody looking at me sitting out there, ha!
Exactly, we soon got to know our neighbours (and everyone on that side of the ship) being sat out on that balcony. Lol
Just come back from iona deck 12 yes good choice and on the same level as the buffett so not far to walk if ypu want to take food back to your cabin you need a decent view for the fjords go for it
