Chmusar Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hi All Does anyone now if on the anthem do all interior cabins have virtual balconies as looked on iglu cruise and there is a difference in price between a virtual and a standard but the photos both show Virtual Balconies.

Ampurp85 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 No. There are a limited number of virtual balconies, and they are a different category, hence the price difference. Regular interiors will be more plentiful and exist as is. Do not take stock photos as proof of anything over the descriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va4fam Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Several years ago, we booked a virtual balcony for the kids. Higher priced than interior room, lower than actual balcony. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I do believe Anthem has virtual balconies for all of their interiors. I played doing some mock bookings and saw nothing about interiors without the virtual balcony. Che king around on the internet I found this https://www.worldofcruising.co.uk/cruise-news/anthem-of-the-seas-rooms-royal-caribbean-cabins#:~:text=If you are on a,the Seas virtual balcony rooms.&text=These interior cabins vary in,on outside in real-time.

I just checked and it list regular interiors but when you go to book it only gives an option for VBs. So maybe all the interiors are VB, which is quite random and cool I guess.

letscruise Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Is anyone able to offer a review of the virtual balcony rooms? I've put my teens in a VB for an upcoming cruise on Anthem and they have only ever had a balcony room. Are they going to hate it (i.e. complain the whole time?!)? What is the view that is displayed on the VB monitor? Is there also a TV in the room? They are worried about that...thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sailed B2B in one on Navigator last Sept and fell in love with them. There will be a TV, plus the large screen. The view is pretty good, and I left my curtain open constantly. It was nice to wake up to calm waters and birds flying, that was my view. Now the large screen changes the room atmosphere, and some give off a slight noise. Also depending on the location, the room might feel a bit more cramped. It lacks the fresh air aspect you get with balconies, so take that into account. letscruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 The screen for the balcony is in between the curtains. Aside from lacking an actual balcony space to sit on the cabin is the same. I had a regular balcony on Anthem followed immediately the next week with the interior with a virtual balcony. For the first 2days I’d walk over to pull the curtain more to see additional view like it was a real balcony. The view is real, it’s from a camera on one side of the ship letscruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are different configurations for the virtual balcony cabins. Here is one I stayed in: The bathroom is identical to balcony cabins. While at sea: Approaching land. In summary an interior virtual balcony is better than an interior cabin but not equivalent to an actual balcony cabin. You can tell if it is sunny or raining outside and if the ship in underway but beyond that it is nothing like having a real balcony where you can step outside and feel the outside.

letscruise Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Thanks so much for the helpful responses and the photos, which are great! I didn't realize you can pull the curtain open and closed, that's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottD Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Do they face the side you are on? Or do they all show the same thing no matter what side of the ship you're on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chmusar Posted August 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 cheers for all the replies I went for a Ocean View stateroom as it was cheaper than a VB stateroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
