Navigators' Verandah??

[the kabuki]

I'm a little confused here. The navigators' verandah in CAT 7, is that open to the air/water or does it have a plexiglass type covering over it.

Also,On DCLtribute.com, they show some "secret" cat 6's that are charged as a CAT 7, and looking at the pics I can't tell if it's open or not?
TIA

"Update: These rooms have been reclassified as Category 7's. (They were formerly Category 5 and Category 6.) So you may be happy to put up with this semi-obstructed view in exchange for a lower cruise fare"

All of the verandas have the plexiglass covering the rails, unless you are in the very back of the ship and have the metal hull.

The Category 7 has an open air window. In the first link in my sig below are some pictures from a Cat 7 on Wonder. The ones on Magic have a round window, but still open.

I've stayed in these rooms (There are four of them) and have one for our repo cruise. The amount of obstruction is minimal imho, and I personally much prefer the plexiglass balcony as opposed to the conventional Navigator's Verandah. If you can get one it will save you a bit of cash.

Ok, now I'm confused. I had a TA very insistently tell me that that CAT 7 verahdah's are COMPLETELY enclosed. That the oval "window" was just that-a window, with plexiglass. It looks like from your pictures that I could actually stick my head out that? Is that right? The CAT 7's are a little bit less $$ of course, and I'd have no problem getting that one if it's actually open to the air/water.

They are ALL verandahs. You can stick your head, foot, leg, or any other appendage out if you wanted, and there is NO plexiglass window. The plexiglass I'm referring to is the plexiglass as the bottom (As in your photo), as opposed to metal so you can be sitting down and still see out

sounds like your TA hasn't actually been on a DCL ship

He was just on of a few I was getting a quote from. Don't think I'll be calling him back though!

Thanks so much for the info. I had dropped pricing CAT 7's altogether when I first heard this. Glad to know it's not true.
