Verandah/navigators verandah

[TooPure4u]

I am a bit confused. My first cruise I had a regular plexiglass verandah...cat 6. This time I am in an inside cat 10. I am really wanting to upgrade to something with an opening lol. What exactly is the difference between a verandah and a navigators verandah. When looking at them, they seem to be the same thing.

Is the navigators verandah sliding doors into an closed off area with a big hole that is open to the outside???? lol....

Thanks in advance.... Tracy

Yes - it's more like an enclosed balcony with a cutout hole (circular on the Magic, oval on the Wonder). There are a few sites with good pictures around, which someone can probably post for you.

A good way to describe it is: You have the balcony, and for the opening to the sea, you have a port hole the big one, but there is NO glass. The wonder is larger due to the oval shape. The balcony is a little different with "nautical" touches, a bench on 1 side, and wooden chair, and a table. Inside is all done in wooden touches. Its very nice, a little more private. We enjoyed ours very much.

Problems are: I'm 5'0" and standing barefoot the bottom rail came up to around my shoulders. So to see out I had to stand, or sit on "my feet" on the chair. To look down I kneeled on a chair (but I'm a grown up) To look out at the horizon no problem just look straight out from room. Is it worth it absolutely. We loved the fresh air, and being able to "look out". (our's was located on deck 5).
