Thank you Dan for the reply. I know, I know, I no more and sent the question and realized the front is the bow of the ship. I have now switched to cabin C755 due to the fact I recieved a e-mail from a lady that had been upgraded to this exact cabin and said it was a great room and deck but was unable to sit on the deck due to wind. The steward would come and lock the door that was between the balcony part which is in the side and the wrap around which faced the front. Then at port would come back and unlock them while you were in port So, if you were a deck person you could not use the deck while it was at sea. It is suposedly, a safety factor. Does not happen all the time but cannot be sure when it will happen. Our TA called directly to the cruise lines and they said, yes, this was true. I cannot take a chance on an Alaskan cruise that we cannot use the deck after all the money we paid for this room. My husband would go balistic, as he wants to sit on the deck and watch all the beauty of the land.
