One of the most unexpected benefits of the Infinite Veranda was the added sense of privacy it provided.
On a standard balcony, your outdoor space is more exposed, with only a small divider separating you from your neighbors. They can also feel less secluded.
Depending on the ship’s design, a standard balcony might even be visible from other decks. On a previous cruise, for example, a stranger on an upper deck yelled things at me while I was taking photos on my standard balcony. It was pretty embarrassing.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to worry about that while using our Infinite Veranda. Even with the window open, the space felt enclosed and much quieter.
Unlike on traditional balconies, where you can often hear chairs moving or conversations next door, we never heard our neighbors.
All of this gave us a greater sense of privacy while we enjoyed the ocean views.
