We're considering the 10/29/06 Silver Shadow cruise from Barbados to San Juan. It appears to us that there are two types of Vista suites: deck 4, with no balcony; and deck 5, with a shared balcony for the nine Vista suites. Is this correct? If so, why would anyone book deck 4, when you can book deck 5 and have at least a semi-private balcony?

We're posting a separate thread about Silversea vs. Radisson.
