We were just upgraded to a category BF on the Emerald Deck. We've never been on the Grand before, does anyone know about this level of staterooms?

I believe the BF cabins you're referring to are the balcony cabins far forward?? If not, no need to read on. If so, they are nice cabins with a big balcony... but the problem with these cabins is that the balcony is fully covered and doesn't look down over the ocean, as it is fairly far inboard from the side of the ship. The balcony sits out along the little section of the promenade where it transitions up from the Promenade deck. What this results in is a pretty significant lack of privacy as people walk up the little set of stairs headed for the front of the Emerald deck where the promenade circles the bow. They are VERY close... people could shake hands with you over the balcony rail as they walk by. I've never stayed in one, but every time I sail on the Grand I make a mental note not to, as I personally would not enjoy that interaction. It depends on what you like though, I always notice that the people in those cabins are often chatting with the pedestrians... so if you like that you may enjoy it, but if you don't you may want to verify what I've stated here and possibly rearrange the upgrade so as not to ruin your vacation.
I'm pretty sure I've got it right, but I'd appreciate it if any of you Grand experts could verify this for Tim and Judy... especially if you've stayed in one of these cabins.

DJA is correct. If you think the lack of privacy will bother you, you might want to change cabins.
