If memory serves some of the more dire predictions accounted for 40 feet of sea level rise as a result of melting ice. This article says that Antarctica's ice shelves (cliffs) would only amount to six feet.
So that leaves 'only' 34 feet of sea level rise if the ice cliffs don't collapse as a result of occasional calving and instead gradually melt over time (at a slower pace).
Either way it's going to make the sea rise... Just over say, 150 years instead of 50.
