We have always wanted to book an aft extended balcony and right now there are several available at a very good price on deck 7 (rooms 7424-7431). Has anyone stayed in one of these rooms and what are your thoughts? Thanks!

Read my post on this.

Does anyone have pic'of this cabin.I think I may have picked the wrong cabin from what I am hearing this cabin is smaller than the other aft cabins

Go to Carnival ? whatever ship name, Then deck Plans, then deck 7, then click on cabin number, Then details and 360 degree room views. It will tell you that it has a chair and desk, but no mention of sofa and table. Look at the 360 view, no sofa or coffee table. The balcony is still big, but i was very disappointed in room size on the Breeze a couple of yrs ago. If you are paying extra for an ext aft, you should get a good ext aft. The ones next to it are the same amt of money.

Go to Carnival Sunshine, deck plans, deck 7, click on cabin number, click on details and 360 degree view. You will see why it is smaller. Don't get stuck b/c no one will tell you the cabin is smaller. Good luck!

Ext afts 7427 and 7424, next to the wraps do not have a sofa or coffee table, making them smaller than the other ext afts on Deck 7. Go to Carnival Triumph, Deck Plans, deck 7 and click on these cabins. The details so not include sofa or coffee table, so they are considerably smaller cabins. The balcony is still a larger balcony. My Dh and I got stuck in one on the Breeze and were very disappointed in the cabin size, as we always book ext afts. Sometimes even the PVP's don't know about this, so do your own homework. I don't know if this occurs on other decks, so investigate the cabin details. I didn't like the Breeze cabin at all and no PVP told me it was smaller. Be aware when booking.

I booked almost same itinerary for 2018.We got a aft extended for 1 st time 7333. Are the balcony's hot or shaded? Is there a lot of vibration/movement? How about privacy? Looks like your neighbor can look onto your balcony. We were on Sunshine 2015-2016 New Years cruise and loved her then.Thanks !

For future ext aft cruisers on Deck 7, 7324 and 7327 are smaller than the other ext afts on Deck 7. There is no sofa or coffee table in those cabins and the tv can be in a weird place. The balcony is still big, but I was def disappointed on our Breeze ext aft cabin a couple of years ago. Even the PVP's sometimes are not aware of the cabin differences, so check yourself on the Carnival website. Go to Deck Plans for your ship, click on the cabin and then Details and if it doesn't say sofa and table you have a smaller ext aft.

I have a midnight buffet on the Sunshine Journeys cruise in August out of NYC.

Just google Carnival Sunshine cabins with mini fridge. You will find a thread with the info.

Been on 7 cruises with NO.8 coming up. They have all been on Carnival. I am always thinking about booking a diff cruise line, but nothing is appealing to me. This upcoming cruise is a Journeys Cruise and I am looking forward the the Throwback day and other interesting things, I love John Heald's blog on Facebook. I always book an ext aft and I am mesmerized by the wake. I always want to book one of the diff specialty restaurants, but I can eat at two of them for lunch free. I am not a tight wad, I just don't believe in throwing hard earned money away. I love the people on Carnival, I love my balcony, I love the food and the ports. I even had a Mex Riviera Cruise that stopped at NO ports due to Swine Flu epidemic and I was upset. Carnival did right by us: free drinks, OBC and 50% off next cruise, I made lemonade out of lemons. Someday I might stray to another cruise line, but for now I am loyal to the whale tail.It gives me chills. I also don't consider my self a Walmart cruiser, but I do shop there if there is a bargain. Have a great day!

Anyone use this tour in St. Thomas? It is highly rated on Tr__ Ad______.

We just want to sight see as we would shop in St. Martin. Are they punctual and do they serve rum drinks? How did you pay? Pay in full upfront with credit card or do you pay when you get there? Thanks for your help!

The modify button appeared after clicking the blue "My Guests" tab.

Would love to take the Godfrey Tour, just shopping and sight seeing. It says on his website he will bring you back to the ship by 2pm. Are his times accurate? My ship leaves at 3pm and I am a little nervous about missing the ship. Just a paranoid cruiser, Several yrs ago did a partial submarine tour and I believe Coral World. we paid through the ship about $60pp. It was the worst tour ever. Someone threw up on the sub and they cleaned it up, but the smell followed us throughout the sub ride. The water was cloudy and we really saw nothing I realize these things were not the cruise ships fault, but again the worst, expensive tour I have ever been on in my past 7 cruises.

I think when you are doing your documents on line they ask you if you are celebrating any occasion during the cruise month.

Thanks, thinking of doing the trolley. Do you know what color bus route does the forts and shopping on the same bus? Also what time does the forts close as we are in port from 3--11pm.

Do you get a carafe of complementary wine the first night in the Itl specialty restaurant? I know u get free wine in the steak house the first night. Anything from Ji Ji's?

Wow 2 people said nothing. I guess it's the luck of the draw. I have heard you get a bottle of wine the first night in the Steak House, a carafe of wine 1st night in Capt. Cucina Italian restaurant, but Ji Ji's is hit or miss.

I will print out the map for the trolley and research the spots. Thanks.

Should we take a taxi tour? Are they safe? Or we could do the Free Trolley. Thoughts

What pier does carnival usually dock in San Juan? What do you think of just taking the free trolley around OSJ b/c we get in at 1pm on a Sunay and leave at 11pm. What else is there to do?

I have heard you get complimentary wine in the steak house and the Italian restaurant on the first night of the cruise. Does the Asian restaurant also provide complimentary wine on the first cruise evening?

Stayed next to an elevator on the Triumph, Deck 6. Never heard a peep the entire week.

Just checked the Carnival deck plans for the Breeze. 8468 has the sofa and coffee table in the picture and room details. Your cabin should be amazing!

I would say def smaller, even though it says comparable square footage. This will be our 8th cruise, all in balconies and most in ext afts. It was def a tjght fit for 2 people in that smaller ext aft. Also the tv can be in akward places in these smaller ext afts. I saw one over the head of the bed so u would watch tv laying at the foot of the bed.

I got the runs and stomach pains on the ship many years ago. Took A__b_____, 3 doses and everything was fine in about 12 hours. Didn't mind the nausea and stomach aches as I won $1500 in the casino in about one hour of slots. I love, love cruising!

We are booked on a 9 day Journeys cruise out of NYC in August. There are very few cabins left, 6 months out and the cruise rate for a balcony has jumped $700 pp. I am so looking forward to this cruise, just hope there are not too many kids on the ship. School in the north east starts this week.

Upcoming Sunshine cruise, 1st port is San Juan on a Sunday from 3 to 11pm. What is there to do in this time frame. I think the rum factory closes at 4PM. Might not be able to make this due to time constraints. Any suggestions would be helpful Thanks.
