Just got back from a week in Caribbean on Epic. There are pros and cons to the aft rooms. It just depends on your preferences.
Pros: Balcony is large enough for 2 loungers. Be sure and ask right away when you arrive. Watching the wake is awesome, sounds like a constant waterfall. Very little wind on the balcony. Quiet area with very little traffic by your cabin. On the 8th floor its just a quick walk down one deck to Moderno and Cagneys, another deck down to the Manhatten dining room.
Cons: Hard to hold a conversation on the balcony due to the constant sound from the wake. Vibration during docking from the thrusters that turn the ship which happens whenever it docks.
We loved it... hated it the last day as we were docking in Miami but overall... worth it for all the pluses.
