C2CMH Posted March 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Fantastic.......I am in love with this cabin! Made your pic my new screen saver while I wait for my next cruise. We took our first aft balcony for this next cruise on Princess. It is not a corner, but hope the view is just as amazing. Thanks for sharing your pics : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAAdds1 Posted March 8, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Does this balcony ever get sun? I really liked the picture of the sunset. Beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichYak Posted March 8, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Does this balcony ever get sun?A little on the way back traveling north. Definitely not a sun-worshipper's balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted March 8, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I've read that aft balcony guests are sometimes bothered by the ship's smoke. Was that an issue for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichYak Posted March 8, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I've read that aft balcony guests are sometimes bothered by the ship's smoke. Was that an issue for you?Not the ship's smoke, no, but occasional cigar/cigarette smoke smell (not the smoke itself just the smell if that makes sense). Not sure if it was coming down from above balcony, or up 2 decks from crew deck on 5. Very minor nuisance which wouldn't stop me from booking it again. Perhaps 7388 on the starboard side would have less of this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shonandsuzie Posted March 8, 2009 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Nice pictures! We were in 7388 on Adventure and have more pics in our webshots link if anyone is interested.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winegirl58 Posted March 8, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 8, 2009 That sunset shot has got to be one of the prettiest I have ever seen. It is beautiful!! May I ask what kind of camera you use? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaPalms Posted March 8, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Beautiful pictures! We had the equivalent of this balcony on the Independence in November and will have 7688 on the Navigator next month. While we did have a major soot problem one night on the IOTS, we didn't have any soot on our NOTS aft balcony last year. I don't know if it's just luck (which way the wind is blowing) or something else (maybe burning garbage indifference to the wind direction???), but the IOTS seems to have a lot more mention of soot in various posts. Still, IMHO, except for the presidential suite, this is the BEST aft balcony on voyager/freedom class ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houlacruiser Posted April 27, 2009 #20 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I love your pics! I booked this room (after changing my mind 4 times lol) and now I am sooooo excited! Hubby and I are going on the Valentine's cruise in 2010 which should be right after her drydock so I can't wait to see the renovations also. Thanks again for posting! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we never have had that experience I understand that it can happen, but does have something to do with the captain and the shop/wind direction when they blow out soot. If they do it correctly, no problem ever. Still.... I'll take the aft any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeyoregon Posted May 6, 2013 #25 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Does anyone know if 7688 on Adventure of the Seas has the sliding balcony door too? Thanks, Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
