stavs Posted May 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Wife and I are first timers and we chose a balcony stateroom. We let Carnival decide which stateroom. Figured I would roll the dice. We were assigned the following: category 8n 8270. This is at the back of the ship, which seems like it would be cool, but what do I know. Is it good or bad to be all the way at the back of the ship? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamirpr Posted May 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Which ship are you on? Typically balconies are great. If you give the ship then others can comment on locale better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavs Posted May 10, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Whoops! My bad! We are on the Pride from May 30th. Only reason I opted for a balcony was so i could have the luxury of smoking without having to go anywhere special. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arush5268d Posted May 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2010 You got very lucky. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieworkman Posted May 10, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2010 That's an aft cabin and many people love those! It seems like a great assignment if you booked a guarantee! Others who have cruised on this class of ship can give more specifics (size of balcony, room configuration, etc.) Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamirpr Posted May 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Woah, dude, you got an aft extended balcony. Nice score. You will be spoiled and not want to go back to the regular ole little balconies. LOL There is a link a few pages down (maybe page 2) called "Show me your aft". Scan through the thread for pictures of an aft balcony. You do not have a wrap-around, but you will have an extended. It's deeper and gives more room as opposed to a regular side balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavs Posted May 10, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Cool! So, since its listed on the "My Cruise" page, they wont change it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotthead Posted May 10, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2010 To many people the catagory 8N and 8M are Balcony GOLD!! So Id say JackPot!! We Love the AFT view...the wake behind the ship is my favorite view! Enjoy!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
