Show us Your Aft!


Recommended Posts

Ohhhhh, I was in that room in 2010 and the balcony was wonderful!!! I'll see if I have any pictures of it!

Nice!!! :D I'm crossing my fingers that you have some pictures. I'm so excited to be staying in an aft cabin ... never thought I'd be able to afford it.

I'm also curious if the loveseat in 7408 pulls out into a couch so we don't have to use the Pullman. Anyone know? I've searched posts and videos but can't figure it out.

Sailing on Freedom 7408 in August!!

We stayed in 7708--- which is 7408's reverse twin.

 

Love seats do not turn into beds. We asked as our son was little and we worried about the height, but he loved it and it made the room so much roomier, not having to navigate around the sofa bed to get to the bathroom.

I keep getting an error message on all your pictures and the above album saying they are no longer available. :confused:

 

I am not the poster of those photos, but it looks as if he or she had the photos linked from a webshots album. Webshots went out of business several years ago, so the links will no longer work. The poster would have to upload the pics to another site and link them here.

I really love this thread and the pics are amazing! Thanks to everyone who has contributed! I was wondering if someone can tell me if there is a high top table/chairs on Serenade JS 1100 so we can have breakfast on the balcony. Also, if there are 2 or 3 lounge chairs. Greatly appreciate anyone who can provide additional info/pics as well. Thanks!

My wife and I will be in this same cabin the week before. I would send some pictures but it would be too late by then.

 

Have a great cruise.

Pic below is DH enjoying the balcony on Navigator 7388 (deck 7 corner aft....essentially the same as Freedom class 7408 and 7708.)

 

On Voyager class ships, these balconies are 7388 and 7688.

P.S. He can give you instructions on how to hang your hammock.:D

We just love the corner balcony stateroom... just returned from FOS Western Caribbean in 7408. Can you please send instructions on how you mounted the hammock? I'd like to try that next time.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Hi Steve,

You'll love that corner aft even more with a hammock!:D (My only regret is that the hammock didn't have a built in Kindle holder and drink holder.) Buz bought the hammock on Amazon - about $20 and the name of it was La Paz something. It's woven cotton as he didn't want nylon or poly (too sweaty.) He also bought a hammock hanging kit at Academy for about $15 that supplied the ropes.

 

He's tall enough (6'1") that he was able to just kind of toss the ropes through the holes in the beams you see below. He didn't have to stand on a chair to reach the openings, but that could be done. (But use the sturdy one from inside the cabin!) This was 7388 on Navigator, but I think that Voyager class and Freedom class ships have the same structure on the aft, so it should be pretty similar on Freedom.

 

If you need more info, he'd be delighted to advise you (he's quite proud of his hammock installation!;)) you can email him at goodrich@telepath.com. (He's upstairs mudding sheetrock in our soon-to-be-redone guest bathroom right now, so I've been instructed not to interrupt him.:eek:)

I was wondering if you got any grief from your stateroom attendant about the hammock, or if they even mentioned it.
