bzv143 Posted October 18, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Getting ready to book a cabin on Norwegian Sun for a Denmark to USA transatlantic next September to celebrate DH's 60th. Need help! Should I book a foreward or aft suite? Will the aft be just as windy as a foreward? Any suggestions on a great suite to choose? Right now the choice is terrific, so I want to grab, grab, grab. THANKS!!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Once A Nurse Posted October 18, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Will the aft be just as windy as a foreward? :o That's the best thing about an aft suite - shelter from the wind. You aren't plowing into the wind and mist so you can enjoy your balcony while underway without feeling like you'll be blown off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS!!! :o Forward is only (more) desirable when docked in port for extended periods of time. Once moving, the Aft is the way to go. Not to mention that the motion in the ocean will be felt more up front than in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single Cruiser Posted October 18, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Don't forget it's Westbound so any true aft suites would be in shade after noon.. If you mean side aft then as others have said less pitch movement but look where you are likely to be going to/from on the ship and choose nearest that stairwell/elevator bank! Also westbound you would want port side to get best sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired rascal Posted October 18, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2011 We have been in both an Owners Suite [forward facing] and Penthouse [aft]. For a transatlantic I would NOT consider a forward suite....the balcony would be downright inhospitable at cruising speeds in the open ocean. Aft is very protected....you don't feel "weather." The forward suites get quite a bit of bumps up and down when there are swells. We did experience some 'vibration' in the aft suite. Hope this helps.
