maryd123 Posted February 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi All, I'm taking my second ever cruise and bringing husband for his first ever cruise with me. Last time I cruised I had small balcony room on side of ship, would have preferred a larger balcony, which is why I chose Aft with longer option. Also neither of us get seasick and I wanted all the open vista. I think I chose right, but hmm....anyone out there been on this ship and stayed Aft? Thanks for your thoughts.

serene56 Posted February 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2012 your balcony will look similar to this: and your cabin similar to this: for the money of the aft-- which costs more then the extended balcony I would have taken the extended balcony- cabin will look the same- its the balcony your are paying for. We have stayed aft many times-- but the price is now higher then what is offered. Aft balconies do not get ocean breezes and tend to stay warm. Aft balconies are not even semi private-- the dividers sit at an angle. the best extended balcony for 2 people is 7258 or 8232 (and no long walk to the stairs/elevators either. http://www.travelingnuts.com/2011cruise/images/DSCN0188.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryd123 Posted February 10, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks for your response, I appreciate your advise! I thought I DID get an extended balcony, so I will call Carnival and ask for clarification. If possible, I'll move my room if they allow it for the extended balcony, which is actually more important than being aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted February 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2012 8270 IS an extended balcony- when comparing it to a standard one the cabins across the back of the ship are one of the highest category cabins BEFORE the suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
