My first Aft Balcony!

[DaisyGirl55]

Booked my first Aft Balcony on the Freedom....am I doomed to never be happy anywhere else again? :rolleyes:

 

Seriously, we are on the Empress deck...middle of the aft cabins....and I am looking forward to the view. Hopefully the vibrations won't be too bad. That is my only worry! :o

[bamboozel]

You are doomed!!!!! lol You will never go back to a regular balcony once you have an aft. Enjoy!!!!!:):):):)

Congrats.....we are about to have our first aft also...so in the same boat as you...CANNOT wait...:o

[ComeSailWithME]

We booked our first one too, looking forward to it! :D

[Cigar Dude]

We just booked an aft on the Freedom also! Looking forward to it. We're in 8450 and can't wait! Everyone says it's a great view and we'll love it. I don't doubt we will!

Enjoy.

We're just off Freedom and had an 8M aft on deck 7. The only time we felt vibration was when the ship was docking. Loved the larger balcony.

I had a aft cabin in march on the dream there was alot of vibration all of the time. It felt like some kept walking into the bed. The view is wonderful. So is the larger balcony but it can get very hot out there no breeze.

The view is incredible and you will love it!!!

I loved the view from the aft, but hated the heat and lack of breeze on the Triumph. It was ok to stand at the rail, but we never were able to sit and relax out there. Also like the privacy of the dividers on the sides as opposed to the aft, especially if you have annoying neighbors LOL

 

So while you will love it, you will also find reasons to justify a plain old regular balcony again in the future also. :)

We've had two aft balconies and booked a third for this coming December, and you'll never want to go back. You'll love it!

We had ours on the Conquest, loved it. However, you can go back to just a balcony, we are this year. Not like when we got our 1st ever balcony and won't go back to inside (never liked Ocean Views). The Afts are great and we'd do them again at the right price but a regular balcony is still OK.

 

We really didn't notice any vibration on the Conquest but we kinda enjoy the movement

[DUCHESSRN]

I have my first aft booked for Alaska next month ........very excited.

[PSkinner]

Is any deck better than the others? Looks like Deck 6 maybe over some clubs and deck 8 under the Lido. I am looking at the Triumph

We just booked our first one on the Dream in December, so it shouldn't be too hot. A little worried about the previous comment about the vibration, but maybe it will be nice, like a "magic fingers" bed?? LOL! So, there are not dividers on the aft balconies? No privacy? Or did I misunderstand?

I am with Lucigo. We had our first Aft on the Freedom in Jan. There was no breeze and we opened the door between ours and our neighbor/friends. It is nice to have the extra room, but no shade, no breeze and lots more movement even more so than vibration. I will save the money and do the regular balcony, so no you are not necessarily doomed. It is a personal preference. Just sayin!

Just off Freedom. There are dividers but at waist level at the railing they angle inward; I think it's to align with the deck above it. If you look for an aft photo, you will see what I mean. So if you are standing at the aft railing and look left or right, you have clear view of neighbors who may be standing at their railings. :D

So would the higher decks be better on the Glory so people cant look down on you.

You are doomed...

 

We went from an Aft Balcony on the Glory...

 

 

To a Premium Balcony on the Miracle...

 

 

Now when you book a Cruise, you will be sifting through deckplans and making calls to see what's available...
