topanga49er Posted January 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi. New to NCL. Thinking of Breakaway for 12 day southern Caribbean in Jan 14. Website says that Aft Facing Penthouse sizes range from 377 to 430 sf. Does anyone know which of the AFP is the 430 sf one? Does that mean smaller balcony? Please advise, thank you!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vondofife Posted January 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We have also booked an S6 aft penthouse suite on NCL Getaway, the 'sister ship' to NCL Breakaway. I too have been studying the deck plans and reading the literature on these cabins. It would appear that deck 12 has slightly deeper balconies (based on construction pictures of Breakaway) but I have no idea about cabin sizes. We booked deck 12 (cabin 12904) as we will be taking our son, who will be 9 at the time. Deck 12 is on the same deck as the kids club entrance. We looked on cruise deck plans website. Just need to wait until Breakaway sails later this year to find out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vondofife Posted March 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Looking at the aft pictures of the Breakaway, it would definitely appear that deck 9 aft is the biggest followed by deck 12 aft. Both deck 9 and deck 12 S6 balconies have a supporting pole in them. Check out these recent photos of the Breakaway. http://www.depping-design.de/test/thumbnails.php?album=281 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubechick Posted April 1, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The difference in size would likely be the balcony. We're in a deck 12 balcony (4 weeks from today!!) which looks huge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibcnusoon Posted April 9, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I am thinking of upgrading from a deck 14 balcony to an aft-facing for an extra $540. I have 2 cabins, total $1100 upgrade. I was aft-facing in a wrap on the Carnival Victory throughout the Caribbean and loved it. I would be happy in my BC 14th deck balcony but those afts look gorgeous, and there is availability in the HC cabin next door for my parents. Ugh, decisions!

punkincc Posted April 9, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 9, 2013 If you can swing it, i'd go for the 2 aft facing cabins. That HC cabin is huge and if you can remove the balcony divider, you will have a huge balcony right on the aft. Be careful of the deck though. I think 14 is right below the garden cafe.

brianb50 Posted April 30, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 30, 2013 So how many of the S6 guest are going to have breakfast, lunch or dinner on the balcony. I'm thinking I want to try all. The more pictures I see the happier I get about the S6 suites and the huge balconies.....Every Enjoy:D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileysmiley Posted April 30, 2013 #19 Share Posted April 30, 2013 NCL website says that the S6 comes with half a bathroom. I can't find any pictures that confirm that. Does any body know for sure?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora2143 Posted May 14, 2013 #23 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Just got off the phone with my PCC and moved to deck 9. Apparently the deck 9 aft PH suite is the 800 some odd sq ft one. He said next biggest one is deck 13. 10,11,and 12 are 505 sq ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianb50 Posted May 14, 2013 #24 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Everyone is saying 9 and 12 are the largest. 13 is the smallest. All seem fine, compared to the rest of the ship. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
