dettlja Posted August 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Anyone ever stayed in this location? I just upgraded my cove (2284) to this aft extended balcony on my 9/22 6 day. I hope I did the right thing! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendo13 Posted August 23, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Nice room. Your balcony has enough room for a lounge chair on it. Much nice than the cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaach Posted August 24, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2013 My Dh and I were in the aft next to the wrap on the Breeze last May. The aft cabins next to the wraps are very small, compared to the middle aft cabins on Empress deck. Our cabin had a chair, but no couch. I have had several aft cabins on diff. ships, but this one was way too small. Also there is no shade on the balcony, totally sun 90% of the day. Loved the S. Carib., but I would def. pick another cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Aft Wrap on the Dream right below Lido Deck. The room was smaller, but we never use the couch so we didn't mind. That's all we were missing that I recall. The trade off was having a huge balcony. Ours was pretty much completely private. I'd take that trade any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dettlja Posted August 25, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Mlipreston I'm bummed to hear your experience. The one we upgraded to is immediately next to an aft wrap. I heard the balconies on those were a bit bigger but now I'm Worried about the room size. I think for another $120 or so we could move to a spa balcony. Maybe we should do that.

kicia Posted August 25, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I know that the aft facing cabins next to the aft wrap on some ships are smaller than a regular cabin but the balcony is about 1 1/2 times larger than the other aft balconies. That is why we chose a location a couple of cabins from the aft wrap on the Dream next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIENA6334 Posted August 26, 2013 #14 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The aft extended balconies next to the wraps are 1/3 larger than the other afts on the veranda and vista decks only. I have been told the rooms are a bit larger also. We had one of those on conquest last year and had 4 chairs, 2 tables and plenty of room left.

Karen_N Posted August 26, 2013 #15 Share Posted August 26, 2013 We just got off today. While I loved our Cove Balcony 2310, I had issues with the amount of traffic in the halls on deck 2. Since the aft cabin will have very little traffic other than those going to their cabin it would be my choice for a future cruise. It seems like deck 2 is often used as a bypass since 3 and 4 mid are blocked by the Sapphire Dining Room. Studying deck plans, next time I would book a starboard deck 7 aft or forward balcony on the side, just to try and reduce noise and foot traffic.
