ssb Posted December 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Are the corner afts covered or open to above balconies? How much shade/sun?Are the cabins/balconies on decks 6 and 7 the same as 8 and 9? On 6&7 corner afts are covered and not open to above balconies? How much shade/sun is relative to where you are relative to sun and whete you are cruising. On TA west bound in november our cabin 7688 had sun Most of day every day there was sun. 6 doesn't have side view but 7 does . the balconies on decks 6 and 7 are not the same as 8 and 9? 7 is best 9 and 10 are partially covered but open to above Aft corners Cabins I believe are same except on 10 Edited December 23, 2013 by ssb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedhalo Posted December 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hopefully I can get these pics to post ;). We had 7688 on ExOS and 9690 on Adventure - both are corner afts and E1s. I would personally not choose the corner on deck 8 because of the door arrangment (no slider and only half glass - cabin seems to be on the dark side. Deck 9 is slightly better, still no slider but full glass door and huge port hole. As you see, deck 9 is much more open and visible from above. Deck 7 is very covered but HUGE!!

CRUSINGFAMILY Posted December 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yes deck seven is the best, we did Voyager transatlantic and we loved it. Check out this link. http://voyager-class.com/pictures/cabins/aft_73887688/gallery.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxgoodrich Posted December 23, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 23, 2013 This is 7388 on Navigator….:D (7688 would be the same, just on the port side instead of starboard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinlady1947 Posted December 23, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Here's my pics from the Explorer cabin #7688. Even put up Christmas lights (battery operated, of course). Just got off the ship yesterday. I would take that cabin any day. Just loved it. Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esilef Posted December 24, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Is 1388/1688 really that much better than 7688/7388? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxgoodrich Posted December 24, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 24, 2013 OK...that did it....booked 7688:D Any problem bringing the hammock on board and finding someplace/way to attach it? We have one we could bring. No problem at all bringing it - ours packs into a bag and weighs about 3 pounds. It was packed in a big suitcase. DH got a hammock hanging kit at Academy (the blue ropes you see in the pics.) As for hanging it, there are holes in the beams that he ran the ropes through. He was able to just toss/poke/push the rope through the openings, but you could stand on a chair if you had to. Then all you have to do is tie some good knots. Have fun - you'll enjoy your hammock!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
