Aft cabins

[beachdiamonds]

We had 1688 on our last 9 day cruise on Explorer. Of course its not available on our next sailing. :( We have a choice of the following aft cabin and associated balconies. Which would you choose and why?

 

Cabins

 

7688

8692

9392

 

Note that there will be just 2 of us. Also I have looked at voyager-class.com but wanted others opinions as well.

 

Thanks!

All seem to have the passenger deck below and above, which is my qualification. If you like the library, then pick deck 7. I wouldn't pick deck 9 unless you qualify for the concierge lounge. With tablets, the internet cafe on deck 8 isn't as critical. On Navigator, it had been converted into a cafe/art show.

We prefer 7692. It's quiet, has the massive balcony, and the 7th floor is centrally located. (I like to take the stairs if possible) So, based on your list, I would take 8692.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

We booked an Aft on Explorer for next March.

Did you get a fair amount of sun on deck 7 balcony? 7688 has the huge balcony and huge port hole window. I just want to be sure that we get some sun as it appears the higher you go up the more sun your balcony gets.

7688. Had it in Dec. and the balcony is to die for.

I also agree with 7688, huge balcony. You can also try to see if 1388, 1690 or 1390 are available.

We had this cabin on Explorer to Bermuda, and the balcony is larger than the cabin. We loved it! Definitely a piece of prime real estate for this class of ships!!

No, we didn't get a lot of sun. OTOH, that's not a priority for me. In fact, it might even be a plus. One other thing we like is there is not a lot of wind when the ship is moving.

 

FWIW, this is the only cabin that we will have had on multiple ships...Explorer and Adventure.

I thought all the dividers were solid on the Explorer?

The Balconies on the side have solid dividers

Must be a senior moment...I thought they were all steel. I like the glass better...I'll be there next week so now it's even nicer. ;-)
