Are the AFT balcony cabins worth the $? Any privacy?

 

I really love aft balcony cabins, but they are pricey. On an Alaska cruise, we splurged & had an aft balcony. Ours was on the deck that was right below the out door buffet. It was awful. Almost every day we had some nit wit that wanted to feed the fish throw bread or french fries down on us & I would have to go up there and let them know that we were not hungry, LOL. Garbage from the buffet would be on our balcony every morning & that's was yucky. Also, we had some rainey days, and at least on our balcony, we had a little strip of shelter & the rest was exposed to the elements.

I don't know about the lower aft balconies, so do some research before you book. I wish I had. The aft balconies can be great if you choose wisely

Minimal privacy on the Sun aft facing balconies ....

 

 

Here is a little more straight on view of sister ship Sky

 

 

We really enjoyed our two cruises on the Sun. Love the front observation lounge with outside balcony and the great outdoors in the aft.

We were just on the Sun in an aft cabin. We loved it. If you sit in the chair against the cabin wall you can't be seen from above. However, standing at the rail you are open to anyone standing at the rail above you. Also. if your side neighbors are standing at their railing, they can also see you.

 

The view from these cabins is great, however one other word of warning. On port days, the aft thrusters start up anywhere from 5am to 6am and it really shakes those aft cabins.

 

We really liked the cabin though and found it to be a very convenient location.
