Aft cabins on Grand

[Luvmyrotti]

We're considering booking an aft suite on the Grand for a 2015 Hawaii sailing. I've been reading about the leaks at the aft (reportedly as a result of the removal of Skywalkers) and the resultant mildew issues in aft cabins. Can anyone with direct experience with sailing in these cabins share details?

Yikes! I have an aft Vista Suite booked on the Grand for Alaska.

 

I would very much like to hear of any leaking/ mildew problems. I hope this will be OK.

 

Thanks for asking the question, Luvmyrotti.

We really enjoyed the Grand the last time we sailed on her, but that was in a mid-ship mini. I've only recently seen a few posts with concerns about the leaks in the aft cabins that have made me want to know more before we book an aft suite.

Thanks for the good thoughts on the Grand, otherwise.

 

Let's hope we get some reports on the aft cabins.

Just hope for a dry cruise.

Never heard about this. I hope someone with knowledge on this topic will comment.

Just hope for a dry cruise.

 

That doesn't take care of any mold/mildew issues that may already be in the cabin.

We were in C753 - not a suite, but a corner balcony in January for a 15 day trip to Hawaii. No issues with mold or mildew, and would be very happy to be in that cabin again.

We have been in both D736 and D737 multiple times on the Grand and really like those cabins.

Thanks for this good news:)

 

D736 is the cabin I have reserved.

 

Thanks so much!

Excellent! This is great! Thanks so much!

 

Aloha and mahalo :)

Love C-753.

Love C-753.

 

Thanks! I am so relieved to hear these multiple favorable reports about the aft cabins. Very reassuring.

Love C-753.

 

We have C752 (port corner aft) booked on the Grand for May 13 (C753 is the starboard corner aft) and we are REALLY looking forward to this cabin. We are not worried at all. We just wish we were leaving sooner. :D

And staying on longer! :D

We're looking at C751, which is right next door. You've sailed in C753 since the removal of Skywalkers then? With no leaks or mildew smells? If so, I'll be much relieved and happy! Thanks to all for sharing their experiences!

The review that mentioned mildew was from someone staying on the highest deck fully aft. That is the top deck aft. We did have a roof leak when we stayed aft on that deck. I doubt there would be a leak caused by sky walkers removal on the Carib deck. We also have c752 booked for an upcoming Hawaii cruise and we have no concerns at all.

Thanks for the reassurances Mina!

Thanks for helping us aft cruisers to understand this situatiion.

 

And, for a fellow Hawaii cruiser, I must say "mahalo" :)
