NoWhiners Posted February 22, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Not an appreciable difference, in my opinion. After a corner aft, we prefer the most centered aft. We've been in Radiance class 9256 (X 3) , 1102, 1104 and 1602 . I have to disagree with those who state you will have shade every day. While the balcony has covering from the deck above, if the sun is behind the ship, the balcony will be in full sun and can be hot. Depending on the direction of the ship and where the sun is, most, of not all cabins will get some direct sun. ENJOY M Thanks. I know if the ship is pointed certain directions, we won't get shade but I think we will have enough to get by. Never had an aft cabin before so this is very exciting!!

You should find shade no matter what the sun throws at you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccotting Posted February 22, 2016 #30 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We, like the other posters, have had aft on more than 1 ship. It's important to note what the configuration is above you. We had one cruise where we did back to back. First cruise, no noise. Second cruise a 7 am fitness class on the spa deck woke us every morning. The class was offered both cruises but the first batch of cruisers were more late sleepers! Shade is really dependant on time of day and direction of ship. Overall we love these cabins and we are not alone, grab it while you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that will keep noise down. as long as wet some shade during the day, we can cope. And those long walks to/from the elevators will balance out the food ;)! We did grab it, and got some perks too. Now the waiting begins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the good thoughts and all your help, couldn't have done it without you! Perks were good--should cover our drinks. Now we have to wait a year, but it's a good problem to have. Have fun in August ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riff Sniff Posted February 25, 2016 #38 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know if they have a lounger in the bigger aft balconies? Both times we've had aft balconies (9256 & 1104), we had two lounge chairs, two regular chairs and a small table. I included a picture of the cabin 1104 balcony on the Brilliance.

gonow61 Posted June 7, 2016 #42 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I can get 7174, 7176 or 7674. Are these all the same or is one better than another? Thx ML We are looking at these same cabins( other decks all gone). Has anyone got any comments regarding these cabins. Is there any noise from the bars underneath. I also noticed there seems to be a projection just below the cabins, I assume giving shade to the public rooms underneath, is this a problem? Thanks in advance for any feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted June 7, 2016 #43 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I would go with 7674. The stage in the lounge below is on the port side of the ship so there is less noise on the starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
