? Aft balconies on Freedom

[EeyoreFan1967]

Looking at the deck plans, it seems like there might be some metal covering over the balconies on the aft of the Freedom? Does anyone have experience with this and or photos...or can you point me in the direction of the photos?

 

Thanks!

There is quite a bit of ship superstructure on the aft end of Voyager and Freedom class ships. Generally the higher you go, the less view obstruction.

 

This is from Voyager, but is very similar to Freedom:

Note that the stateroom numbers are different for Freedom.

Bummer! Why, oh why did they build it like this? (Rhetorical question, frustration lol)

 

But thanks!

The higher deck you are on, the less structure in the way. Deck 10 is not bad. I like aft cabins, but on Voyager an Freedom class there is too much ship obstructing the view, IMHO.

100 percent agree. Even deck 10 I don't care for. I like being able to look straight down to the water.

Here are a couple of shots from aft 7412. I much prefer a hump balcony on this class ship.

Great pics, shows how obstructed the views are. I agree, give me a hump over an aft any day on a Voyager or Freedom class ship.

Thank you all for your input. It looked like there would be too much obstruction from the deck plans, but I didn't want to believe it!! Truffles2 those pics are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting this! What can you see from inside the cabin looking out the door? Is there a view from inside or mostly metal?

Not sure if this helps.....

It was like half metal / half railing.

 

The view from the balcony was high enough to miss the obstruction that the other balconies receive.

 

 

This is view from deck 7 aft corner on Explorer which has the same steel structure in the back.

I'm sure I could live with either of these rooms! Thanks for sharing your beautiful pics!

Deck 7 and 10 corner afts are usually the first to go.....but worth the effort of searching the itineraries.

Oh, aft cabins on Voyager and Freedom class ships are AWFUL.

 

Don't EVER book them.

 

And what's more, they are HAUNTED.

 

Yep, that's the ticket.

 

They're HAUNTED.

In fact, Voyager class and Freedom class, except for the numbering, are completely identical on the aft.

 

All of the changes are in the middle. They are just longer. (They = Freedom class)

I ain't afraid of no ghost.......

 

The corner aft cabins on these ships with their balconies make up for the super structure (and the ghosts)

We have the port side/mirror image of this cabin for our upcoming cruise and are so excited about it!

My late husband had to pry my hands off the railing to get me off the ship after we had 1700. Come to think of it, he probably had to do the same thing when we had a deck 7 corner.

 

I do find that I notice the superstructure less when I am in a corner aft. However, I do find that I get "used to it" and that it bothers me less the longer I cruise in one.
