Jean2065 Posted April 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2019 We are booked in a forward facing suite on ncl in four weeks. I've always booked on the aft balconies. Does anyone have any experience with the usability of the balcony at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Stealthdog Posted April 29, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2019 We had a forward facing on the Sun, from Miami to Santiago, Chile. Experienced both Caribbean and Pacific. It was a little windy at times, but we had no issues using it. Just make sure to lock the door when you are inside or you will have a nonstop whistling sound. Enjoy the cruise!

Jean2065 Posted April 29, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thanks for replying actually the suites on the back make sound too. Soot is a minor problem and drink cups and hats land on the balcony regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stealthdog Posted April 29, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2019 No debris/cups/trash on the front end. The view from the back is probably nicer though - in the front you will be looking down at the ship itself. It was awesome for a Panama Canal sailing though!

Jean2065 Posted April 29, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yes we were thinking the same thing. It's a vista view even tho the aft has a great view and my husband isn't particularly happy sometimes with a small back and forth motion. I'm used to it but this is a short trip and it might give us more options. The aft books up a year or so out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aft books up a year or so out. small back and forth motion That motion is felt in the aft of a ship - forward the motion is apt to be up and down more noticeable with rough rogue seas. The ships stabilizers smooth things out - the larger the ship the less motion - but watch out for piano concertos and dancing furniture in hurricane weather. True the higher deck aft balconies are booked way in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
