Aft Question??? HELP!!!

[fairydustca]

I have a question about HAL- Oosterdam afts. If anyone has sailed in any of these cabins, I would love to hear from you.

 

We just returned from Carnival and had a Riviera OV aft 2471. As many on this board, we loved the aft location, so we just booked an extended aft balcony on the Oosterdam, cabin VA7127 for a Dec. cruise to Mexico. This balcony should be huge, and I am very thrilled.

 

My question is: It states that these aft balconies are "56 feet to stern". Does this mean we will be so far away from the back of the ship, that we won't have a good water view? :eek: Would we be better off moving down to a much lower deck so that we are closer to the stern?:confused:

Thanks!!

You might get more answers if you post this over on the HAL board.

 

Just a suggestion.

:o Thanks, Michelle. I did that and also posted in Cabin Selection. Hopefully, I will hear from some cruisers.

Thanks!

If you want to be able to look more or less down into the water then by all means move down. You will get a good overview of things where you are including the balconies below you.

You could also do a search on http://www.webshots.com for that ship. I found pictures of other "afts" that way. It is amazing the different ways these ships are configured!

I had a corner aft suite on the Zuiderdam. We loved the extra verandah space and the location. If you have a walking problem, this may not be the location you want to be as it can be a long walk to certain areas of the ship.
