Du vent dans les voiles Posted January 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hi, Never had an aft cabin before, always regular verandas, is it a good idea for a TA?

RuthC Posted January 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2023 For those of us who prefer shade, then this would be a nice area, especially if you want to try a stern cabin anyway. It should be fairly well sheltered from the sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kochleffel Posted January 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Not a TA, but I had an aft cabin for a cruise that had more sea days than planned (this was my infamous Bermuda Triangle cruise where we docked for only one day) and it was very pleasant for all those sea days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted January 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Aft cabins are my favorite. One advantage is you can watch the scenery on both sides of the ship. It is also out of the wind when sailing, an excellent place to relax. We did a transatlantic Barcelona to Ft Lauderdale in November, loved it. Favorite port was Madeira, beautiful island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelholics Posted January 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Anogther fan of aft cabin but hard to get as very popular. We were on the TA from Barcelona last Fall and loved it! We had a port balcony on deck 7 but found it very hot and too bright to read! Next time we will go Starboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelexpert35 Posted January 10, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Love aft cabins too. We did a Transpacific from Vancouver to Tokyo and we enjoyed the aft cabin location. I was glad I wasn’t in the bow of the ship as it was moving quite a bit for a few days when we had rough weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
