Lefty888 Posted April 21, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I should know this by now, but I don't. I just rec'd my docs (whoo:D hoo) and the tags say verandah "aft". I thought the aft cabins were the ones in the very back back. We are in the back 1/3 of the boat but not the very back. Does aft just mean the back 1/2? I am confused. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPete Posted April 21, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The ship is split in three's or two's Aft/fore Aft/midship/fore So it's just referencing you are either in the back half of the ship, or the back third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted April 21, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Go to the Carnival website and look up the deck plan, you will know where your cabin is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poop deck of a sailing ship has absolutely no connection with a certain bodily function. from http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-poop-deck.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused. :confused: Foreward.....Pointy end....... Aft....round end....... As one poster put...can be midships also....center...... Anything past a certen point is aft....if no midships is involved..... Then again if you are heading towards the round (aft or stern) and go past the middle point of the ship......... OK....I'm lost......LOL...... Where was I going.......???????:p It gets really confusing when they turn the ship around....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted April 22, 2007 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2007 What ship and what cabin #? If you go to the CCL website, click on your ship, then on "decks" and scroll to your deck, you can locate your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
