Jade - Balcony thoughts?

[CruisinEurope]

We're looking at choosing between a back aft balcony vs. a port or starboard balcony on the Jade.

 

Any thoughts regarding things we need to consider when choosing an aft cabin (totally on the rear of the ship - specifically 10168) vs. on in the middle (specifically 10584)

 

??

 

Thanks in advance!

I've been in an aft but I understand that the engines might be rather noisy. Some people enjoy the view and seeing the wake.

It's a loooonnng walk to get anywhere else on the ship from an aft cabin.

May be a long walk, but definately no vibration - just that churning sea relaxing you while you sip your evening cocktail. You would not be disappointed with the full aft suite IMO - full view of all the sights as opposed to only one side of the ship - from your own room of course. :D

Not anywhere - a quick trip up to the Great Outdoors and breakfast and down to the main dining room plus the best cabins on the ship. Out of the wind, no vibration, and a view to die for.

I am getting more and more excited!!!

 

Just saw the Jewel today - and am so happy that we chose the Back cabin (10168) - - they look HUGE!

 

Thanks for everyone's comments - - I think we've made the right decision for our family!
