Colts88 Posted January 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'm looking for pictures of aft balconies. I am specifically looking for room 8334 on the Destiny but any Carnival ship will do. Any info. about aft balconies would be wonderful. This is our first balcony, and we are so excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted January 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I saw your inquiry and thought I'd respond that we will be in an aft balcony on Destiny on Jan. 31 and I'd let you know. Then I checked my cabin number....we are staying in 8334!! What a coincidence!! So I'll definitely let you know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colts88 Posted January 2, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thank you very much! I can't wait to hear the details. Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflycruise Posted January 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I stayed in an aft balcony on Valor last year and loved it!!!! The balcony is larger and had a lounge chair. The view was wonderful. Have already booked an aft on Pride for this Aug. After doing an aft is will be hard to go back. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long4theocean Posted January 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The aft balconies are our very favorite. We try to book an aft for each cruise. I have pictures that I will try to get posted for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted January 2, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2009 You'll love it! We were on the Triumph last time (same class ship), and had one of the afts next to the 9A on the Veranda deck. Not only was it deeper, but 1/3 wider than the rest! On the Destiny they would be 8330,8335. If you can snag one of those, do it! Try to find some aft pictures of the ship, and you'll see. None of the printed deck plans show this!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted January 2, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2009 the afts are bigger then a side balcony. Its a further walk to the food/pools but the halls are quieter back here. Its warmer then a side one-- gone are the ocean breezes that the side ones have-- keep your curtains closed during the day to keep the cabin cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOTTE Posted January 3, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I don't know if this helps you or not, but here is a picture of the back of the ship. We had the aft wrap on the upper deck (6373) and it was awesome. You can't beat the view from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itstime Posted August 5, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2011 We have the last three aft cabins on the Destiny for a family cruise. We were told that 7331 and 7329 have a connecting balcony door but that the balcony of 7327 does not connect to them. Looking at the picture above it looks like the three of them could connect - does anyone know if they do connect? It also looks like the corner aft wrap connects up with 7327 but we were told it did not. Has anyone been in aft wrap 7325 and does it connect to the aft beside it? We didn't book it specifically because it didn't connect to the aft balcony beside it. Was thinking of moving up to the 8th floor but will stay if the 3 balconies can connect.

The divider on the aft balcony next to the wrap around can not be opened as it will block the cabin door- safety issue. the wrap on deck 8 can open the divider to the aft balcony next to it because it will NOT block the cabin door. (but then you get the chance of chair scrapping noises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobucks_43228 Posted August 5, 2011 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2011 We had 7449 on the Freedom a couple of weeks ago. It was our first aft. We LOVED the view and the walk to the back wasn't bad at all. I will admit I felt and heard the vibration every time we docked. My husband slept through it all. I'm not sure it was enough to deter me from booking again but it was an annoyance. Also check out cruise line rooms dot com and you can look for pictures of your ship or sister ships.

darth frosty Posted August 5, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I had 7330 aft on the destiny (right in the middle) you can check my review below to see the pics. I also took some pics from the lido above looking down into our balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itstime Posted August 5, 2011 #14 Share Posted August 5, 2011 all dividers opens- they have to open so the balconies can be cleaned.the middle does not have a divider=-=its a metal partition. So it looks like the three cabins aft beside the wrap around do open to each other and we should be good to go! We were told by Carnival that only 2 of the balconies connected so if the 3rd one also opens that will be a huge bonus! :) The divider on the aft balcony next to the wrap around can not be opened as it will block the cabin door- safety issue. makes sense - thought I must have been missing something - thanks! the wrap on deck 8 can open the divider to the aft balcony next to it because it will NOT block the cabin door. (but then you get the chance of chair scrapping noises I read a review that said the aft wrap on deck 8 did not open and it is a metal partition (I can't really tell from the picture) - they were dissapointed because they were travelling with a couple in the aft next to them and were planning to have the two balconies open - so that one was out for us.
