need info on aft cabins please

[Cruise Vanessa]

We have never cruised on RCCL. We love Celebrity's aft cabins. I can't find much info on RCCL's aft cabins. Do they have huge balconies like Celebrity? What category are they? Are there any tips anyone can offer? Thanks.

Check out my pics from Canada and Quebec on Explorer of the Seas. It is an aft corner balcony.

All of the "afts" do have deeper balconies than the sides, but on Voyager class, the balcony doesn't go to the very edge of the ship. They're "set back" a bit, and the hull extends beyond the rail of the balcony.

 

But, the balcony will be deeper!

On the Radiance class and Vision class the aft balconies are extra large with unobstructed views.

 

On the Voyager class and Freedom class, they are extra large but there is superstructure that can obstruct the view somewhat.

 

There is no specific "aft" category. You'll find cabins in various categories on the back of the ship, depending on the class.

Which cabin has the largest balconey on Explorer 8690 or 7688:)

I keep reading about how much cruisers enjoy aft cabins. How bad is the motion for someone prone to motion sickness? I've never felt ill on a major cruise before, but then we always have a midship cabin.

7688 is a huge balcony...we loved it!

I always sail in the aft and I would consider myself prone to motion sickness. I don't think you necessarily feel more motion in the aft, sometimes you feel vibration. I have been aft many times on the Radiance class ships and also on the Voyager class. I love the view from back there and it is usually quiet as there is not a lot of foot traffic back there.

We have our first aft in february. A JS on the 10th floor. very excited about it from what i've read from every one else.

We had 7688 on the Navigator. Unbelievable balcony. We could have put a couch, recliner, and big screen tv out there with no problem. It was almost as big as the cabin. There is a large (4-5 foot) "porthole" on the side of the balcony, so not only is there an aft view, but you can also see the side. The superstructure was no big deal after the first day or so. We still had wonderful views. The motion was not a problem at all. I did not find it any worse than a midship cabin.

We also have booked an aft cabin for the first time and are also curious as to motion and size. We will be on Serenade of Seas, GS room 1600. Has anyone stayed in that room. If so, couple questions..

 

1. Is the room any smaller/larger that the rest of the Grand Suite rooms?

 

2. Is the balcony area any larger/smaller than a midship GS?

 

We have stayed in GS rooms at midship before but a friend told us if we ever get the chance for an aft cabin to grab it. This one was available on our March sailing so we took it. Know we're going to love it no matter what but just curious if there is anyone out there who has actually stayed in that room. We'll be a group of 9 for a family vacation reunion and I know we'll be using our cabin as the central gathering point so as much info as possible would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

We had an aft CC (7208) on Millennium last spring and loved it. This past November we had a corner aft E1 (7388) on Explorer and loved it. We are looking forward to two more corner aft cabins on Voyager class ships: 8390 on Adventure and 9690 on Mariner. Some day I want to book a corner aft D1 (1388 or 1688) on deck 10 of a Voyager class ship -- both cabin and balcony are oversized.

 

My TA tells me, and I think I agree, that while the aft cabins on all of these ships have wonderfully nice larger balconies, none can really compete with those aft CC cabins on Celebrity's Millennium class ships. Those are special in a whole special class:).

I have plenty of photos of Cabin 7688 on Explorer of the Seas on my cruise link under Canada and Quebec.
