Jill Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 So we booked Mariner 2 weeks ago for a quick cruise in 2 weeks. We decided to try the guaranteed balcony and I’m not too happy with what they gave us. It’s an obstructed view too. Anyone had a cabin here? Was it awful? It’s on the very end.

WAAAYTOOO Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Actually, those aft cabins are highly prized. I think you scored a winner ! Yes, there is superstructure that blocks some of the views but in most cases (all, if I am not mistaken), the balconies on those aft rooms are giant. I think you may have a stumbled onto a real bonus. Neesa, Hoski, CoupleOfCruisers and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnetteJackson Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I love the back of the ship! Yes there are some poles and metal in the way of a clear view out, but the view of the water churning behind the ship - very few get to see that! Corners are the best as the balconies are huge! Deck 6 is not the best since you are looking out at the blue area with the logo BUT still you can look out and see the ocean. This is a view from deck 7 aft corner room Hoski, Mrs. RoyalMoyal, Neesa and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRebecca Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 we had GTY Balcony on Navigator last month and ended up with a corner aft balcony (6688 on the opposite corner I think) and could not have been happier! We were on deck 6 which is less sought after and were still so happy with our cabin. Happy Sailing! Jill and Hoski 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFL Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I chose one of these aft corner deck 10 cabins on purpose after watching some youtube videos... room is big and huge balcony! Hoski and Jill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well yippee then! I called my TA (Sharla at MEI) and she sent me a video of the balcony on Voyager. She had a corner aft in Alaska and loved it! So now I’m happy! Lol Thank you everyone! I’ll report back in a few weeks!

twangster Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 If I booked GTY and got an aft balcony I'd be buying lottery tickets! So jealous! Jill, Baked Alaska, JLMoran and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxFan Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 One thing about 8390 is that is does not have the standard sliding door IIRC. It has a hinged door and a round window looking out onto the balcony. One thing to note is you will do some walking These cabins are a ways form the elevator/stairs. it wasn't an issue for us but if you have mobility issues you want to take that into consideration.

I would GLADLY take that room! You guys are going to have an absolutely gorgeous view!!! I think you owe the person that gave you that room a free lunch!

SpeedNoodles Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I booked one of those corner aft on both Navigator and Rhapsody - on purpose!! I'd be thrilled. Jill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
