Branderson610 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hi, I found a room with a huge balcony in the aft section of the boat. I have heard mixed reviews, about the aft, like it is a rough ride and lots of noise. Is the aft section really that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you are sandwiched between two cabin floors you are gonna love it!! I love aft corner cabins!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one reason I'm considering sticking with my June cruise on Adventure that was supposed to go to Canada, but will likely go to Bermuda -- I got an aft corner, and I'm really psyched about it!

SpeedNoodles Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I had one directly under the Windjammer last December (Navigator). We never heard a thing from it. The only thing was they kept the music on up by the Flowrider all night long - we could only hear it if we went out onto the balcony, but it was on all night long.

PRebecca Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 We got an aft balcony on Navigator and loved it.

RCVoyager Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Under no circumstance should anyone book an aft balcony on any ship. As a service to all of mankind, when I cruise, I will think of the other person first and take the aft balcony off of someone else's hands. It's a heavy price for me as just one humble individual to pay, but someone's got to do it. TIC of course. Aft balconies are the bomb.

HeWhoWaits Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 For us, an aft balcony is worth a 10% premium on the equivalent cabin somewhere else. Sadly, our Coronavirus-cancelled Grandeur trip this year was an aft JS. Not easy to come by. WAAAYTOOO and Chadster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadster Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Okay, here's a question: I've currently got an aft corner balcony on Adventure for June. There are aft junior suites available. Small price difference ($90). Worth it, or aft corner > junior suite not in the corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly larger cabin, walk in closet (most ships), bath tub (most ships), priority boarding on day 1. Corner aft is nice, center aft is also very nice.

Still, that's definitely nothing to sneeze at (though if I did, I'd be sure to practice proper protocols...). I'm definitely thinking I'll grab the JS then. I originally wasn't too keen on the thought of my cruise going to Bermuda or the Bahamas instead of Canada, but I figure I'll treat them as sea days, and just schedule an actual Canada cruise later. I can do that on Grandeur (or Enchantment, depending on when I go) or Empress so I can explore different ship classes. If this cruise ends up being canceled, then it's canceled. If not, I'll be taking the modified itinerary in style! PRebecca, Baked Alaska, JLMoran and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 We enjoyed our corner aft balcony on Mariner last October. We booked kind of last minute so did a guaranteed balcony and that’s what we got. Chadster and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like OBC something if it does sail. I just got notice of the expected itinerary change since I'm supposed to go to Canada. We're doing the New England ports, and then we'll head south for an overnight in Bermuda. They're offering the 125% FCC or 100% refund if you wanna cancel, and if you press on with your sailing, $250 for interior, oceanview, or balcony rooms...or $450 for suites -- and the OBC is refundable. I guess I upgraded at just the right time! Lovetocruise2002, RCVoyager and JLMoran 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
