Crown Loft Aft (Sports Court, etc.) or Ocean view facing and why?

[CCE]

I would love input from those of you that have had a CLS as to the pros/cons of aft view (sports court, flow rider, boardwalk, etc.) or side room with ocean view.  Or which view you prefer and why?  Thanks!

Definitely the ones facing the water!  More quiet, better views, more private.  The ones that face aft people can see you on your balcony as well as you can see them.

Ocean view, even if it costs a bit more.

We had no issue with the aft facing ones. They weren't loud. But, the view stunk, even if you could see the water shows

We totally agree

I agree with everyone else.  I had an aft-facing, because it was awarded in a RoyalUp and I had no choice.  And I loved it.  But I missed facing the water a lot.  The ship was at 40% capacity, so there were rarely many people on the sports court or anywhere else.  I just missed water.

Book a CL on Wonder and you won’t even have to make  that decision

Ocean. Closer to the suite lounge!

We like to people watch so we prefer aft-facing.  It can get a little noisy though, especially when they have exercise programs on the basket ball courts in the morning.  The ocean view was too quiet for us.  I guess we're not very private people.

My wife totally agrees. I didn't think it mattered until I asked her. She went full @Lovetocruise2002 on me
