Mike6453 Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 So.... I'm booked on radiance departing 8/5 from Seward doing a southbound cruise. Currently I have a starboard side cabin and am looking to change it to the port side. I have the option of cabin 9092 which is a hump cabin with the right side balcony having a steel wall or I can take 1604 which is a rear facing balcony cabin which i have never done before. looking for some advice thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSC Mike Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 This may not be helpful but once we were onboard the same cruise on Radiance in 2018 we realized we wouldn't have cared where our balcony was. When there was something truly worth seeing while at sea (like Hubbard Glacier) we were on deck to get a better view anyway. Just my 2c.

wstephensi Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 For southbound I recommend port side. 9092 is on the back side of the hump. Great for blocking wind, but hard to see what is ahead as the hump may block your view forward. Never stayed in a rear facing cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowTieBrigade Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 We’ve done a rear-facing balcony and you don’t get much view beside the wake unless the ship turns around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho and Barb Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 On a Alaska cruise and the inside passage…It doesn’t matter what side of the ship your on because you can see magnificent scenery on either side. We always book a starboard cabin if at all possible. We have a hammock that we always hang on our balcony and psycho would sleep out there if I would let him…He claims to see some strange things. We did one see a toilet seat float by in the Caribbean one time but that’s another story. But on our 2017 Alaska cruise…It was awesome to just sit out there and watch the land go by on the inside passage…We we’re amazed to see a log cabin out in the middle of nowhere without any roads or other signs of civilization around it. Can’t wait to go back in just 47 days fireclan and teddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
