Radio, thanks for the beautiful pictures today! The helicopter and bridge ones are exquisite!

Hope the seas get calmer for you and the casino stays friendly!

Cheryl

Hope the Casino is "Radio friendly"!!

Cheryl

Bon Voyage to all!!!

Cheryl

Meg, have a fantastic cruise!!

Radio, have a wonderful trip! I'm glad you decided to do your live report!

Wish I was joining you in person,

Cheryl

I prefer Port. It's much more private. Also, if the ship parks backwards, you would be facing the dock.

Enjoy!!

No problem Reader!

I'll get her ready for you!!!!!

Cheryl

Reader, here you go!!!!

Cheryl

Cheryl how nice of you, have a wonderful cruise!:D

 

Reader

Thanks Reader!!!

Cheryl :)

This is a great thread ! We will try our first aft in Nov, Jewel of the seas-7674:D

 

Any one have a picture they care to share ? :)

 

Reader

I'll be on the Jewel in August! I couldn't get an aft :( but one of our group has one so i'll try and take a picture for you.

Cheryl

I didn't even end up going on that cruise unfortunately but I have aft cabin 7690 booked on the Explorer next March so if anyone has pictures of that room, I'd love to see it!

Ohhhhh, I was in that room in 2010 and the balcony was wonderful!!! I'll see if I have any pictures of it!

Cheryl

Thanks Lois! I appreciate that information.

I've heard people on here talking about Hotwire and better bidding as well. Are they all sites that will give you better rates than going to the hotel's website?

Thanks, Cheryl

Last night I got this deal on Priceline for San Juan:

 

10/06/13

1 night

2 rooms

4 star

 

Started bid at $80. That got rejected so I went to $90. That got rejected. So I went to $100 and that was accepted for San Juan Water and Beach Club Hotel.

I love San Juan Water and Beach Hotel! It is wonderful!!!!!

I've never done anything on Price Line. How does it work and is it reliable?

I'm leaving on the Jewel near the end of August.

Thanks,

Cheryl

Awwwww! I was in 7690 on my last cruise! Loved it!!!!

Cheryl

Once you've sailed an aft, you'll never go back!!!

Enjoy!!!!

There's another site and its free. I'll be home by the weekend and I will look for it then.

The site is: http://www.voyager-class.com

You can go onto it and see the exact room on any of the voyager class ships.

7692 was a lovely room with a bathtub and a large balcony. There is a sight you can go to that will show you all the rooms on the explorer class ships. I'm not able to pull it up right now, but I'm sure someone here will be able to tell you.

Cheryl

7690 and 7390 are E1 cabins. My choice would be to waitlist for 7388 or 7688 (had 7688 on ExOS and loved it:D). Had to settle for 9690 on our upcoming AOS trip since the deck 7 corners weren't available and I don't like the deck 8 corners:p - it's a tough life:o

Karen, 7692 would then be the Junior Suite. My top preference would be 7688 as well, but I definitely like the AFT on 7 better than the other floors. Definitely not on Deck 6. One of my friends had 6690 and it was awful!

Any idea how cabin 7692 compares on EOS? Ive never sailed with Royal Caribbean so I have nothing to compare it to. We have that cabin for Thanksgving this year and hoping for a super huge balcony. Love the hammock idea.

Is 7692 the Junior suite? I was in the 2nd aft cabin on Explr and I can't remember if it was 7690 or 92, it wasn't the suite. The both had huge balconies! Not as big as the aft corner, but really big!!!! Enjoy!

Cheryl

Actually they do and they are great corner afts - but Aqua suites are a little out of our league (unless grandson doesn't really need a college fund :p;):D).

Way out of my league also!! Guess i'll have to stay on the Freedom Class and below to sail AFT! :rolleyes:

Kim thanks those are great pictures! I'm so sorry that the Allure and Oasis have no AFTS!

Cheryl

Hi Cheryl...small world indeed.:D

We live about 6 miles outside the city and have been here in the southwest for 16 years. Love it here.:)

Prior to that we lived for a few years in Seattle, our youngest son was born there. Loved it there too.:)

 

I messed up the cabin number on my previous post...we have just grabbed corner aft 9256 on Brilliance in September.

I love going home to Bristol! I have Aunts, Uncles and Cousins by the dozens there. My Mum was born in Bedminster, but I also have family in Fishponds, Clevedon, Weston Super Mare, etc. One cousin lives in Ashington (near Worthing), W. Sussex. Love it there also!

Enjoy your cruise, you will love your corner aft and become hooked on them!!!

Cheryl

It's a small world!!!! My Mum was born in Bristol and my whole family live there!!! I pop across the pond twice a year to visit them!!

Enjoy your cruises and I hope you get an AFT!

Cheryl

WOW!!!!

I am so impressed!!!!

Thanks for being such a good samaritan.
