CruiseLover15 Posted September 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) I came back Sunday from a Freedom cruise and we were lucky enough to get our first aft cabin. We were in the port side corner aft on deck 7. The balcony was great and even the walk wasn't bad. As I posted earlier, the balcony is about 11.5 x 18 feet. Here are a couple of pictures.

HaileyJordan Posted September 17, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi, great pictures! We were in 7408 twice and have a third cruise booked for it again. If Joshua is your room steward he is no nice! We had him both times. Have a great time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keasc Posted September 19, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks, I just need to figure out how to re size them.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted September 20, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2009 We have this room in November. It appears you can see onto the balcony from below - is this true? Just wondering how private it will be. We will enjoy it regardless, just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLover15 Posted September 20, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted September 20, 2009 No your picture size is great. When I was trying to take a picture I could not fit the whole balcony in one picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how private it will be. We will enjoy it regardless, just wondering. The only way you can see the people below you, or the ones above can see you, is if you're standing at the railing. If you step back two feet you can't see them & they can't see you. This is probably the most private balcony we've ever had. You'll love it. Here's another pic of the balcony. Check out the balcony for the family suite. Talk about huge.:eek: Edited September 20, 2009 by keasc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseLover15 Posted September 22, 2009 Author #14 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just curious, where is the muster station for the aft balconys, inside or out?? We did the muster drill at station D21 port side deck 4 outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyprincess Posted September 23, 2009 #16 Share Posted September 23, 2009 So if someone above you is standing at the railing, they can see into your balcony? Just curious as we don't like having to look around first to see who is out there.... We might try aft sometime but I'm not sure about the view always being the same (wake) and the metal piping around. Someone put it really well once and said it was like looking out of a football helmet. Great pictures!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks. Seems crazy that the RFS balcony costs so much more but is basically on display. From your vantage point of that photo I can see their entire lounge area! I wouldn't be thrilled with that!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you step back two feet you can't see them & they can't see you. This is probably the most private balcony we've ever had. You'll love it. Not quite totally true. We had 7708 on the Indy in March. Although 7708 is very private, and no one can see onto YOUR balcony, you can CERTAINLY see onto all balconies on the deck below (deck 6). You can easily see those balconies just standing at your railing. Of course they can see you personally, but not your balcony. I would never get a deck 6 aft balcony. Especially that family suite. Heck, I could see a portion of their hot tub just standing at my railing. Deck 8 above you cannot see your balcony at all. Very private. If you are 2 people, this is the best cabin on the ship, from JS and below (in my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
