manchak99 Posted September 24, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2009 didn't know there were different types of balcony rooms....when i purchased our cruise that's coming up this saturday on the EOS. We only were interested in getting a middle room on a middle floor to avoid the motion of the boat;) we're on 7752......is this a good spot?

pepsicruiser Posted September 24, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It's definitely not aft. Aft are the rooms that are on the very rear of ship that face out to the back of ship seeing the wake of ship. You are on the side mid way between midship and front. If you go to rccl.com and look for "planning cruise...ships...explorer...deck plans" you will find your room. You should learn to check out locations of room before you book. Sometimes you wish to be close to center/mid ship, or elevator etc. You will be the one to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooked-on-travel Posted September 24, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Aft means back of the ship. If it's an aft balcony, you'll be watching where you've been. By asking for a middle cabin (assuming you didn't want to walk so far to get to the things at the front of the ship...which is a fine plan...) then you don't have an aft room.

cb at sea Posted September 24, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Never book without the deck plans in front of you, so you'll KNOW what you're paying for!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchak99 Posted September 24, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have confirmed that this being a closed loop cruise that we do NOT need a passport and a birth certificate and Driver's Lic is just fine. I read this and verbally confirmed with an RCCL agent (twice). I specifically looked for a middle cabin both deckwise and location on the floor. But, when reading about aft cabins, was just curious as to what this actually was. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest draw for aft cabins is a mucher bigger balcony for the same price as the side balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshortchef Posted September 24, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 24, 2009 You do need a passport (or a passport card) for Bermuda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An aft stateroom is a room that is near, toward or located on the stern of the ship. Not all aft staterooms are created equal. Those on the stern are highly coveted. They overlook the wake and the balconies are larger. If you have noticed your luggage tag will have AFT on it when you are in a stateroom that is located towards the back of the ship. And for Bermuda, a birth certificate (not the hospital issued one) and your drivers license is all you need. Annieeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehfl Posted September 25, 2009 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The cruise line web site has deck plans....you can see whether your cabin is forward, aft, or midships. Don't be afraid to check out the cruise line web site...there's lots of great information there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
