masonpips Posted January 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Yikes, this is so scary! We've done Disney 3 times and want to try something else. Will we be happy w/the aft balcony? From the research I've done, it looks huge! We're on the 10/16 cruise which I know is also a group cruise. I ended up booking through a well-know online agency as they were offering a Target gift card + a Mastercard benefit - and there seem to be no other "deals" with RCCL out there due to what I'm seeing as a standard pricing thing. Can't wait; need to figure out the countdown calendar next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortoni Posted January 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Youll love the aft balcony--they are huge and very private. A bit of a walk back to your room, but it helps to walk off the desserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappledumpling Posted January 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I have the same cabin booked for May 22nd. If ya want pictures or questions answered let me know and I can email or post them for you in June when i get back. We have been on 2 disney cruises and this will be our 5th RCCL cruise (but our first on the Mariner). We would have booked disney again but the magic will be in california during the summer months.. (we have been on several other lines but our 2 favorites are rccl and disney) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masonpips Posted January 22, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I would LOVE any pictures afterwards! And I'd like your impression of the cabin itself as to the walk to the elevator, being aft in the ship, etc. Thanks so much! Have a great cruise!

HUG18 Posted October 31, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I am afraid to book the aft cabin on the 7th deck because it looks like you cannot see straight down in to the water like on balconies on the side. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clott Posted October 31, 2005 #11 Share Posted October 31, 2005 You can't see straight dowm to the water. From deck 7 you will see a huge gray area on dek 6 I think but not sure. We had js on deck 10 and still could not see straight down. We were disappointed as that is what we like to do. We did enjoy the big balcony but would not do it again just for the balcony.

steffie Posted October 31, 2005 #12 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Glad to hear a little info on this. I was so excited to get an aft balcony again, I am not sure I want to try and move. We haven't had one since our very first cruise. I am just concerned about the steel beams I keep hearing about. I don't really worry about looking straight down into the water but I would hate for it to be hard to see anything. I then thought about upgrading to a Grand Suite but I just don't know if it is worth the money or not. (I know it is not aft) The aft was so nice on our first cruise. It was quiet, wonderful views. It was on Carnival. Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
