Terpsfan1 Posted May 31, 2010 #152 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Carnival Pride - Aft Balcony for Cabin 7300:) I am pretty excited after seeing your pictures! Last night, my travel agent called to say there had been a price drop on the Pride July 4 cruise. However, since I had not booked Early Saver, they would not give me any OBC . Instead they were willing to change my cabin from a regular balcony to a aft extended balcony....right near this one. I decided to try it and after reading this thread, am excited that I did. Thanks for the pictures! Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghGirlee Posted June 2, 2010 #153 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Carnival Dream - Aft Balcony for Cabin 7461:) I am thinking about booking this room for next May. Would you recommend? Do you know if the balcony opens up to 7463? Edited June 2, 2010 by PittsburghGirlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpus Posted June 2, 2010 #154 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) I am thinking about booking this room for next May. Would you recommend? Do you know if the balcony opens up to 7463? I would probably recommend the two adjoining cabins and not 7461. The interior of cabin 7461 is much smaller than the other aft cabins and would be cramped for 2 people, IMO - There's no room for a couch or chair for one thing. We also had cabins 7463, 7465 & 7462 which the interior was much larger than 7461 & and about 2 feet deeper than side cabins of the same type. Our plan was to open the partitions to the balconies however when they opened the partition in between 7461 & 7463, the opened partition blocked the door leading into the interior of cabin 7463, so the ship's staff refused to allow that partition to remain open. The partitions to 7463, 7465 opened fine. I was in 7462 and although we did not open our partitions, I observed that opening them would not have cause the same problem as 7461 & 7463. 7461: 7462: Edited June 2, 2010 by The Grumpus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waydui Posted June 2, 2010 #158 Share Posted June 2, 2010 This will be our first cruise (family of 4) and I booked 2 adjoining aft cabins on the Valor. One is a wrap-around and the other cabin is next to it, rear-facing. (#7445 & #7447) With the connecting door open, we should have a sizeable balcony space. :D You can check this site for pics of cabins, assuming your cabin is listed: http://www.*****/ Regards, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havinsnest Posted June 2, 2010 #159 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Victory 7425 - the first pictures are a bit foggy...sorry...the camera lens had some trouble adjusting from A/C in the cabin to warm humid air outside and my husband had trouble remember to wipe off the lens. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted June 2, 2010 #160 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm so mad at myself. I took pictures of the VS suite 6260 on the Miracle specifically for this thread and forgot to take an actual picture of the bedroom. Oh well here is the rest: Entry and sitting area: Sitting room TV: Dressing Area: Bathroom: Tub and Shower: Sitting room from bedroom: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgalpaugh Posted June 3, 2010 #163 Share Posted June 3, 2010 How many in an aft? We are a family of 5 can these cabins hold 5? If not can we get the aft balcony next to the wrap and remove barrior? As of now we're looking at a cruise sometime in fall of 2011. We did just that and had 40 feet of continuous balcony...it was fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is it any louder on the balcony while underway compared to a side balcony? thanks in advance Bon Voyage djp The interior is the same as in other balcony cabins on the Spirit-class ships. You do get the sound of the wake while out at sea.:D There is also some vibration from the props but nothing that bothered us. One thing to watch out for, check the chair on the balcony before sitting. Occasionally, some soot from the stack would make its way down to our balcony.

tnt091605 Posted June 8, 2010 #173 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Can anyone make an aft balcony recommendation. We love the aft balconies but have never been on the Victory. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viaggi_per_mare Posted June 8, 2010 #174 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Can anyone make an aft balcony recommendation. We love the aft balconies but have never been on the Victory. Thanks in advance. We had an aft wrap on the Victory and the cabins right next to the aft wraps are a little larger than the ones in the middle. Also if you are a picture taker, the way the walls of the aft balconies slant, you can actually take pictures around the corner by shooting through the aft wrap next to you. Our Oct 2009 Victory cruise has lots of pictures of the aft cabin balconies and wrap on the 8th deck. (see link below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising_kenboy Posted June 8, 2010 #175 Share Posted June 8, 2010 We really did enjoy the aft cabin. Not much of a breeze like the side of the ship though. It was especially nice watching people get on and off in Progreso. We eventually met the people on both sides of us, but you really only could see them if you were leaning on the railing. I think we're going to have to get a balcony for all future cruises now, and if we're lucky, it will be an aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
