topanga49er Posted January 2, 2013 #76 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If you look at details of a aft facing penthouse suite on NCL site, it does say 377 plus a 77 sf balcony. This sf number can change: AFP range from 377 to 430 (plus balcony)" It really is confusing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eynsteinp Posted January 5, 2013 Author #77 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have done some research on this. It appears that the room you are referring to at 377 sqft is an aft facing MINIsuite. Not the aft facing penthouse suite. That would explain the square footage difference. I hope that helps clarify at least this issue. As stated before, the website lacks a great deal of information which is causing lots of confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eynsteinp Posted March 22, 2013 Author #80 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I still have not been able to find any floor plan. If the UK site has more information, is there any way you can copy and post it here? I appreciate any help on this. It is incredibly frustrating the way that NCL has handled this situation.

Rare insidecabin Posted March 22, 2013 #82 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am getting convinced these aft suites will be the best value cabins on the ship(so the prices will go up) much betterthan the S5 in the Haven area. Very good space, seperate bedroom, Haven access and large Aft balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare insidecabin Posted March 22, 2013 #84 Share Posted March 22, 2013 They look good but are a trek and a half to get to the haven They will deliver One trick will be to travel with friends, have an aft and an S4 sharing the multiple living room spaces. I wonder how practical hanging out in the covered courtyard area will be when busy. Side balconies are often not as practical on the long high speed runs. The afts should be great and there are quite a few space in the aft part of the ship that will be more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val523 Posted April 1, 2013 #85 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I am travelling with 3 family members and wanted to book this cabin for the July 14th sailing, but they were all booked. Instead, we booked a large balcony, but I am afraid that the cabin may be too small for 4 of us adults! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun07 Posted May 8, 2013 #87 Share Posted May 8, 2013 So back to the S6 :) I may be wrong but I think I have found a wrinkle in the S6 layouts . Four of the 12 S6 cabins may be a little different. I think they have swapped the location of the bedroom and bathroom in 4 of the cabins. Lets see if I can explain my theory. If you look at an aft pics you will notice 8 of the 12 cabins have a panel of tinted glass and 4 do not, on decks 14 and 11. http://www.depping-design.de/test/thumbnails.php?album=281&page=1 I think the 8 with tinted glass have bathrooms behind the tinted glass. ( which the floor plan I have seen confirms )Here is a pic of the bathroom on deck 13 Here is the bedroom I think the 4 that do not have the tinted glass have a bedroom where the bathroom is in the other 8. Here is are some pics I found on another thread. The rest of the cabin looks exactly the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchess43 Posted May 8, 2013 #88 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Now that she is in NY Port I hope someone takes a pic of the aft facing cabins from the outside so we all can see how she is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godiva830 Posted May 8, 2013 #89 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Now that she is in NY Port I hope someone takes a pic of the aft facing cabins from the outside so we all can see how she is finished. My mom went to the christening today and I asked her to take pics of the room I booked (13302) there's a video on YouTube of this room. I mainly wanted my mom to take pics of the second guest bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahine56 Posted May 8, 2013 #90 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'll know comes June 9th, I'm booked in the aft on deck 14. I was wondering why the windows were different. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand this info, the bathroom does NOT have any windows but is totally enclosed. And the large windows are in the bedroom? Is that right? And where and what is the "guest bathroom" in these suites? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheGoMom921 Posted May 9, 2013 #92 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks for the detective work, Shaun! I am on Deck 11, and although I'm a bit bummed that the bathroom won't have the tub in front of the window, the bedroom looks so much nicer in the 4 oddball cabins! Did the original thread that you grabbed those pictures from mention the suite number? Just wondering... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1witchydiva Posted May 9, 2013 #93 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thank you so much for all your work and pictures.' I ,too, booked an aft penthouse on 14. I booked a long time ago, the first day that they were accepting bookings. I have been going crazy trying to find a floor plan at least. The irony is that I booked the room because I was told about the tub in front of the window. That was a big selling point for me. Now, I may not even have that. lol I have to laugh or I will cry.I could have saved a lot of money if I knew the way it actually would end up. I am sure I will still have a great time. Booking sight unseen, was my choice ,so none to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaway Girl Posted May 9, 2013 #94 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I am also in an aft penthouse deck 14. Booked as soon as bookings opened when it was originally listed as an S7 so I got a small break on the price. It was relisted later as an S6. I love the bed by the window as I love the morning light coming in as I wake up. Hoping someone would post pictures of it. I am sailing May 26, 2013 less then 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

medicalma'am Posted May 9, 2013 #97 Share Posted May 9, 2013 13302 pictures, aft penthouse suite I believe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalma'am Posted May 9, 2013 #98 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Wow, that balcony is amazing. There appear to be only ten of these rooms, one on each aft corner of decks 10 through 14. There are suites on deck 9, but they appear to be smaller and a different configuration. I could be wrong, but we won't know until someone posts pics of those rooms. The aft suites are my FAVORITE cabins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalma'am Posted May 9, 2013 #99 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) I found this also. Looks to be the same cabin but reversed, so it would be 13902. Edited May 9, 2013 by medicalma'am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eynsteinp Posted May 9, 2013 Author #100 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks for the information. I too booked this suite over a year ago and have been waiting for a floor plan what seems to be forever. The big bathtub under the the picture window was a huge selling point to my wife as was the second bath as we will be sailing with our 11 year old twins. I'm on the 12 deck on the June 9th sailing and have been hoping for some information on this suite before sailing. I have not been able to find any pictures of the second bathroom but it sounds like its existence has been confirmed by people who have been on board. Is this right? Thanks in advance.
