Spanky My Posted September 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Anyone had one of these rooms and is it worth the price difference? Thanks in advance for your response.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk1 Posted September 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I did, I did!!! And it was great and worth the bux. We sailed with friends who bought the neighboring aft. We had the partition opened and we had a huge area to do what ever 4 folks and other friends do on balconies. The girls had plenty of room to sunbathe on the recliners. The sail away parties, the serenity. Views of both port and starboard while entering and exiting the ports. Yep, absolutely loved it.

vacation_junkie Posted September 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Anyone had one of these rooms and is it worth the price difference? Thanks in advance for your response.... Be aware....once you stay in an Ext. Aft Balcony...you may never want to go back to any other room :D The larger balcony is fantastic! You don't have to climb over each other if there is more then one of you on the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleebones Posted September 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Aft is AWESOME! Extended balcony, more room, full sun (which some don't like but we do), and the most excellent views. Nothing beats sitting out watching the wake. It's mesmorising. Also, very little foot traffic back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgh3154 Posted September 30, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2012 We have an Aft balcony on the Freedom in one week! It will be our first time with an Aft. Can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmarsh Posted September 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2012 We love an aft balcony; well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky My Posted September 30, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Is there no shade at all outside on the balcony of an aft unit? Sarahleebones had mentioned full sun. I would like that but my wife likes to read her book in the shade.Thank you to all who have replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted September 30, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2012 we used to be aft snobs then carnival reconfigured the category and now they cost more. ts a longer walk to the elevators but halls are quiet back there balconies are a lot bigger the the sides but they are warmer then the side balconies and do not get ocean breezes.

dk1 Posted September 30, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2012 In re shade... well that all depends on the time of day and the position of the ship. If in the morning you're heading east... full shade. Afternoon heading east? Sun. dk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted September 30, 2012 #12 Share Posted September 30, 2012 You'll love the aft balcony; it is much quieter back there, the views are incredible and having that little extra space is nice - Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted September 30, 2012 #13 Share Posted September 30, 2012 If you decide to go Aft, get rooms 8450 or 8457, they have a wider balcony then the others, it doesn't show up on the deckplans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineOnTheBrain Posted September 30, 2012 #14 Share Posted September 30, 2012 We had an aft wrap on deck six. The only thing I liked about it was it's proximity to the Piano Bar and aft lounge for comedians. Other than that I thought it was way so not worth the extra money. I love being on the balcony as we sail out of whatever port or before dinner while the family is getting ready. There always seemed to be too much sun all the time there. Also...it was a long walk to get our dining room each night through the maze of the promonade deck's photo stations. Lastly there is no real privacy from above or on the side. It was huge though.
