double s Posted June 23, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I am fairly new to cruise critic, but I enjoy the message boards! So much info. We have an aft balcony cabin (732) on CP 10/15/05, and I was looking for some info on the size compared to other balconies. We always try to sail with a balcony cabin, even if we have to delay a cruise to pay for it! I have heard some good points and would welcome any comments if you have had one of these aft cabins. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britsbest Posted June 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2005 We had aft stateroom on Golden last year. Its a helluva walk to anywhere but few people have to go past your room at nite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachnlucy Posted June 23, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Here's a view from the aft of 731: http://community.webshots.com/photo/326717768/326717768lxALJT And here's a view of the aft of the ship: http://community.webshots.com/photo/138266703/138266703GcYMgn These are from the Golden, but it should be close. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss Posted June 24, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2005 B732 is not a back aft balcony, are you sure that is your cabin number? As far as the back aft balconies, we love them. Once you cruise with one, you will not want to go back to a cabin with a balcony on the side of the ship, especially on the Caribbean Princess. The only word of caution, is there is 2 cabins on the aft that have obstucted views, make sure that you do not have one of these. They are the second cabins on each side.

cruise fairy Posted June 24, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Do the aft balconies cost more? Are they suites or staterooms with balcony? Sorry, but I don't know which room is which at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiss Posted June 24, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2005 cruise fairy, Aft rooms depend on the ship as to type. Most ships have suites and regular staterooms located in the aft. They do not cost any more than any other room in the category, they just usually book faster because people like them so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindawi37 Posted June 24, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I think my 2 daughters may have one of these. We are in B749 they are in 751. How obstructed are the views. B732 is not a back aft balcony, are you sure that is your cabin number? As far as the back aft balconies, we love them.

partman57 Posted June 24, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2005 My mistake....my cabin # is B754, which is an aft balcony cabin. Thanks for catching that! I am thinking about B756 and B754 in Jan 06. How did you like the location? This will be my first P-Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiss Posted June 24, 2005 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Linda, Your cabin B749 is a great one, you will love it. B751 has a beam in the middle of the balcony that is about 2 feet wide. You can work around it, but it does block your view partially when you look out of your cabin door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beary Posted June 24, 2005 #14 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Swiss, would you suggest eating a moonlight dinner on the balcony with your favorite husband? What do you wear to this dinner? Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss Posted June 24, 2005 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Of course! Dinner on the balcony with my husband is a must! Call room service to send up a dinner menu and hope for a full moon. Looking forward to October Kevin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
