Cruzin with BQ & CQ Posted August 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We are booked on the Eurodam on deck 7 in an aft cabin. Has this been a good experience for others? I previously asked this question using the specific cabin number, but I think it was too specific and got only a few replies. Thanks to all for your help!

NoobCruise Posted August 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2013 are you aft or aft-facing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobCruise Posted August 19, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We had the aft corner on the Westerdam, deck 8. It was very quiet back there and deck 7 would have been even quieter since we had the Sea View Pool right above us. We did have a long walk to the shops and showroom in the bow though.

I think it will be fun! Need the long walk to work off all that food!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted August 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Aft cabins are about a 3-minute elevator ride to the Lido Restaurant and aft pool. You can pick up a snack and return to your cabin without your food cooling very much. It is also very convenient for that ice cream cone or late-evening pizza. Just three minutes from a cup of coffee or tea 24/7 is also a good thing. Note that the Room Service kitchen is also a short elevator ride to your room which means everything is at the perfect temperature. Aft cabins are just a few minutes ride down to the MDR. While standing at your verandah railing, your view is much better than someone looking our from only one side of the ship. There is also very little foot traffic past your cabin door. Enjoy your aft cabin and it's convenience to dining and pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flyer Posted August 20, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We had cabin 7138 a few years back and loved it. DW smoked back then:eek:(thank God she quit) and we purchased a few bottles of our favorite libation and enjoyed every sunset. It can get warm back there given the right conditions. As others have said, it's a walk to get anywhere but it's worth it to keep the weight down. I noticed the room was larger than the other balcony cabins. It was furnished exactly as the others but had extra wall space on either side of the bed. I guess I should say the cabin was the same width as others, just longer. Someone on CC pointed out to me the need to keep an extra towel to wipe down the chairs on the balcony because sometimes soot will drift down from the stacks if the right conditions are present. Happened just once to us. Our sixth Eurodam is coming this Dec. and we enjoy the ship, food but especially the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBands Posted August 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 20, 2013 we have booked it 2x and our kids have as well, next to us. We are sailig again in Nov. and have the corner and 2 aft balconies. Best balcony cabins but sometimes book an SY for more space inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP is talking about a side balcony that is in the back 1/4 of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are actually in 7139, so you've given me aa great feel for the location. BTW, Any issues with motion or vibration? Or just about the same as other locations. Thanks again.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerko Posted August 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If you mean you're in a cabin looking directly out the back over the stern then these are in my families opinion the best on every ship. We try to secure one every time we cruise but they're about the first to go as many agree with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user8 Posted August 21, 2013 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I had one on the Carnival Magic earlier this year. It was a great cabin except for one thing; there was a support column in the middle of the room. We did not have direct access to the outside but the view was spectacular and it was very quiet.
