Navigator of the Seas - Aft Balcony 7688 7388 Video Layout

[duck60d]

Hey Guys. We just got off Navigator of the Seas and got super lucky with an extended aft balcony. I know there are so many questions about how big the balcony is so I decided to take a short video. This is one of the best rooms you can get in our opinion. The opposite room would be 7388.

Wow thanks for the video.

 

I just got off Independence room 7708 and it is the same balcony.

 

Does this mean that all the ships in Navigator class has that corner balcony for a steal?

I believe all freedom class has that didn't realize another class of ships had it as well:D

Yes, all Voyager class would be like Navigator.

Thanks for the video. We'll be in this cabin in november and april.

Thanks

I don't think Voyager class ships have ever gone to Alaska. Might be a size thing. At the very least, none are scheduled to go to Alaska in the near future.

Thank you for the video! We will be in that cabin for a B2B in May/June and will be hanging a hammock on that fabulous balcony:D

We have sailed in 7388 once on a TA and 7688 on 7 TA's -

Last TA from Rome - Barcelona - Galveston, broke our own record for number of guests on the balcony for a cocktail party - 37:eek:

Have always preferred these cabins over a Jr. suite. Like being on your own private yacht:D

Thanks for the video. I'm going to try to get this room for my upcoming cruise. The website says it's still available. :p

[duck60d]

We got so lucky. We booked this room one week before sailing!! I'm guessing someone must have switched into a junior suite.

[CanDMan47]

Called this morning and switched to this balcony, er, room. :D

I looked briefly at a ship that goes to Alaska...it was weird.....one side of Aft had a staircase and other was a huge suite on most floors.

 

Only one with a junior suite that looked like it had big corner balcony was under windjammer outdoor seating:(

Ok I've got to know.... We are on freedom in "this" balcony. How do you do the hammock? On railing between the circular opening and aft rail? We need this in our lives! :)

Enjoy the cruise. Are you doing a Transatlantic? We spent 42 days on the NOS 2 years ago nice ship.

This is a picture of Buz (of Judy and Buz CC name foxgoodrich) enjoying his hammock. I saw that picture and want to do the same. I have the hammock and we bought some heavy duty paracord to hang it. There are some cutouts in which to loop the cord through.

 

CC member Becciboo was one of the first to try out a hammock.

 

We've had the deck 7 corner aft on Freedom and Liberty and I can tell you they are just the best for balconies:D

Is this only on deck seven or are these corner afts alike on deck 6, 8 and nine also?

Decks 6 and 7 are the only corner afts that have the big cut out on the side. Deck 7 cabins are the only ones that you can actually walk up to that cut out and look down. The ones on deck 6 are set further off to the side and you can't get to the cut out. There is also a crew deck right below deck six. The further down you go, the more the superstructure gets in the way. That being said...any aft balcony will be larger than the standard side balconies. Here is a picture of the AOS afts that give a good perspective of all the cabins. The Freedom class ships will be the same layout except the numbering is different.

I love it! Thanks for sharing! Any special hardware or just loop it around? Thank you!

thank you so much.

I ordered this kit from Amazon...actually any heavy duty cord would work and we will loop it through the ends of the hammock loops and then loop it and knot it through the balcony beams. We return from our cruise on June 8 and I'll post some detailed pics on here. I'm sure there will be lots of trial and error in getting the height just right:)

On Utube video, sounded like a lot of engine noise. Always wonders about that in cabins toward the rear.

Woo hoo! Can't wait to see what you accomplish. I'll be taking a look for sure with our October sailing. Good thing there will be plenty of time to adjust it! :D

Don't know what was on utube, but in 9 aft balcony cruises, have never heard anything.

Never heard engine noise...just the sound of the wake which can be quite loud and relaxing. Love the sound of the water:)
