counsdr Posted August 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Given the choice of 7388 or 7690 on the Explorer, which would you choose and why? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Given the choice of 7388 or 7690 on the Explorer, which would you choose and why?Thanks! I'd take the corner aft (7388), one less person next to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted August 24, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Bob, one can always count on you! 7388 has a weird configuration however. There is a big cicular opening and then a smaller rail area plus a post in the middle of the room if I recall. I was in 7690 7 years ago and visited in 7688, but I don't remember the balcony that well. I think the corner on deck 7 had the full sliding glass door, but I can't remember!

cruzinlady1947 Posted August 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2016 7388..... I had 7688 ( mirror cabin on opposite side) and it was great. You have a view to the side. No posts in the middle of the cabin. Huge balcony.....great! Gwen [emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted August 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2016 7388 There is no comparison. This cabin has the largest balcony on the ship of any balcony cabin. Balcony may be larger than the cabin. You could have your Meet & Mingle out there with ease! ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted August 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 27, 2016 By sheer luck, we booked that cabin (7688 on Explorer) for our very first cruise. Second cruise? 7688 Explorer Third cruise? 7388 Voyager Who knows whether we would have gotten "quite as hooked" on cruising if we had not had that superlative balcony on our three initial cruises?
