Room On the Back of the Ship

[kyleg2949]

Thanks for the replies everybody. I don't feel quite as nervous about it. However, anywhere on the ship is better than being at work!!

From the description on the Glory big enough for two loungers versus two chairs.

Aft balconies have their charmers/admirers w the larger balcony and such.

 

Personally, I am not one of those as the vibration rattles me just too much.

 

Regardless of my opinion, you're on a cruise and that's not a bad thing!

Well, I went on my first aft balcony last year. It was on another cruise line. I didn't notice much change in the motion. I enjoyed my extended balcony.

 

What I didn't like or would consider for next time:

While the wake was nice to watch...

 

Consider which way your bed is facing. Instead of rocking from side to side it could be front to back when you're in bed.

 

I rarely got any sun and could not see any sunrises or sunsets from my balcony. We were headed south most of the time.

 

If you are on port or starboard you can look ahead to see what's coming and get your camera ready. By the time you see something aft, it's already going past you and no time to get the camera ready.

 

Would I book an aft again- maybe. I did enjoy my huge balcony. I think you said you had an ocean view so most of what I said isn't applicable.
