mohawk1129 Posted January 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Planning to book an extended aft cabin on the Dream. Any Recommendations? Have read that on deck 7 end cabins are small and it looks like deck 9 is completely covered. Pros and cons are welcome Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-T813 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels87 Posted January 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm glad you asked this question...I am booked in an aft balcony on deck 8 in July and was wondering the same thing. Thanks! Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishJourney Posted January 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I've done a lot of research as I'm booked in aft balcony on Breeze in April, also a Dream class ship - so it's the same. Aft on deck 9 are covered - for that reason I did not wanted to stay there. But for people who want the possibility of shade it might be a good option. On deck 8 and 9 the outer rooms 9474, 9477, 8468, 8475 have larger balconies, but the inside of the room is the same size as the other rooms. On deck 7 the outer rooms 7456, 7461 (Dream) and 7460, 7461 (Breeze) are smaller than the rest. There is no sofa in the room. Other than than, all rooms and balconies are the same. I was booked in 8472 when 8468 came available and I swapped rooms. So much looking forward to the bigger balcony :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted January 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I stayed in one of the middle cabins on the Magic on deck 7. Loved the size of the balcony and the view. Downside was that there is very little breeze, and that coupled with no shade at any time of the day made it pretty hot out there. Next two trips stayed in middle cabin on deck 9. The overhang covers about 1/3 to 1/2 of the balcony and provides enough shade to make it more comfortable even with the lack of breeze. Both had sofas. The view is amazing and the area is very quiet.

BoDidly Posted January 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I avoid the Aft and immediate Forward. Noise , vibrations and rough seas will teach you that . Edited January 15, 2017 by BoDidly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachLoverstoo Posted January 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2017 We were in 8475 on the Magic and loved the size of that balcony. We've booked it again for a B2B. We had two loungers, two chairs and a side table and still had room. There was some shade, but it really depended on the time of day and the direction we were headed. DH won't book deck 9 because it is under the Lido. He prefers to be on a deck with cabins above and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the great thing about aft cabins. Rarely have any guests roaming around back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk1129 Posted January 15, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Do you still get sun on balcony with deck 9? How is the noise from the Lido deck?

It was sunny during nearly all daylight hours. We were never bothered by noise from the Lido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
