JKAMAM Posted December 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) This is our first cruise getting an aft cabin. Wondering which choice is better middle or end. Any suggestions? Carnival Dream. As of now we're looking at 7456. Edited December 12, 2017 by JKAMAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wave61 Posted December 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2017 On some of the ships, Triumph for sure, the two outside cabins on deck 6 and deck 8 are wider than the middle cabins so a longer balcony. The problem with deck 8 cabins is that the lido deck is above and some people have mentioned that they often find garbage and such on their balcony from people tossing it above.

bury me at sea Posted December 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I have sailed in extended aft balcony cabins on both of the Dream's sister ships, Magic and Breeze. I preferred the middle since the balcony was a bit deeper. I first had one on deck 7. Total sun nearly all day and little to no breeze made it uncomfortably warm for me. Tried deck 9, directly under the Lido overhang, and found it much more comfortable. Though still no breeze we had partial shade most of the day. All of those cruises were in high summer. The sun might not be such an issue in cooler months. You can't beat the view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband thinks middle might be better. I'm sure they're both amazing. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gramgoingcruising Posted December 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Have always had a balcony room for our cruises. Decided to try an aft balcony and absolutely love it. The middle was the best but all are good rooms. Deck 7 was all sun. Deck 9 was mostly shade cause of overhang which you don't have on lower decks. However, Deck 9 was under the aft pool and there was a lot of nightly noise. Be aware it is very quiet otherwise and is away from most all the action. A long walk to front. Elevators and stairs are close. Don't think you can pick a bad room. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
