dpiddy Posted September 1, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2021 For those of us who prefer aft-facing cabins, what are your tricks for finding them? Currently, when I find an itinerary that appeals to me, in a date/price range that works, on a line I prefer to travel on, then I look at the ship deck plans to see how they categorize cabins, then go through the booking process for each category that could include aft cabins, often searching by deck, and see what's available. It's not an efficient process. Any tips/tricks to streamline this process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an efficient process. Any tips/tricks to streamline this process? After studying a ship's deck plan, I decide what categories and cabins that I think I would prefer. Then, I contact my travel agent and allow her to do the searching for availability and price of the cabins that I prefer that you seem to be doing. More efficient and a better use of my time, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey/Thom Posted September 29, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I just pull up the deck plan online, enlarge the aft section, and call the cruise line and let the consultant do the work while I look at the cabins she's talking about. It sometimes takes an hour, but by the end of the hour, I've got all the rates for all the cabins I'm interested in, and can make an informed decision - and they did all the work, which could take me many, many hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynBoy8 Posted October 16, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2021 We like to sail on Cunard and know the ships very well. We do prefer the QM2. Sailing we prefer midship and one of the middle decks. We also have preferred a certain cat called Club Britannia. Those cabins on primary to the 12 Deck and some on the bow Deck 13. Surprising we were on a NE/Canada sailing and had mild conditions with no ill effects to waves and roughness. But did experience once in the past and needed some help with meds for one night. Yes we also are aware of the weather those times of year and where we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing our preference to the area of the ship we prefer to sail at and not in the aft. We had the pleasure to view many times the aft of other cruisers and was not really interested in viewing the wash of the ship. Unless on other ships there is another view. Granted some views of where you were can be interesting but respectfully not for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, this has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's question. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
