Would you book JS 1694 for your first cruise

[minnie00]

on the Navigator?? its an aft JS. but has a connecting door to another room. does this bother people??

 

and is an aft best for a first timer??

 

just curious

Great choice!!!! Aft is my favorite. Junior suite, haven't had the privelege or the money yet!!!!

I'm sure you've stayed in a hotel with connecting doors--did that bother you? Unless the folks in the other room are EXTREMELY loud, you should be fine.

[minnie00]

do you think it is good for a first timer who has no idea if they are going to be bothered by seasickness yet???

 

I guess I am worried if there is more movement. thanks !!!

All I can say is this: Once you stayed in A JS you won't want an interior cabin.;)

 

Happy Sailings!:)

We were on Explorer but I'm told the layout is pretty much the same. We just put the chair in front of the connecting door (which also freed up a lot of room in the cabin) and never thought about the people next door at all. We never heard them--never even saw them. As far as the seasickness, I've always found I'm more prone to it in the public, interior rooms. I need fresh air and a view of the horizon and that's why I always book a balcony, preferably aft.

Remember, you'll have a table and chairs and 2 loungers on your balcony. You can practically live out there if you want.

Our first cruise was on the Rhapsody and also a JS aft(8088)! We LOVED it and have actually planned our next two around getting the aft. In my opinion I don't think that I would prefer a reg. balcony now. The size of the aft balconies can't be beat(unless you are in a bigger suite).

 

I thought I would be bothered by seasickness too, but it never was an issue. One time the ship was rockin a bit and I thought I better take dramimine(sp), took it and everything was fine.

 

If you can be so lucky to have an aft I would take it in a heartbeat. They are some of the most sought after cabins.....Go for it~!

thanks for all the input guys !!:)

Hey Minnie,

 

If you're concerned about the motion, you can always take Bonine preventively...lots of cruisers do. Helps and it's not supposed to cause tiredness like Dramamine does. I'm slightly motion sickness prone and have used it on every cruise I've been on (including one on a real sailing ship) and have never been bothered.

A JS is the way to go. After you have a balcony you will never want to travel any other way. It's great to sit out there with your morning coffee or to relax after a day at the beach or pool.

I have had this JS and the other JS next door to it on the Navigator and would book it again in a heartbeat. I have some photos of the cabin and balcony in my link below. Great ship by the way.

It is a double edged sword. You have an ft cabin which 95% of ppl love. Some prefer other locations. And you have a JS. After this you won't even consider a smaller cabin on future cruises. :) You do feel motion the higher up you are and in my opnion the closer to the front of the ship you are, but even them it is extremly minimal. Definatlly take something daily. Dont wait until you are nauseas (sp?) cuz them you will lay around waiting for it to kick in. I am sensitive to medications so i alwasy remmomend when taking something new try it for a few days a couple of week before you go on vacation to make sure it doesnt bother you. Also a good back up plan are the magnetic bracelets. They help with nausua.
