teaach02 Posted May 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I just read that a person on the TA Venezia cruise in an ext aft cabin asked the room steward for a lounge chair for her deep balcony. She currently had 2 chairs and a table. The steward said there were no more lounges available on the ship. I have always had a lounge chair in all my ext aft balconies. Any suggestions on how to get the lounge chair? I sent John Heald a request. I don't sail till Dec 2023 and I love my lounge chair on the ship's wake.

serene56 Posted May 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2023 We used to be aft snobs and never was able to get lounge chairs for the aft balcony. (not even on the L shaped bowling alley balcony. Even looking at pictures there does not seem to be a lot of lounge chairs on the venezia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons for posting, was that I was hoping someone was in one and see and post if there were any. Also, I am somewhat concerned with the number of pools on the Venezia vs the amount of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphinsfan246 Posted June 2, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2023 So I’m genuinely curious because I have my first extended aft balcony on the Legend in 2 weeks, are you saying that I could request a lounger instead of a chair ? That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have aft wrap 7 booked on Genesis so wonder same thing. As the maiden voyage is just getting to NY, I think we're just now able to learn the answer.

Rare mizLORInj Posted June 13, 2023 #17 Share Posted June 13, 2023 If the aft wrap I've booked doesn't have a lounger, I will surely be asking for one. Two would be better. They have time to fix their "shortage"! Have never had an aft wrap or aft-facing on Carnival that did not have loungers. I'll report back too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the same question a few weeks ago. I notice the deck plan now has a doorway to the stairs that is not next to the aft-wrap cabin's door (oddly, this doorway did not show a few months ago when I booked). Experience on deck 7 of (maybe) Glory was I got to hear the crew door slam shut at all hours so I did not want to be right next to it. Wishing that by now we had some aft wrap pics and videos from this ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelE Posted June 14, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 14, 2023 There are plenty of lounge chairs on the Venezia and multiple sets of stacked chairs not being used. I think it depends on the steward and how you ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that the person on the ship now took a pic for you. Honestly, I'll say that after that pic, I went and checked if deck 7 had open aft wraps for my upcoming cruise, and they're gone. We are thinking of bringing something we can put in that door to soften the sound when it closes! Also, how do you know the bathroom is right there? I haven't seen pics of these cabins yet.

I thought you had some secret intel'! I checked last night if deck 7 was open on my 2023 cruise and it isn't. Only deck 6, and I think that's too close to the public deck below. I guess I'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not following what you're saying - what do you mean by "open aft wrap" and what food are you looking to put something in? We're booked in an aft wrap, so I'm concerned about potential noise, but cannot understand what you're trying to say. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
