Tigergenesis Posted April 29 #1 Share Posted April 29 (edited) My hubby loves the aft extended balcony cabins (balcony on the back end of the ship - not just the back area of the ship; see image), and he insists on those anytime that we cruise. We love the privacy (cabins above, below, next to can not really see our balcony). I love that there is a lounger in addition to chairs. We have not cruised on the following classes: Vista (Horizon, Panorama, Vista) Excel (Mardi Gras, Celebration, Jubilee) or Venice (Venezia, Firenze). Regarding those classes/ships, can anyone tell me: 1. Do they have the same privacy? So far it seems that Havana aft-extended balconies are not private (you can see into balconies), but I'm not clear which ships/classes have Havanas. 2. Do they have loungers (not just regular seats)?

weezal Posted April 29 #2 Share Posted April 29 vista class ships have Havana cabins in the aft. only the cabins on the highest deck, have the privacy that you seek, since they are tiered and can see below to other balconies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshower9 Posted April 30 #3 Share Posted April 30 (edited) On Excel class ships, none of the aft extended balconies have full privacy. We stayed on deck 15 on Mardi Gras and it was partially covered, but if we stood at the railing people could look down on us. We had a lounger on Mardi Gras, and there are also loungers on the Havana aft extended balconies on the Vista class ships.

Correct Vista aft deck 6 and 7 you will be almost eye to eye with the people in the hot tubs. LOL! 8 and 9 look great though, I just booked! I typed in cabin numbers to Youtube and watched cabin tours of the exact cabins. (For Vista) That helped me make my choice.

($50 per person deposits today!) Only difference is that on Vista the aft balconies on decks 6 and 7 are Havana cabins, while decks 8 and 9 are not. For that reason alone I prefer decks 6 and 7. On Horizon, all four decks are Havana cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how because that cabin has the carpeting of Havana on it and the person said it was Havana but you are correct, it is not. I moved to 6464. Corner aft. Kinda weird layout but it will work. I really want a private balcony but Havana access. I'm not a fan of the terraces that people walk. Not many options. Thank you! LOL...

I'm thankful they let me switch! Its only been a few hours though. LOL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get the chance grab an aft wrap, my fav room on Vista class ships, and the 6th floor is the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Aft Wrap only on the Vista class Ships. LOVE them! Matter of fact our next 4 or 5 are. We are doing the Venezia for an 11 day on Monday,we love Horizon and Vista for the Havana area "with pool". Venezia is nice for the peace & quiet. Our second cruise on her. Very rarely do we go out in general population 😆 during the day, just to eat basically then back out at night for dinner and entertainment. We'll be on our aft wrap or in the Terraza area.
