Deck 6 extended balcony or deck 10 on Victory?

[arf2005]

I've never booked a balcony cabin before and now have the chance to do so. I can either book the extended balcony room on the Victory (6459) or for the same price book a balcony room on level 10. Pros and cons anyone?

Since I didnt like the "L" shaped cabin I will vote for deck 10.

which puts you closer to the food and pools.

 

My L shape cabin was my first side balcony after many cruises on the aft. I have to go back to the aft cabins. the balconies are just sooo much better.

its longer but you have to keep the chairs to the side.. you cant recline and look straight out to the waters. It only gets sun part of the day depending on the direction you are heading/

aft gets sun most of the day= maybe not directly but its still sun.

So -- what did you decide?

We are going to forgo the upgrade and my friend is booking the L shaped cabin and I am going to go with the aft cabin. Your pictures of the aft balcony sold me! I can't imagine a better view anywhere on the ship! Thanks again for your help.
