aft cabin 8185

[happysails2U]

We tried to get our favorite aft cabin 8181for Alaska. It wasn't available, but 8185 is. Has anyone stayed in one of these smaller middle aft cabins, and what what was your opinion? Did you feel your viewing was too limited. We woner if we'd get a better view from a midship side cabin.

In my opinion all the aft cabins have better views than the side cabins, after all you can see both sides as well as the back. There's also something wonderful about watching the lights on the ships wake at night.

We've had them, keep it for sure. It was still an awesome view. Friends on the same sailing had a mid ship balcony and there was no comparison.

We have had that cabin twice and loved it. It is not an FV but we have had 4 lounge chairs a table and 2 regular chairs. The view was fantastic. I would say next to the FV cabins, these cabins have the largest balconies and best views.

 

If you haven't booked it yet, hurry. They go so quickly. We have tried to get one of these aft cabins for a cruise in March 2006. So far there are none left

You all have me convinced I need to try an aft cabin. I am in the CC class on Sky deck. Any opinion on 9160 or 9162? Were you bothered by cigar smoke back there?

 

Thanks

We've been in 8181 twice on Summit and 8185 on Millie. 8181 is our all time favorite cabin but it wasn't available when we booked Millie so we went with 8185. It's not quite the same but we'd rather be aft in the middle than on the side of the ship. we love to watch the wake and get entire view off the back of the ship. I'd stick with 8185 if 8181 wasn't an option.

 

ENJOY

For those of you who have been in this or similiar aft cabins, were you on a

Caribbean or Alaska itinerary? I'm afraid the view wouldn't be as good if you are inside the cabin instead of basking on the large varandah. (I'm planning for Alaska this time).

It would be wonderful for Alaska as well.......KEEP IT!!!

We were in 8181 for Alaska -- 8181 and 8185 for Caribbean. I would definitely do 8185 in Alaska. We just love the view and feel from aft cabin and we dpent considerable time on our veranda in Alaska. The views from here of the glaciers are awesome!

We were in 8176 on an Alaska Itinerary. Have been in midship on the port side twice before. I really like the latter but loved the aft room. It was so awesome to see both sides as well as the full back of the ship. We're booked in the same room for a Caribbean cruise and another Alaska cruise. Just book it, you'll love it.
