SEA SOUNDS Posted February 19, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Is there a lot of movement on the back of the ship? Especially at night when you are sleeping. I like the idea of the extended balcony, but not too sure about dealing with the rocking and swaying. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Seasounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declady Posted February 19, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I don't know that there is alot of movement but there is definitely more movement than mid ship. I personally like the movement and finds it lulls me into a wonderful sleep - but it's not for everyone and we had some friends say that some nights they felt like they were going to fall out of bed.

serene56 Posted February 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2008 We have sailed on the aft 7 out of 10 times. For us-- its the only place to be. I pay the same money for the aft as I would the side ones but I get a tad more bigger balcony. We usually pick deck 6 or 7 with- closer to the waters. On the Spirit class ships I dont think I would like deck 4 or 5. Depending on when you are sailing- I dont think you would feel any more motion on the aft then you would on the side-- but if you hit rough waters you could be rocked. What you see on tv is not the kind of feeling you get. Its hard to describe it. Its more like your grandmother sitting on a rocking chair rocking you to sleep. I say go for it-- then you can decide if the aft is for you for the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted February 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2008 They's a very slight sway back there whenever the ship is in motion. You get used to it. However, one rocky night, wife got throw off the toilet. She'll never go aft again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seydlitz Posted February 19, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It is not too bad. It is good for sleeping, more sun and more room a very nice place to spend some time. We liked it so much on Legend that we are getting the same room on the Mircale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
