Aft Cabins?

[Los_Lobos]

Hello, are the aft cabins a good place to stay? Would the aft cabins be a rougher ride than say in midship or forward? I have been offered an upgrade from Upper mid balcony to an aft balcony cabin up a deck or two.

 

Thanks, Les

I am an aft snob. Afts are the best...great view, great sound, far away from alot of hall traffic. If I were offered this, i would take it in a heartbeat...assuming of course that I didn't book one to begin with.

As far as the ride goes, Midship is the best. Aft will be better than the far forward cabins though. You will be very happy with Aft.

We had our first aft this year on the Liberty and loved it and now we are hooked. You may feel a little more movement back there than midship but the view and sound is worth it, the sound of the wheel wash is like a waterfall just outside you door......Enjoy

if you are given a chance to have an aft cabin go for it. had our first aft cabin on the liberty last summer. it was the best,very private, the sounds of the water are great as well as the views. you will love it. i did not notice any more movement then in other locations.

The general rule is the higher up and the more forward or aft you go, the more movement you feel. I can't attest to the forward movement, but we could definitely feel a difference in the aft. We had a midship cabin and dined in the aft dining room. YMMV.

I would never be offered an aft as I would have chosen it in the first place, grab it.

Aft Cabins... to know them is to love them is to know them...

 

 

If you're used to a balcony, try it at the back and never look forward ;) We just got off the Legend and had the Cat 11 aft wrap on Deck 4 STBD, and it was honestly the best cabin we've had in 5 cruises! We've had other aft cabins and switched to a regular cabin, and that, well that was a mistake. The motion you feel is minimal, the ships are bloody huge FCOL! The only thing I've found is that when the ship is docking you'll feel the vibration a very very minuscule amount more. As far as motion is concerned, I've found that the yaw and roll is more pronounced mid-ship, but it may be because you'll feel both at once.... or I may be a little odd...

 

Anyhow, Aft cabins... they're a little addictive.

 

Hi, my name is Matt, and I'm an Aft cabin-snob.

Me too....!:) We tried a center-hump on the RCI Explorer of the Seas this past April, and were really disappointed...:(

 

Have aft's booked for the next three cruises...:) GO AFT!:D

We had an aft on liberty on deck 8 this summer. For us there were both pluses and minuses of the aft.

 

Pluses

Very quiet

Loved watching the wake

Leaving port great view

Larger balcony

Just a few steps up to get drinks, snacks etc

Gorgeous pictures of the sunsets

 

Minuses

No shade to speak of at least on deck 8

Very, very hot - could not go out there barefoot during the day, chairs very hot etc

 

You have to decide if the heat and lack of shade will bother you if not go for it, the pluses were truly wonderful.

Once you go aft, you won't go back to any other! Go for it!

[nanuak]

Go for it! We love aft cabins.

[1tuckersmom]

Love Afts too.

 

We will be in our second one on the Miracle in Feb.

 

Great deal, take it.

.....I liked it so much I booked an aft balcony for my birthday in December. But then I got to thinking, is that really the way to go. I decided to give it up last week and did..................FOR AN AFT WRAP BECAUSE ONE WAS AVAILABLE!

 

Happy Birthday To Me!

 

:D

We had an aft wrap on the Liberty a couple of weeks ago, I started missing it even before we left. That was our first cruise and I cant imagine being anywhere else on the ship, do yourself a favor and take it, you will not regret it. Enjoy your cruise.

.....facing out of the rear of the ship. If you're waterskiing behind the ship you can't miss them.

Sadly, the afts are becoming 8G's, so if you can get one, snag it up now! If I were offered a cat 11 suite against my aft, I'd have a hard time deciding! Can you guess I love the aft cabins? ;)
