jerseysmom Posted August 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I've read so much about aft cabins on here. We booked an aft 7674 on the Radiance. Anyone been in a deck 7 aft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted August 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I can't speak for aft cabins, never had one, but know many who love them. If this is your first time on a Radiance Class, you will love the views. One thing I look at being in an aft cabin, and to get to the Centrum remember your going to be walking over 450 feet. The ship is 964 feet long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseysmom Posted August 30, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 30, 2009 All that walking will save me from having to work off all the food I eat!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted August 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Now thats a good point. They have elevators at the aft, but you still need to walk. I know we did a Room Crawl and covered 10 Rooms, we were plumb tired :D. I would hate to do a room Crawl on a Voyage class unless all the rooms were in the middle. ;). Haven't you been on our Calif thread, your name is familiar. Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gay Gay, on Radiance, there are no aft elevators nor are they any stairs.........that's why it is such a loooooong walk from the back of the ship to the center.:D Elevators can be found in the center (4 facing the ocean and two facing the Centrum) and forward.

jerseysmom Posted August 30, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Gay, not sure if I've been on the CA thread or not...if so it's been a while. We noticed no aft elevators but since we found such a good deal on an aft on our favorite ship we jumped at it. As far as the distance to the elevator goes, I always have good intentions of using the gym. I get there probably twice thru the whole cruise. The long walk will MAKE me exercise:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdiamond Posted August 31, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 31, 2009 You will love that cabin. We are in a stern cabin on that deck next year. The view is awesome; and, the extra room on the balcony is very nice if you bring a plethora of beach gear, as do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseysmom Posted August 31, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That's a good point about the additional room on the balcony! DH wants to bring a beach umbrella for Cabo. I don't know if they'll let us take one on or not but between that and the snorkeling equip we'll need the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpus Posted August 31, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've read so much about aft cabins on here. We booked an aft 7674 on the Radiance. Anyone been in a deck 7 aft?I had 7676 on Jewel o/t Seas... loved it! It's worth the additional walking and the cabins back there have a very exclusive feel.:) Oh, and the balconies are huge!!!

Laurba99 Posted September 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2009 hI I had an aft cabin on the same deck on the Radiance. It was a very roomy balcony--I would highly recommend it. I don't remember a long walk to the room but I think if anything it was always easy to find since you just walk to the back and then there are hardly any rooms back there :) IT's a good room-you will be happy!

Ladylouwho Posted September 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We had a corner aft on deck 7 of the Jewel of the Seas (sister ship to Radiance). It was a Royal Family Suite. We also had a corner aft on deck 10 (JS1100) on the Serenade of the Seas (another sister ship). The aft views on that Class of Ship are the best!!!!! As far as the walk, big deal. I have had aft and forward cabins on the Freedom Class, now that is a walk! Enjoy! Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted September 2, 2009 #13 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I never really looked for aft elevators, on the Radiance, I guess I assumed there were. Deck 7 shows elevators . Jersymom, for some reason your name was very familiar. Don't ask me how with close to #70 listed on our Roll Call, I would recall one name. :). Probably becasue I maintain the list.

Gay No elevators aft even on Deck 7 since to get to The Colony Club which is located all the way aft on Deck 6 you have to go through the Schooner Bar and past the Specialty Restaurants. The stairway that you see towards the aft is for crew only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted September 3, 2009 #15 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Patti I guess I need to get back on the Radiance and do a better job of seeing where things are. Granted we never got on the 7th Deck. Now this makes a good excuse to board the Radiance again. :D. Great ship, Crew & service. Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted September 3, 2009 #17 Share Posted September 3, 2009 We are looking forward to our 1st Mariner Cruise April 2011. To long to wait, but no choice. Hoping also to squeeze in a TA Fall of 2011. After that one we would finally move up. Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
