I like how you make sure the door doesn't slam. Great cabin.
hey tony, just an fyi, the shower head has a button that you press to have a stronger stream, my last cruise i found it on the last day.
Aft facing cabins are my favorite!
Aft Balcony looks amazing, I purposely choose a cabin away from elevators for 2 reasons, less footfall & after all the food that is on offer I personally walk as much as possible ☺️
I've sailed in a Jr Suite on the back of the Splendour of the Seas. We loved everything about it. After leaving Bermuda to cross the Atlantic to the Azores, we hit 30 ft seas. You'd literally feel the bed fall out from beneath you. I've never slept better in my life. It's crazy, as i get carsick easily, but the sea doesn't bother me. (I was pregnant, too ... ). We always watched the sunset after dinner and one night there were whales chasing the ship. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend aft cabins.
Thanks for the cabin review. Love the storage in this cabin. The bathroom is tight. The fluffy cruisers would like you to test the toilet sitting situation. My husband watched this video and shook his head "nope" when he saw the space between the commode and the glass shower door. You and he are about the same degree of fluffy.
I've had aft balconies on a couple cruises (not on the Odyssee!). Definitely seemed to feel more of the vibration when docking/undocking and while cruising. The balconies are great, but we did get some fine ash-type particles that were from the stacks. Also that walk to the elevator is definitely a pain when you forget something!
We always book the aft balcony. It is very relaxing. ❤️
My hubby and I stayed in an aft balcony once ( I can't remember which ship it was), but I loved it! I spent more time out there watching the wake than on any other cruise.....simply beautiful.
Aft balconies are my favorite!!! I love the views and you don't get the wind you get on a forward or even a port/starboard.
We were in Aft balcony on our Alaska cruise....loved it !!!-
My wife and I sailed the Odyssey awhile back and we ended up with an aft corner balcony. All I can say isWOW it was fantastic. I will be trying to score that same type of cabin on my next cruise.
Keep up the great work Tony, it is appreciated.
Subject to nausea with motion, along with being a very light sleeper (although the view is gorgeous), I’ll choose a more midship balcony/suite. Know I’d so enjoy the additional room, not worth risking an unpleasant cruise for me. Glad you had a great time! Thanks again for a great channel!
We sailed in an aft cabin in our last cruise and I loved it. We were on Carnival. I never noticed them docking. Once we woke and had already docked, but never woke. Our hangers did swing on the first night but we just put the leftover hangers on the floor like you did.
We stayed in this exact cabin in Jan 21 and LOVED it. I would book it again in a heart beat. It made me love aft facing balconies.
Thank you for sharing! First time cruiser here. Wonder if the seas. Aft balcony stateroom and I cannot wait. Looks like it’s a fantastic space.
Very funny, Tony! One of the best titles! 😂!
We reserved an aft cabin for our Viking cruise . First cruise in 25 years. Really looking forward to it after watching your review.
I’ve always avoided the aft because of engine vibration. Your walk to the elevator has reassured me I’ve made the right choice to book a cabin right near the elevators for my next three cruises.
Personally I’m a big fan of AFT cabins. Yes, there a little bit nosier then regular balcony cabins but I like the sound of the sea. And they are specially amazing if you do a scenic cruise!
Same! I like more rocking too.
Don't know who you cruised but my bride and I have been in the aft cabins on Holland America..Equinox and Celebrity Reflection and had a great time..the view is 180* and in our humble opinion the view of the heavens at night is awesome..👍🏻
Thanks for the tour Tony. We’re mid-ship cruisers to avoid the motion. The walk would be a plus for us to help burn off some of the cruise calories.
Hello there ! My first ever comment on any of your videos ! We are in an alf facing balcony for the very first time on next year's Star Trek cruise ! Your video made the aft facing cabin look amazing ! So excited now for our new experience !
Welcome to the Fam Kristen 👋🏻
Hahaha. Awesome title and thumbnail. And I’m a gentleman so I won’t answer that question, (until I’ve had a few drinks).
Simply posing the question about booking a cruise in an aft balcony! 🙂
Thanks Tony! I love the extra deep balcony and ability to get out of the sun/rain/wind, when needed. Plus the extra 6 ft of open cabin space to do morning yoga...kidding, thats where I'll picnic with my room service feast!
I've been on an aft balcony twice. Once on MSC Poesia and once on MSC Divinia. Loved them both. Both were much larger. The Poesia was very big. The Divinia was large on the inside but really long on the balcony. It fit 2 chaises, 2 chairs and a table with plenty of room. Also half balcony was covered and half in sun. Just watch the decks. Not all the same. Especially if the ship aft curves. I didn't feel any motion. But the only vibration I felt was the engines when docking. It was like having an alarm set each port day. I ran out onto the balcony to watch the docking procedure.
We love the aft cabin, so much that we actually booked a ship date of it had a vacant aft cabin!! The longer balcony is great, usually can get lounger chairs which are great for an afternoon nap. End the evening out there listening and watching the wake and the stars! So quiet and peaceful. I find the balcony is so much more calm, less wind than the sides, actually no wind. There is literally no hall traffic as only those on the aft are using that hall. The con is defiantly the long walk so if you have mobility issues I would not recommend. There may be more movement back there, we have had the hanger situation and felt some vibration but on the most part nothing out of the ordinary.
I'll have an aft Jan of 23, I said the same thing about a cove balcony with less wind, hall traffic never really bothers me. Can't wait for the Aft balcony
That’s a really good point about less hall traffic .. thank you
We stayed in the aft balcony on odyssey and our favorite part of this room was that you do not get any foot traffic by your door. You have a lot more privacy and will never been woken up by people running, talking or whatever else is happening in the hallways at night or early morning.
We had an aft balcony on Disney Fantasy and it was the best cabin EVER! you definitely feel vibration maneuvers, not anything to worry about. We never had any ash.
One thing Carnival does right is have 3 sets of elevators so the walk from anywhere on the ship is not so long. Royal usually only has two sets and it can be a hike from some parts of the ship.
HAL has three sets of elevators as well.
We always seek out Aft balcony cabins if they are available... not only are you away from foot traffic, but the "bonus space" on the balcony is a huge perk for us. I'm not super concerned about the walk to the elevators (as a previous poster mentioned, it's payment for the delicious food we enjoy on board)... what I would advise is watching for what's on the decks above. We'll usually try to get a cabin with one deck of other cabins above so we're not directly below the buffet, but if there's a party spot on the aft like NCL's Club H20 several decks of space are better... otherwise you need to be prepared to "relax" to the sound of dance music at all hours of the night...
Going on an aft cabin in 6 days, looking forward to it
Love aft balconies!
We had an aft balcony on the CCL Sunshine and loved it!!! Really didn’t feel any motion or noise and the view was not blocked at all. It was stunning!! And Tony!!! That walk to your elevator IS LONGGGGG!!!!!! We’ve had to walk that far to an elevator….strange but great looking cabin. :-) 🛳🌴🏝
We LOVE aft balconies. Ron was in the navy for years, and looking out at the wake behind the ship is his happy place
I agree with you about the color, I really like it. Some ships have red or bright orange (reminds me of the 70’s, not known for its great decorating style) the blue and beige is calming and classy. Nice video, thanks agree Tony. Have a great Thanksgiving!!
I have been aft and for me there is nothing like the sound of the water and the views. We have ncl haven aft suite end of Feb 22 for our return to caruising!!!
We just got off the Anthem this morning and seeing your cabin was like deja vous. Ours was identical but not aft and not quite as long as yours. The cabin ended about eight to ten inches beyond the dresser. And, of course the balcony was smaller. We were closer to the elevator but not by a lot. My husband uses a cane and he and I wondered why there wasn’t a third bank of elevators. The other item we really enjoyed was the electric kettle. First time I’ve encountered one on a cruise ship. Thanks for the tour.
GREAT AFT VIEW FROM THE BALCONY
We had the aft balcony cabin 10728 right next to you for two weeks in October. Loved that stateroom and the view was worth the longer than usual walk. It really is in a quiet area with no traffic that passes by your stateroom back there. Our bed was next to the balcony door and that extra floor space was great. We have exact same cabin 10728 for the 13 night transatlantic in Oct 2022 I would not hesitate to book one of these on future Odyssey sailings
Hey Tony San Diego here again on the Koningsdam we had the same issue with the bathroom if you sat properly on the toilet your knee was banging on the glass shower door I don’t know who invented that but it definitely was somebody that must’ve been 50 pounds or less it’s very hard to sit on the toilet properly so you kind of have to sit on it a little sideways we also found it kind of stupid that our toilet paper dispenser was behind the toilet so you had to pretty much do a twist and turn twister game to reach the toilet paper ..we just pulled it off the dispenser and kept it on the edge of the sink ..it was easier to get to .it’s a great cabin you have.. but I do think they could’ve made that shower area a little more square instead of kind of odd shape.a really tightly cramped place ..take care Tony ..love the cabin views ..take care of your health.. have a great trip Home….p.s… I hope they were bathrooms located between that long walk from your cabin and the elevator it sure would help me in my age because if there wasn’t they’d be some major problems right there lol…!
I was assigned an aft balcony once and fell in love with the location so now I try to get them every time. The only time I've noticed extra motion is when arriving and leaving ports. :)
Boardwalk balcony my favorite. Always first choice on deck 11 or 12
I've had an aft cabin on the Emerald Princess for a Caribbean Cruise. It was nice. I really don't remember any excess motion. Sitting back and watching the ships wake fade off to the horizon was a wonderful extra. Quiet and calm.
That looks like a fantastic balcony cabin … the space 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
We took a cruise out of Galveston a few years ago. There m was a mix up during check in that ended up with us being put in an aft cabin. It had an incredible balcony that wrapped around the corner of the ship! Yes, we noticed the movement and some vibration but it didn’t bother us so it turned out to be a nice thing.
We have sailed in an aft balcony and loved it. We will be on carnival magic in September in another adt balcony. Love them. We di have a problem on the aft balcony on Royal Princess with suet.
We sailed in aft cabin in Alaska we had constant views of all parts of inside passage, wonderful!
Omg you actually wrote “do you like it in the aft”. GETTIN SASSY THERE BARNETTE!!!!
We had a Sky Loft Suite on deck 8 on Ovation and had the same feeling about the long walk. We actually only went two the concierge lounge a couple times because it was also on the aft on deck 12 so to get there you had to walk all the way to the elevator and all the way back on deck 12. It’s not a big deal but we aren’t in the best shape so it felt longer lol.
We had aft balcony in Grand Princess... definitely more vibration but worth it for the wake view and bigger balcony!
I was on this same ship and got upgraded to the grand loft suite at the aft! Greatest cruise ever! Included a Genie
What’s a Genie? Please
@@jackieaudus9829
A genie is a person working for RC who is assigned to assist you the entire cruise and “grants all your wishes”. They also make all updates to your schedules while on the ship and personally escorts you around the ship….holding seats at the shows …welcoming you to the ship…checking on you at dinner to ensure you are ok…scheduling all activities…etc. they become your best friend!!
We’ve been getting free balconies on Carnival lately, otherwise we’d be inside. Balconies can be noisy depending on the neighbors, and not worth nearly double to us. On long cruises, we like the darkness of the inside cabin for sleeping in.
Thank you for sharing Tony, I've never seen a aft room its very nice. love that balcony
I would love that balcony. Good for you.
Googled Odyssey AFT balcony after earning a free cruise from the casino.. just realized I booked your exact room! Super excited, loved the video! I subscribed!
Do I like it in the aft? Well, that's a really personal question! 😉🤣
I think I need to book the aft! 😁
Hi Tony! Yes, sailed aft balcony on a cruise to Alaska. We LOVED the views and spent so much time on our balcony. I did have a bad bout of motion sickness and missed our first formal night. The hangers were really smacking the closet that day! Should have put the patch on earlier. I don’t know if I would go aft again. A more centralized location is more desirable.
Once you go Aft... 🤔
My hubby likes the aft balconies; I enjoy both a traditionally placed balcony and aft. I found there to be about the same amount of motion, but in the other direction. (rotated 90 degrees) For example - on a traditional balcony stateroom, the motion when laying in the bed might be side-to-side, while the aft stateroom - the motion might be head-to-toe. If motion bothers you, consider a different area of the ship. (or the motion patches, etc)
The aft Balcony is the Best had one twice , you have to try it once, and remember when booking there are only so many per cruise, get one before there gone.
Had the aft balcony deck 10 728 and the view was awesome, both at sea and in ports. Balcony was bigger than most. We also had the room next door (family) so we had them open the partition between the two balconies...outstanding.
Whenever possible, I sail AFT cabins. Yes, I feel the motion more, which is what I want. More vibration when docking but fine too. The view of the sea is why I cruise, so the other things are non issues. Nothing like standing on your balcony with the world welcoming you.
Happy Saturday!!! Cruising thru you! Thanks for taking us along!
Just got back from 7 days on the NCL Escape. This ship’s first time out since the shut down. What a wonderful NO MASK experience with a crew that was thrilled to be BACK!
I'm on for a back to back in Dec. Good to hear!
That looks like a really well thought out and spacious cabin.
I agree with you Tony about the decor and color as well.
I wonder if it would be for me because I can get motion sickness and usually I get a midship lower deck cabin.
The ship's motion doesn't make me seasick every time and I always take my medication so maybe I would be OK.
Hi Tony!
Aft balconies are way more spacious than regular balcony cabins
Thank you for the great aft balcony room tour 🛳☀️🌊
We’ve only experienced motion in the aft balconies during rough seas, like windy or stormy days.
Def an aft man myself as well
Yesss Aft balconies are Awesome 👏👏
We have had aft balconies on Freedom-class ships. There is a little more noise and vibration when docking and departing, but not significant. An aft corner balcony has a very large balcony. There is enough space for 8 to 10 people to enjoy a drink and the view before dinner.
But, it is a hike to the elevator.
Brad and I just got off an aft balcony yesterday. It was our first time for aft. We loved the spacious of the cabin and the balcony itself. The only negative is since you are in aft if the great coffee is all the way forward it is a lot of walking.....LOL.....We needed the walk after all the food but man first thing in the morning is tough....lol
Hi Tony, thanks for the comments. Cruising in April and we are on an Aft balcony suite also. Seems like a good choice. Safe travels
For someone who sailed freighters for over 30 years, that minor movement would just reminds me I'm on a ship. Merchant ships would vibrate more due to less insulation. Crew comforts were a little less of a concern on merchant vessels. There should be some vibration aft in shallow water as the prop thrust bounces off the mud below. Due to the shape of the stern they were able to include enough extra room for that dance floor, nice. If that's all they have I'm in but prefer a cabin forward to see where we're going. Good stuff, Tony.
I will not cruise unless I can book an aft facing balcony. It has better views than on the sides and so relaxing watching that wake go off into the distance. I rarely encounter engine noise or vibrations. Best way to go!
My husband and I chose aft balconies for years. We loved how "protected" it felt and love the sail away. But, we found there was a persistent smell of sewage and soot from the ship's chimney, so we finally gave it up. We have been happy on the port or starboard side of the ship. As for ship movement, we went to another extreme with cabins near the top and the front. I, personally, do not mind the movement of the ship (although hangers bonking would be irritating). I highly recommend trying an aft balcony on your ship of choice. It's definitely worth a few extra bucks for a bit more balcony space and a great view! (And thank you, Tony, for NOT slamming the door...ha ha!)
I love how the couch is closer to the balcony verses the bed.
Nice cabin but that was such a long walk to the elevator. Thanks for the tour.😎
Had an extended aft balcony on a cruise several years ago. No breeze and was always hot. When I woke up in the morning, the balcony was covered in cig butts. View was awesome.
The aft balcony has been my favorite cabin since I first found them abt 2003. Have a cruise coming up in January in one on Viking.
Corner Aft on Brilliance was awesome
I've had an aft cabin on the Celebrity Solstice. it was great. I loved sitting on the balcony and watching the ship's wake.
On the freaking Mardi Gras! Everyone tested negative! Two years waiting for this!! Thank you Tony for keeping me sane! Sailing away now!!!!!!!
We did have an Aft balcony. We absolutely loved it. The motion isn’t a bother to us. The rocking puts us to sleep. Our room was in a cove like away from the hall noise. Elevators weren’t too far.
Dude, I love your tease image for this video 🤣🤣.
My fav balcony location 😎
We just got back on the carnival Paradise last week we had a aft facing window room and it was great plenty of room for two and lots of storage. Yes a little noisey leaving the dock and docking but sea days were fine. Would do it again.
It seems funny that there's not more furniture on that massive extended balcony. Is it possible to request actual loungers? We sailed in an aft balcony years ago on the Carnival Pride, and LOVED it. One of my favorite things was how quiet it was; nobody is passing by in the hall except the neighbors, so no kids running around at all hours making noise 😎 I didn't mind the long walks to the elevators, it was good exercise given how much we were eating 😂 I wouldn't recommend an aft cabin for anyone prone to motion sickness, but we were drinking so much our bodies didn't expect the floor to be holding still 🤪
We loved our aft balcony on the Mardi Gras. We should have showed you and Jenny
We had an aft cabin on a 9 night Princess cruise in the Caribbean. We liked the privacy but noticed it got very hot on the balcony as there was very little breeze. The cabin was larger than a regular balcony cabin.
We had AFT Balcony when we went to Alaska on Princess, In fact we got upgraded to it. We loved it. It was completely awesome!!
This looked cool especially the size of the bathroom.
We had the aft corner suite on Majestic. HUGE balcony that was a waste with all the rain. Would be great in a warm climate. 1st time aft. Not sure I liked it. We had the vibration and had to move the hangars too. But it was a beautiful cabin. I did do a video of it. It's on RUclips under the account of grannybsgeckos. We are doing another aft suite in 3 days!!! On the Ruby. Going warmer but with a bit smaller balcony, than the corner. Will still be huge for us! This will probably be our last aft, and almost for sure our last suite, as we are out of FCCs lol
Great video. Wanted to check out an aft stateroom before booking. We are now on the Odyssey of The Seas back-to-back in November 2023 in aft facing stateroom. Now I just have to figure out how to get the stateroom attendant to bring to loungers down to the room for us LOL
Prop wash will give you some motion and vibration. Midship is probably the best place to be.
This is my Cabin in September ! Luckily a good friend gave me a tour of 10728 last month when we were on board
I have only had an aft balcony once and loved it! Did not really notice a lot of motion, probably depends on sea conditions. Loved the big balcony that you can use a lot since you don’t get the sun directly on it! The views when leaving ports of call were awesome! I would say go for it unless you are “ super sensitive” to motion😃
We have an AFT room on Norwegian Encore on 7/2. So excited and Ty.
My wife and I are staying in an aft penthouse suite with large balcony on the Norwegian Sky in a couple weeks (Aug 12 sailing)…we plan on spending quite a bit of time out on that balcony….it looks amazing. This will be our first time in an aft cabin…looks like I made a wise choice based on this video…cannot wait. I also plan to spend extensive time “testing the fates”.
It was nice to see I’m.not the only one who lines up the hangers on the floor! The only time I stayed at the aft of the ship I would literally be rolled right out of my bed at night with the motion.
Love aft cabins. Sailed one in 2014 to Alaska and I am back in the exact same cabin this June for another trip to Alaska. The views are really amazing and I would highly recommend it, especially for Alaska. We are on Celebrity but the balcony looked very similar. We had a couple recliners as well.
Aft facing cabin is wonderful, providing the passenger(s) are aware of:
1- Hangers will move. Doors will swing. The older the ship, the more it squeaks.
2- Engine vibrations, at least to me, are heard and felt; especially at night if the ship is going faster than the normal slow day-time cruising speed. Having served in USN, the subtle movement is all part of the experience of being at sea on a large ship. But, small ferries in weather on the Baltic Sea or the Mediterranean are another story.
3- Possible noise from party venues one deck below and one deck above. Spa one deck above is okay, but gym or basketball court is not. So, choose carefully.
4- Views while docked varies with each port and which way the ship is pointed. Sometimes it was a view of shipping containers, or the aft cabins of another ship that was as close as it could be docked. Often the aft view was of the pretty part of the port or an expansive view of the bay. There were ports where the industry view was on the side of the ship facing the dock, leaving the scenic view on the outboard side - meaning the aft cabin view offered a choice.
5- On the ships I've been on, the aft cabin balconies were longer than port and starboard balconies.
6- Widths of aft cabin balconies on the same deck can vary. Do not depend on the cruise lines' web site photos. Look for square foot descriptions. Some RUclipsrs state measurements. Zoom in on photo images.
Also, as one leaves the elevator lobby and goes aft, it gets quieter and there is less foot traffic than mid-ship between the elevator lobbies.
Great videos Tony!!
Nice bathroom! The big guys in the bathroom🤣. That’s gold jerry! Gold! Love the tour guys
Love aft facing rooms.. Always book them now. I figure if the movement feels "boatie" its supposed to and we don't mind it. Don't mind the walk either but we tend to like to relax on the balcony at night and drink and talk rather than immerse ourselves in the peopley stuff :)
