Aft facing cabins are my favorite!
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.
We always book the aft balcony. It is very relaxing. ❤️
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.
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 ☺️
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 were in Aft balcony on our Alaska cruise....loved it !!!-
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.
Happy Saturday!!! Cruising thru you! Thanks for taking us along!
Very funny, Tony! One of the best titles! 😂!
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 👋🏻
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.
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 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.
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.
I couldn’t wait to see what you thought! Yay!
Thank you for sharing Tony, I've never seen a aft room its very nice. love that balcony
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!!
Love this video Tony! Thanks for sharing.
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 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!
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
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.
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. :-) 🛳🌴🏝
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! 🙂
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
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.
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
Beautiful ship, great cabin. I loved how much room you get in that aft cabin, I've always wanted to book one!
We are forever fans. Thank you for your updates and hard work.
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
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.
We LOVE aft balconies. Ron was in the navy for years, and looking out at the wake behind the ship is his happy place
That looks like a fantastic balcony cabin … the space 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really nice cabin! We really like the layout where the bed is by the bath and the sofa by the balcony doors. Just seems so much more roomy than the other way around. Fantastic balcony!
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 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 sailed in aft cabin in Alaska we had constant views of all parts of inside passage, wonderful!
THANKS for the walk. It really gave a good perspective.
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. :)
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.
Nice bathroom! The big guys in the bathroom🤣. That’s gold jerry! Gold! Love the tour guys
Thanks for the video! Looking forward to my aft cabin in April!
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.
Great video Tony!! I’ve stayed in an aft balcony on Mariner. I think it was a JS. Loved it but we didn’t like how the back of the ship was. There was a large open space from the balcony to the end of the ship and there were a lot of metal bars. If you look at the back of it in a pic you’ll see. So just be sure you’re ok with the aft balcony before booking. Yours is top notch!
Absolutely perfect!
Thanks for this review! I chose a standard balcony over an aft for my December cruise only because I had some concerns but this looks great.
Was upgraded to a mini suit aft balcony on a cruise to South America around Cape Horrn ... West to East. Fabulous! Especially the deck where we had chaise longes for great afternoon naps traveling thru the Straits of Magellan.
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.
Great videos Tony!!
Love aft balconies!
Sailed aft facing balcony in Alaska on Island Princess. Magical!!! I agree that the only minus would be the long walk to the elevators and stairs. We loved the view so much that we have an aft balcony booked on NCL Joy for Feb 2022.
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.
Thank you for the tour. Elevator placement is why I always book mid-ship balcony rooms. It’s a very long walk from aft to mid-ship. Especially on an Oasis class ship which is what we usually sail on.
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!)
Great cabin and tour!! Thank 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!
Thanks for showing us Tony. I have not been on royal yet. I love the sliding door🙂
I would love that balcony. Good for you.
I like the rolling of the sea, so I love an aft cabin!
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
Was on Celebrity Summit Aft balcony deck 8 or 9. Amazing even during semi tropical storm. The depth of balcony was over 20 feet. Had another Princess aft suite in Greece that had spectacular views every day.
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 👏👏
Have an aft balcony booked next year. Can't wait!
Thanks for the video! I just booked this cabin. Thanks for the great content.
I've booked an aft silver junior suite with big balcony (J1) on Spectrum (younger sister to Odyssey) on the 12th deck. Its a much bigger room than this and comes with a bathtub. Can't wait for my cruise :). There are similar aft rooms on the 13th deck but not the best because deck 14 above is a public area :)
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.
You are correct. Aft rooms can be noisy when docking. Still book one every chance I get. Can't beat the view.
Boardwalk balcony my favorite. Always first choice on deck 11 or 12
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!!
My husband and I always try and get an aft balcony. We love them and I've never really noticed more motion. We love to enjoy our balcony so the larger one makes sense to us.
I recently subscribed to your channel, I’ve only been on one cruise so far, Carnival Ecstasy September 2019. I look forward to the next time I go, probably after Covid, if Covid ends. If Covid doesn’t end I’ll get back on the waves. Really enjoying your channel, all these videos of cruises reminds me of one of the best vacations I’ve had.
I always say when the Coronavirus gets to influenza status… although it arrived here via SARS in 2003.., I’m just hoping it will become manageable. I’m guessing it is probably not going away. Hope you are able to get out there soon; it’s great
I’m on an aft facing balcony right now; I love them! A few years ago I was lucky and a guaranteed balcony turned into an aft facing balcony. I’ve been an aft man ever since. ;)
That’s my favorite way to cruise is the AFT balcony. Not only you have they best view but i feel it provide more space than the regular balcony suite.
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.
Love our aft facing cabins on Celebrity. Our first one was a aft facing Sky Suite on the Equinox in 2018. There’s nothing like watching the wake and the world go by.
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.
Enjoyed the tour. Good tip about placing the hangers in the floor. I’m sure you can feel more motion in AFT area than Mid.
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.
Just got off the Majestic Princess on the AFT. We were blessed with a gorgeous cabin with a wrap around balcony (best of both worlds!). The good definitely out weighed the vibration and extra movement (which wasn’t bad on our voyage). Thankfully, as you know, there are 3 banks of elevators on the Majestic, and only had to walk (Scoot) Mid if we were going to the dining room. I would definitely choose AFT when ever possible! The dolphins chasing the ship…amazing! The wake view…are you kidding me? Amazing!The only challenge for me at times was I had a scooter, and when the room stewards had their carts out, it was a tight squeeze. I noticed the Odyssey had even more narrow hallways. Don’t think I would have made it through that maze!!! My vote will always be AFT!!!
I loved the aft balconies we have had. I always try and get one because they always seem bigger and have amazing views.
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”.
GREAT AFT VIEW FROM THE BALCONY
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.
Always my fave!!!
This cabin looks amazing we would cruise if we were guaranteed this cabin!!!!! Love it thanks for the tour!!!! ~Cara 😊
Awesome room! Hubby and I have cruised only once. Nov 1 sailing on the Carnival Valor. We had the premium vista - cabin 7440. It was amazing! Aft and port side views! We had a rough sea day on our last day, and there was definitely a lot of movement, half the ship was feeling it, me included. The ship felt like a gyroscope that day, but very little movement, other than like you mentioned, during docking or leaving port. We are booked with our three teens in April on the Sunrise, with the aft facing and the premium vista next to it, and we cannot wait!
Omg you actually wrote “do you like it in the aft”. GETTIN SASSY THERE BARNETTE!!!!
Just got out of my 2nd aft balcony on Vista. Looking forward to next cruise in March on Dream. Another aft balcony. I love the view, the motion and the comfort of the room and the balcony.
Tony I agree I took a trip on the magic stayed in the aft cabin and I thought I'd never was gonna get to the other end of the ship and the glass on the balcony was so nasty that you couldn't see through it they said that was fall out from the funnel.But I still enjoyed it. Keep cruising Tony love the show
Tony it looks like a great cabin. I had a balcony on the Panorama near the aft . We were in the second to last cabin on the Starboard side. It was great. I agree there are some things you feel that you don't normally feel when you are further forward.
