Aft Cabin Cruise Ship
Their main feature is that they provide glorious views of the ships wake.
Aft cabin cruise ship. Usually all the afts are booked first except for Deck 7 which are over the Congo Bar. I have not experienced the shimmy or vibration that others have reported. Also asked a lot is where is the best place on the ship to book forward midship or aft.
Aft cabins can feel more movement from the ships thrusters. While not the worst cabins on a cruise ship for motion sickness aft cabins can reflect the motion of the ocean. In the past prior to modern day cruise ship design and stabilising technology it was the case that the mid-ship area was always the best bet for cabin position.
Aft is a nautical adjective meaning toward the back of the ship Aft balcony staterooms are therefore located at the rear of the ship and must fit the nonstandard shape of the ships stern. Aft facing balcony cabins tend to have larger extended balconies and offer an amazing view of the ships. Forward and aft areas were considered noisy and often not the most ideal areas for passengers that are susceptible to motion sickness.
Additionally they often lack a lot of neighboring rooms as well. By far the nicest cabin and balcony we have ever stayed inp We currently booked 7172 aft Deck 7 on the Serenade of the Seas for a 10 nite southern Caribbean sailing for 2016. The white noise from the ships wake is pretty neat.
They are super popular with cruisers. One nice aspect of our cabin is being located in the corner of the ship. Posted June 11 2008.
On most other cruise lines aft-facing cabins are more expensive. We booked a D4 category which is a Premium Deluxe Cabin on. Aft cabins are a cabin type which is situated at the back or aft part of a cruise ship.
