Default 6690 aft AOS

We are leaving Sunday 10/18 for a cruise to S. Caribbean and are in 6690 aft. Has anyone stayed in this cabin. I am having doubts about the views from the balcony and the size of the balcony. Can anyone help?

You will overlook the WAKE of the ship (it's an aft cabin)--your balcony will be deeper than any on the side of the ship.
What are you worried about?
Your cabin will be the same as any other in that catagory.

Not really worried, more curious if anyone had a pic of the cabin, that's all. I do know that the category on AOS does not look directly down into the wake, as there is a deck of sorts that protrudes out from the mid cabins.

I'm booked in 7690 directly above you in January and have wondered the same things. I think I'll be happy with it because I know the balcony is bigger, but not sure about all the steel structure well be looking through. Have a great cruise!

the aft balcony on deck 6 does open to a deck of somekind- it is not opened for the passengers though



kinda late to make changes since you are sailing in less then a week.
Did you book this last minute?

I wasn't even planning on changing, just wondered what it looked like and if anyone had a picture. Thanks for the picture~! At least no nuts can jump off their balcony on that deck!
