Re 221 - we were in 215, a catagory 8 (now 7) for the trip. we had booked 219 for a cruise in 2010 and checked out the 2 stern suites with folks staying in them - there were no complaints about noise or motion. But beware! Drakes passage can be difficult irrespective of location. Yes 221 is a bit smaller than other category 6 suites, but the stern view is worth it!

Thanks for the insight! I like rough seas. In fact, on a TA crossing on Cunard that was particularly rocky I was in heaven. When it finally calmed down, everyone seemed so happy - I was disappointed.

Although I have a feeling this experience just might test my mettle.

ducksoupforme,

 

We were also in a category 6 cabin, but not 221. If it is laid out the same (see photo), we found it to be very comfortable. It isn't very large, but it is very workable and comfortable. The ship is very well stabalized and quiet. We never heard the passengers next to us.

Thanks hobse!

I'm so glad I came across this thread!

My partner and I will be on the NGE in Feb. 2011 to Antarctica.

I can't believe we have booked so far in advance!

We will be in cabin 221 - aft ship in the center. Looks like a great location but I expect it will be rocky at times.

Has anyone seen this cabin? It looks smaller that the other cabins in its category but we are willing to trade space for location.
