First Time Cruiser On Pride-Is this a good or bad stateroom?

[stavs]

Wife and I are first timers and we chose a balcony stateroom. We let Carnival decide which stateroom. Figured I would roll the dice. We were assigned the following: category 8n 8270.

 

This is at the back of the ship, which seems like it would be cool, but what do I know. Is it good or bad to be all the way at the back of the ship? :confused:

Which ship are you on? Typically balconies are great. If you give the ship then others can comment on locale better.

Whoops! My bad! We are on the Pride from May 30th. Only reason I opted for a balcony was so i could have the luxury of smoking without having to go anywhere special. :)

You got very lucky. Enjoy your cruise.

That's an aft cabin and many people love those! It seems like a great assignment if you booked a guarantee!

 

Others who have cruised on this class of ship can give more specifics (size of balcony, room configuration, etc.)

Woah, dude, you got an aft extended balcony. Nice score. You will be spoiled and not want to go back to the regular ole little balconies. LOL

 

There is a link a few pages down (maybe page 2) called "Show me your aft". Scan through the thread for pictures of an aft balcony. You do not have a wrap-around, but you will have an extended. It's deeper and gives more room as opposed to a regular side balcony.

Cool! So, since its listed on the "My Cruise" page, they wont change it, right?

To many people the catagory 8N and 8M are Balcony GOLD!!

So Id say JackPot!!

We Love the AFT view...the wake behind the ship is my favorite view!

Enjoy!!

:D

I agree with the others here. This should be an EXCELLENT cabin. Have a great time aboard Pride!

My first Carnival cruise was a group cruise, and we were put in an aft. Been spoiled ever since.

Please take pics and post them.

 

Enjoy!

They *could* change it. Will they? Probably not.

 

Enjoy and come back and post pics for us to drool over.:D
