Aft Cabins on Victory?

[paul5689]

Just wanting to know if anyone has done the aft cabins on Victory, or the Triumph? We might have opportunity for upgrade, but I want to make sure that leaving a balcony 8C on the Empress Deck 7 would truly be the thing to do. Please give us your impressions, pics, or other information. Thanks.

We had an aft balcony on the Victory in 2009. It was WONDEFUL! The only issue we had was, at that time, there was a Latino Lounge located right below our cabin, in fact, according to the pursers desk, our cabin was directly above the drum set, so our floor vibrated until 1am. HOWEVER, they no longer have a Latino Lounge right below the aft balconies,( we were on the upper deck. ) Now there is the comedy club below the aft balconies, I cannot see any noise issues with the comedy club. We were in cabin 6440.

 

The most wonderful thing about about the aft balcony is that each night when you leave port at sunset you can sit on your lounge chair and watch the island sink off into the sunset. Priceless. One other hint about the Victory. It is so port intensive (and that is a good thing), but it is nice to be on deck at sunset when you are leaving port, so it is better to pick the late dining. Sunset is around 6 15 every night.

We had an aft cabin on the Triumph in Nov. Deck 8. LOVED IT!!! We didn't have any noise issues and that part of the hall was very quiet. The wide balcony had 2 loungers, a chair and table.

 

After having this aft, my DH will now only go on a cruise if he can have an aft balcony.
