Aft Cabins

[beachlady60]

Does anyone have pictures of Aft cabins on decks 9 and 10 on the Star or the Dawn that they can post? Thanks in advance.

Oh my goodness beachlady you've been all around the ship. Looks like you are having a tough time with your decision :D

 

NCL Website is very good when it comes to their photos online. They are really accurate. The only differences were the loveseat, curtains and carpet colours.

If you pick a cabin number and Google it, you will find many pictures online, that's what I did in order to see the same cabins you are asking about.

Here is our Deck 10 Aft cabin on the Dawn (decorated by my friends for my birthday). I think I have more of the balcony if you need that as well.

;) Well I was right it looks identical to the photo on the NCL website. Well with the exceptions of the balloons :cool: Hope you had a great birthday onboard.

It was fabulous. Thank you!! To give beachlady a feel for the balcony here is one I found here on CC, not mine, before we sailed.

I'd love to be able to sail in the aft, it would be so nice to see where you have left and the balconies are so much bigger.

Unfortunately although on both of my cruises I only had one evening that it was a little iffy for sea sickness, our cabin was mid ship, deck 10. I know a quite a few years ago when we went on a one day cruise from Florida to Bahamas we had spent a good portion of the time in a lounge that was at the front of the ship and I was very sick. So I really hate to risk it.

I can understand. Do you take anything for it? My sister is very seasick prone, but has not had any problem on any of her cruises, including in the aft cabins. We both take a bonine every day of a cruise as a preventive measure. But that's just our experience - I can totally understand not wanting to take the risk because there is little worse than getting seasick!

I really haven't found the U.S. meds worked for me. We have gravol here in Canada and it works fine so I've never been physically ill just feel nauseated, take it, all's good. But you are not suppose to drink with that (which could really put a damper on my margarita and wine tasting);)

 

I've taken seabands (little wrist things) with me but as I said I only had the one evening, it was bedtime so I took a gravol and went to sleep. So I've never had a chance to try them. A couple of times in the casino I was again iffy not overly nauseated, figured it was probably due to the location of the casino so went back to the cabin and I was fine. OK well it might have been due to the amount I was losing to :eek:.

 

One day I may get the courage to try an aft. We are very new to cruising and it's all a learning curve, but hey I'm enjoying the classes so far, nothing like the learning I had to do in school. :p

Have you tried Ginger---they have tablets, gum, tea all in ginger and this worked great for my sister who gets motion sickness from anything that moves!! LOL

LOL if I get up the nerve to try "aft" cruising, I may try just about anything to take with me. Thanks for idea.

It's funny, but all the times we have been in a "aft" cabin we never noticed anymore motion than midship. Just make sure you can get the lowest deck possible ( the lower you are seems like the less movement you feel). Just hope watching the wake doesn't make you sick too!! The best part about being way back there is watching the wake--not to mention the privacy!

 

Maybe try a short 3 or 4 day cruise in a stern cabin--see how it goes!

 

Happy cruising!:)

I'd love to do that but unfortunately I only get a one week winter holiday in 2-3 years usually (self employment - never seems to work out to take one a year). And I need the time because no matter where I go I'd have to fly there to cruise (Canada).

 

So I'll stick to my mid ship balcony for a few more cruises, unless some upsell fairy wants to give me a smashing good deal to try elsewhere, just sayin! :D

Understand totally--we have to fly everywhere too!! No matter what direction we go it's the same amount of time and miles!!:rolleyes:

 

Life is too short--give yourself a little more cruising time!!;) I know what you mean tho. We where self employed for many many yrs--cattle ranch/farm in ND. Gotta do what ya gotta do until you can take the time off!

Yes, I've been all over the ship. I always have a hard time making decisions. I drive my DH crazy! He hates to go shopping with me. Well, I made my (our) decision. We booked an AFT balcony on the Star for May 2012. So that's over with! Now I'll see what other questions I can up with.

I'm sure you'll love, happy planning. I really love the planning part, I've been doing that since I got off my last cruise and I don't even have another one planned yet.

I do hope this worked, if it did this is your balcony. As you can see there is plenty of room. There is still another lounger that you can't see. ENJOY!!!

Which cabin did you book? We will be in 9738 on the Star in January. I'll take lots of pics.

Does anyone have pictures of Aft cabins on decks 9 and 10 on the Star or the Dawn that they can post? Thanks in advance.

 

 

I have some recent of the rear of the Dawn as taken from the Pearl when they were back to back. Is that what you want or are you looking for interior pictures?

[beachlady60]

Some inside pictures would be nice. Thanks.
