Carnival Triumph Aft View Extended Balcony

[klgreen803]

Is this worth the extra money? Am I correct in thinking that since we are sailing from Galveston to Cozumel and back to Galveston that the sun won't be directly in our faces but will be to one side or the other?

aft balconies are bigger then the side ones.

aft balconies get no ocean breezes and tend to stay warm

the view is amazing.

 

the walk to the stairs/elevators is long but the halls are quiet as people tend not to go where they dont have to.

 

the aft balconies get full sun- there is no shade back there during the day

 

I used to love the aft balconies but since they changed the categories I can no longer afford them

Thanks for your reply. I passed the info along to my SIL, who is my travel partner, and she is still determined that we get an aft balcony even if it will be sunny during the day.

We had an aft extended on the Triumph, 8th deck, and loved it. It is definitely deeper and has an additional chair. The ones on the 8th deck that are on the ends are even wider.

 

We did not have sun 100% if the time, but we got phenomenal sunrise/sunset views. And although it is a little bit of a walk to the elevators, the aft stairs up to the Lido are very close. We ended up using them alot.

 

After that aft on the Triumph, my DH will not reserve unless he can get an aft balcony.
