vbmom87 Posted March 13, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I read this forum pretty regularly and often see how so many people absolutely love their aft balconies. With this in mind it seems odd to me that an aft balcony was available for a guarantee booking. Seems like they would have been all booked. Am I missing something?

HamOp Posted March 13, 2013 #24 Share Posted March 13, 2013 And at least while underway, you can enjoy a smoke knowing that the wind will carry it off the ship. No one should be bothered by that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madera1 Posted March 14, 2013 #25 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Congratulations on the upgrade. We just got off our cruise and were in an aft verandah cabin. It was our second time with this type of room and we have LOVED both. Enjoy and Happy Honeymoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
