Aft cabins

[cru2]

Hiya

 

I was just wondering if anyone could help please?

 

this might seem like a stupid question but is the movement really noticable Aft of a ship more so than forward? we usually have mid ship cabins so never been a problem before, but our last cruise we where in a Forward cabin & i found it really bad & spent most of the time feeling really nauseous (sp)!

I've stayed on deck 14 aft and its not really noticeable, the handiness of the amenities out ways any slight rocking you might get which is very little, BOB permitting!

We had aft cabins overlooking the wake on Arcadia and loved it! We also went through a force 12!!! No problem at all! Would definitely book the cabin again.

We go mostly for aft or nearest back as we can and never had any problems. We booked a late deal in October and was given the 2nd cabin from the front and we felt the movement really badly.:eek:

This is Oriana pitching in moderate seas off Spain. Watch carefully and you will see that the stern moves just as much as the bow. It is like a see saw. BUT without a doubt you feel it a lot more forrard because you are 'closer to the action' shall I say. You get the bangs and crashes from the waves smashing against the ship. Down aft , while it is moving as much, you tend not to feel it anything like as much and , in fact, it can just rock you off to sleep.

 

Take a large gin'n'tonic and a Nytol and you will sleep through anything !!!

Have a great trip.

We always have an aft cabin if we can get one and love them. We have never felt any problems with movement. The only thing that you hear is the bow thrusters working when the ship is docking. If you look on some of the American sites you will see people are really keen on having aft cabins. Looking over the wake of the ship is one of the great things of being at sea - in our opinion.

Thanks everyone just that we are looking at booking Britannia for next July n that seemed the only cabin type left that fits our circumstances.

Brittania is huge. You would have to be out in quite a big sea to get her pitching noticeably. Very unlikely you will have anything to worry about there.

Ivygirl, can I ask which deck you consider to be good on the aft of Arcadia?

 

We are looking to book but understand that the D deck aft balconies are very dark.

 

Does anyone else have any thoughts on the aft cabins/balconies on Arcadia?

We always go for E deck.The balconys on this deck are larger.

E163 and 167.

Thank you for your reply.

 

Am I right in thinking that the cabins you have mentioned are on the side of the ship?

[kir royale]

Yes, towards the Aft, a quiet location with not much passing traffic.
