Beachammo Posted June 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just booked cabin 7708 aft balcony on the Independence. Couldn't believe it was still available for a September 2015 cruise. The pictures I've found of the balcony show two lounge chairs......but some posts have stated that the lounge chairs have been removed. Has anyone stayed on the aft lately and can confirm one way or the other? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone stayed on the aft lately and can confirm one way or the other? Thanx March of last year we were in Aft Balcony 7414 I always write about every room we stay in and I wrote about this room being that the room was great Junior Suite but Balcony OK. Which probably meant it was pretty small with only one lounge chair and a table with 2 chairs. Good luck and have a great trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graby5401 Posted June 5, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2015 February 14 2015 cruise. We had two loungers/1 table for aft 9404. Great Views. You will love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachammo Posted June 5, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks for the replies.... Looking forward to the wraparound aft cabin. The balcony would look very empty without loungers. Chow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted June 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2015 We were just in 8712 on Indy April 25 - May 3. We were aft, but not a corner aft. We still had 2 loungers, 2 chairs and a small table. All the other aft balconies I was able to see (3 others on our cabin crawl) had the same furniture as we did. Enjoy your corner aft! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted June 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 6, 2015 We just got off Indy Sunday and we not only had 2 loungers, we had 3! I made our cabin attendant remove one, he was not happy but did it. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted June 6, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks everyone..... There is another thread today that reported that the Liberty does not have loungers on any of their D/E aft balconies. My DW will be glad Independence kept them on the large aft balconies.

cavemom Posted August 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Funny I'd see you post about 1402...that will be our room on our Nov sail. You said hammock...there's a hammock??? It would make my hubby's week if he saw a hammock out on our balcony....lol. Do you have any balcony/room pics as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you link me to the thread where it said Liberty has no loungers on D&E's? We will be in 1700 on the Liberty in 58 days, celebrating our 25th and that celebration included laying in loungers on our beautiful aft balcony!! Ugh!! I will be so mad! We might have to sneak them down to our room!! I am normally very much a rule follower but this just makes no sense! Thanks Lauri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a youtube video of this cabin.. I think it under aft balcony 1402, by stephanie something.. It will give you an idea of the cabin.. It was great and would book in a heartbeat again..

Thanks Lauri Hey Lauri This is the thread I was refuring too when I had heard Liberty afts didn't have loungers. Hopefully the policy has changed.

Have fun Last time we were on LOS-2 yr ago?- Officers said absolutely NOT would they allow loungers on the D aft balcony. The room att. would lose their job if they did bring any. All the other ships seemed OK from what the thread at that time had posted, just Liberty unless it has changed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhfy Posted August 24, 2015 #20 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We're in 7710 on Liberty on 13 November, first cruise out of Galveston, sure hope there's loungers, it's our first aft cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun I read on another thread that while they do not have loungers, they do have chairs with the footstools, so that sounds pretty comfy! Surprised that RCI doesn't make a decision about loungers on balconies and make it stick across all ships. Why is it dangerous on Liberty but not on Adventure? We enjoyed 1388/1688 on Adventure with loungers! love, love, love these acts! Thanks, Lauri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairs with ottomans work for me! They may actually be more comfortable than loungers. I just didn't want to sit in a straight back chair with my feet on the balcony! Something about putting your feet up that makes me feel so relaxed! Lauri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatterb Posted August 25, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We board this Sunday, August 30, and are staying in cabin 7708. I will try to remember to update you as to the loungers.
