Aft Staterooms

[lovetotraveltx]

We had a bad experience in an Aft stateroom in a much smaller ship than the NCL Breakaway. Is Aft ever an issue on such a large ship? Thank you!

[Two Wheels Only]

Are you asking about aft (location) or aft-facing on Breakaway?

[BirdTravels]

Issue?

 

Soot from the engines. Sometimes. 

 

Vibrations from the azipods?  Some (esp when docking. 

 

People dropping stuff on your head. Maybe.

We always sail aft suites on decks 9 or ten on Jewel or Dawn class and have never had any problem with anything. Best view on the ship.

Loved our AFB on the Pearl in Alaska.  Never a problem with soot.  You can feel the thrusters, but we entered and left port during waking hours so no problem.

Why not deck 8 out of curiosity?

Aft facing on Epic vibrates a lot but we only like aft facing cabins so we deal with it, aft facing on Sun and Dawn (suites and regular) were fine, trying aft facing on Breakaway Dec. 2019.  Aft facing Pearl suite was fine also, I do remember just a tiny bit of soot 2 days on one of the ships but no big deal.

It vibrated a lot, hard to sleep. We were on deck 7 but a smaller ship.

From my experience the balconies on 9 and 10 are larger on the Jewel class ships.

Some of the jewel class have the nightclub on deck 7 aft.

Deck 9 Aft balcony on the Getaway last month...no vibrations, no soot.  Absolutely loved it.

We had an aft facing on the Pearl, deck 9, and loved it.  Didn't feel any vibration except when docking.  We felt a little more vibration on the Bliss, deck 12, but mostly when docking.

Been in an aft cabin on the Sky and Pearl - love them - the Sky does not have azipods  and the rear thrusters caused lots of vibration when docking. Less so on the Pearl with the pods. The only time we had vibration on the pearl was when it made a wide turn by turning one of them slightly - you could  see the difference in the wake pattern. On the Pearl the Bliss lounge is on deck 7 so the cabins on deck 8 are directly above them - they also have the smallest balconies - ten has the largest - and also the most exposed to deck 11 and the Great Outdoors Cafe. But I will take being able to have loungers over chairs.

The Great Outdoors is on deck 12. Deck 11 is all cabins.

We had an AFB deck 10 on the Epic in Rome.. it was awesome.

We just booked and AFB on the Joy for next August...the count down begins.

Some Vibration on epic but not enough to discourage is from doing it again.

Besides the view was awesome..sunsets and sunrise's were spectacular.

I do know that the GO is on 12 on the Pearl and that is what I meant it just did not translate to  the post - but it is on 11 on the Sky :)

Deck 8 is below public areas, Bliss lounge on the Pearl, shops on the Jewel I think, not sure of the others.

We have been in AFT cabins on the Escape and Getaway twice. Never really had any major problems on deck 13 except a little soot once in awhile. Cabin # 13308 and 13306 same spot on the two ships and we have the same room for the Bliss Dec 8th.

We stayed in aft suites on the Star and the Jade. Loved them both. No noise or soot. We would definitely choose again. The Star was the best as is also has a side area as well. Great experiences.
