Creator's Key Takeaways

will you just love an aft-facing balcony cabin or will you regret it in this video i'm going to share with you my honest pros and cons

so you will have that amazing wake view while you are sailing while you're cruising but you'll also have that amazing wake view at sail away

they are more spacious so really you could have double or even triple the space that you'd have in a regular balcony cabin

vibration and noises so yes you're definitely in the aft of the ship we'll hear a little bit of those vibrations overall personally we found it pretty quiet most of the time

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Choose a cabin on a lower deck to avoid noise from bars or entertainment areas above.
โœ“Consider the long walk to aft cabins if accessibility to elevators is important.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Vibration and noise โ€” Most of the time it's quiet, but be aware of potential shudders when sailing into ports.
Long walk to cabin โ€” If accessibility is important, choose a midship or mid-aft cabin instead.
