Creator's Key Takeaways

We have tried an aft balcony cabin for the first time.

I hate this room. I've hit my head so many times.

It was actually lovely and very peaceful just to have super big balcony.

It is an obstructed view. So, if you don't want an obstructed view, be mindful of that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be mindful of the Pullman bed height to avoid hitting your head.
If light sensitive, block the motion-activated nightlight sensor.
Close curtains completely to block light from the ship's exterior.
Consider noise from ship operations when staying in an aft cabin.

Ever wondered if the "Aft View" hype is real? Join us as we walk through our aft-facing balcony stateroom on Explorer of the Seas. The balcony was huge compared to standard balcony rooms we've stayed in, but it was an obstructed view. We discuss some challenges we had in this cabin at the end. #exploreroftheseas #royalcarribean #royalcaribbeancruise #cabintour #cruiseship Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & Cabin Tour 03:26 Cabin Review If you found this tour helpful, please hit the Like button and Subscribe for more content!
