I Cruised in a Cabin That Faces BACKWARDS

Editorial Summary

The creator explores the experience of staying in an aft-facing balcony cabin on the Emerald Princess while cruising around the UK. After being encouraged by a travel agent to try a less common cabin location, the creator notes that only two percent of cabins on the ship are situated at the back. The cabin features a traditional design with wood accents and a large open wardrobe, though the creator mentions a sensor-activated light in the wardrobe area that can be inconvenient. While the cabin is an obstructed view due to a large pole on the balcony, the creator finds the massive balcony space to be a significant benefit, offering views straight down to the sea without seeing other decks. The creator addresses common concerns regarding aft cabins, such as increased motion, the smell of engine fumes, and the long walk to ship amenities. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the view is amazing and the balcony provides a versatile space that can be used for sun or shade, despite the distance from the rest of the ship.
