AFT BALCONY CABIN TOUR - Royal Caribbean Odyssey of the Seas Cabin 10328

[@johnb4100]

Aft facing cabins are my favorite!

[@kathybonadonna6417]

hey tony, just an fyi, the shower head has a button that you press to have a stronger stream, my last cruise i found it on the last day.

[@ToddRileyRealEstate]

I like how you make sure the door doesn't slam. Great cabin.

[@lucasrizo8932]

Very funny, Tony! One of the best titles! 😂!

[@nancyt2539]

Thanks for the cabin review. Love the storage in this cabin. The bathroom is tight. The fluffy cruisers would like you to test the toilet sitting situation. My husband watched this video and shook his head "nope" when he saw the space between the commode and the glass shower door. You and he are about the same degree of fluffy.

[@monarusch4087]

Aft balconies are my favorite!!! I love the views and you don't get the wind you get on a forward or even a port/starboard.

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Hahaha. Awesome title and thumbnail. And I’m a gentleman so I won’t answer that question, (until I’ve had a few drinks).

[@LaLidoLoca]

Simply posing the question about booking a cruise in an aft balcony! 🙂

[@bendav]

I've had aft balconies on a couple cruises (not on the Odyssee!). Definitely seemed to feel more of the vibration when docking/undocking and while cruising. The balconies are great, but we did get some fine ash-type particles that were from the stacks. Also that walk to the elevator is definitely a pain when you forget something!

[@maxhuber2257]

My wife and I sailed the Odyssey awhile back and we ended up with an aft corner balcony. All I can say isWOW it was fantastic. I will be trying to score that same type of cabin on my next cruise. Keep up the great work Tony, it is appreciated.

[@meandhimintn6772]

Subject to nausea with motion, along with being a very light sleeper (although the view is gorgeous), I’ll choose a more midship balcony/suite. Know I’d so enjoy the additional room, not worth risking an unpleasant cruise for me. Glad you had a great time! Thanks again for a great channel!

[@angelamadison3366]

Love aft balconies!

[@1Quilterchick]

We were in Aft balcony on our Alaska cruise....loved it !!!-

[@meldurham2824]

Thank you for sharing! First time cruiser here. Wonder if the seas. Aft balcony stateroom and I cannot wait. Looks like it’s a fantastic space.

[@staceyhofman239]

My hubby and I stayed in an aft balcony once ( I can't remember which ship it was), but I loved it! I spent more time out there watching the wake than on any other cruise.....simply beautiful.

[@johngray3114]

THANKS for the walk. It really gave a good perspective.

[@kirstenaskew2406]

Hello there ! My first ever comment on any of your videos ! We are in an alf facing balcony for the very first time on next year's Star Trek cruise ! Your video made the aft facing cabin look amazing ! So excited now for our new experience !

[@jackieaudus9829]

Welcome to the Fam Kristen 👋🏻

[@jackieaudus9829]

That looks like a fantastic balcony cabin … the space 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@bunch4741]

We sailed in an aft cabin in our last cruise and I loved it. We were on Carnival. I never noticed them docking. Once we woke and had already docked, but never woke. Our hangers did swing on the first night but we just put the leftover hangers on the floor like you did.

[@kimjohnson6621]

We stayed in this exact cabin in Jan 21 and LOVED it. I would book it again in a heart beat. It made me love aft facing balconies.

[@stevemoralez5529]

GREAT AFT VIEW FROM THE BALCONY

[@timdex91]

Great videos Tony!!

[@janepierce108]

We always book the aft balcony. It is very relaxing. ❤️

[@stevec6612]

Going on an aft cabin in 6 days, looking forward to it

[@ellenyates5747]

We sailed in aft cabin in Alaska we had constant views of all parts of inside passage, wonderful!

[@pattiangelina5938]

I’ve always avoided the aft because of engine vibration. Your walk to the elevator has reassured me I’ve made the right choice to book a cabin right near the elevators for my next three cruises.

[@valerieruddy7965]

Aft Balcony looks amazing, I purposely choose a cabin away from elevators for 2 reasons, less footfall & after all the food that is on offer I personally walk as much as possible ☺️

[@AthenaisC]

I've sailed in a Jr Suite on the back of the Splendour of the Seas. We loved everything about it. After leaving Bermuda to cross the Atlantic to the Azores, we hit 30 ft seas. You'd literally feel the bed fall out from beneath you. I've never slept better in my life. It's crazy, as i get carsick easily, but the sea doesn't bother me. (I was pregnant, too ... ). We always watched the sunset after dinner and one night there were whales chasing the ship. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend aft cabins.

[@julieochoa5342]

Thank you for sharing Tony, I've never seen a aft room its very nice. love that balcony

[@danasandoval624]

I agree with you about the color, I really like it. Some ships have red or bright orange (reminds me of the 70’s, not known for its great decorating style) the blue and beige is calming and classy. Nice video, thanks agree Tony. Have a great Thanksgiving!!

[@B-ch6uk]

I would love that balcony. Good for you.

[@TravelsWithSophia]

We are forever fans. Thank you for your updates and hard work.

[@queetbeet312]

Happy Saturday!!! Cruising thru you! Thanks for taking us along!

[@MsEmmy17]

We had the aft balcony cabin 10728 right next to you for two weeks in October. Loved that stateroom and the view was worth the longer than usual walk. It really is in a quiet area with no traffic that passes by your stateroom back there. Our bed was next to the balcony door and that extra floor space was great. We have exact same cabin 10728 for the 13 night transatlantic in Oct 2022 I would not hesitate to book one of these on future Odyssey sailings

[@X0awsome]

Thanks Tony! I love the extra deep balcony and ability to get out of the sun/rain/wind, when needed. Plus the extra 6 ft of open cabin space to do morning yoga...kidding, thats where I'll picnic with my room service feast!

[@williamd9205]

Thanks for the tour Tony. We’re mid-ship cruisers to avoid the motion. The walk would be a plus for us to help burn off some of the cruise calories.

[@richardsandford1607]

Great cabin and tour!! Thank you!!!

[@cansfloatbottlesdont857]

Nice bathroom! The big guys in the bathroom🤣. That’s gold jerry! Gold! Love the tour guys

[@barbararall5498]

We just got off the Anthem this morning and seeing your cabin was like deja vous. Ours was identical but not aft and not quite as long as yours. The cabin ended about eight to ten inches beyond the dresser. And, of course the balcony was smaller. We were closer to the elevator but not by a lot. My husband uses a cane and he and I wondered why there wasn’t a third bank of elevators. The other item we really enjoyed was the electric kettle. First time I’ve encountered one on a cruise ship. Thanks for the tour.

[@trishkeller920]

We had an aft balcony on Disney Fantasy and it was the best cabin EVER! you definitely feel vibration maneuvers, not anything to worry about. We never had any ash.

[@sharonroot5257]

Enjoyed the tour!

[@mattrogers3806]

We had a Sky Loft Suite on deck 8 on Ovation and had the same feeling about the long walk. We actually only went two the concierge lounge a couple times because it was also on the aft on deck 12 so to get there you had to walk all the way to the elevator and all the way back on deck 12. It’s not a big deal but we aren’t in the best shape so it felt longer lol.

[@justinschmidt7004]

The caption on the thumbnail got me. Well played, Tony.

[@jillbotsford1028]

Boardwalk balcony my favorite. Always first choice on deck 11 or 12

[@sariel8406]

I've booked an aft silver junior suite with big balcony (J1) on Spectrum (younger sister to Odyssey) on the 12th deck. Its a much bigger room than this and comes with a bathtub. Can't wait for my cruise :). There are similar aft rooms on the 13th deck but not the best because deck 14 above is a public area :)

[@amycampbell113]

Brad and I just got off an aft balcony yesterday. It was our first time for aft. We loved the spacious of the cabin and the balcony itself. The only negative is since you are in aft if the great coffee is all the way forward it is a lot of walking.....LOL.....We needed the walk after all the food but man first thing in the morning is tough....lol

[@crystalconnor4516]

Thanks for showing us Tony. I have not been on royal yet. I love the sliding door🙂

[@theintrovertcruiser4172]

Always my fave!!!

[@angelaspiano2551]

We had an aft balcony on the CCL Sunshine and loved it!!! Really didn’t feel any motion or noise and the view was not blocked at all. It was stunning!! And Tony!!! That walk to your elevator IS LONGGGGG!!!!!! We’ve had to walk that far to an elevator….strange but great looking cabin. :-) 🛳🌴🏝

[@chrishinkle3548]

You are correct. Aft rooms can be noisy when docking. Still book one every chance I get. Can't beat the view.

[@MrJEpler]

Googled Odyssey AFT balcony after earning a free cruise from the casino.. just realized I booked your exact room! Super excited, loved the video! I subscribed!

[@toniknight7939]

We have sailed in an aft balcony and loved it. We will be on carnival magic in September in another adt balcony. Love them. We di have a problem on the aft balcony on Royal Princess with suet.

[@bettymacalpine5271]

Great video. Wanted to check out an aft stateroom before booking. We are now on the Odyssey of The Seas back-to-back in November 2023 in aft facing stateroom. Now I just have to figure out how to get the stateroom attendant to bring to loungers down to the room for us LOL

[@caroledowney6908]

Was on Celebrity Summit Aft balcony deck 8 or 9. Amazing even during semi tropical storm. The depth of balcony was over 20 feet. Had another Princess aft suite in Greece that had spectacular views every day.

[@BillCeller]

Dude, I love your tease image for this video 🤣🤣.

[@MandalorianFanboy]

My wife and I are staying in an aft penthouse suite with large balcony on the Norwegian Sky in a couple weeks (Aug 12 sailing)…we plan on spending quite a bit of time out on that balcony….it looks amazing. This will be our first time in an aft cabin…looks like I made a wise choice based on this video…cannot wait. I also plan to spend extensive time “testing the fates”.

[@annedemeo1764]

Sailed on aft cabin on Princess and loved it. Had no problems. Would sail in an aft cabin again in a heartbeat if it was on Princess. Thank you for all the great videos

[@steventager2175]

Was upgraded to a mini suit aft balcony on a cruise to South America around Cape Horrn ... West to East. Fabulous! Especially the deck where we had chaise longes for great afternoon naps traveling thru the Straits of Magellan.

[@dennissmallin8742]

Tony I agree I took a trip on the magic stayed in the aft cabin and I thought I'd never was gonna get to the other end of the ship and the glass on the balcony was so nasty that you couldn't see through it they said that was fall out from the funnel.But I still enjoyed it. Keep cruising Tony love the show

[@bobcorio5145]

We reserved an aft cabin for our Viking cruise . First cruise in 25 years. Really looking forward to it after watching your review.

[@kimblatnik6035]

Hi Tony! Yes, sailed aft balcony on a cruise to Alaska. We LOVED the views and spent so much time on our balcony. I did have a bad bout of motion sickness and missed our first formal night. The hangers were really smacking the closet that day! Should have put the patch on earlier. I don’t know if I would go aft again. A more centralized location is more desirable.

[@robinbriggs5280]

We have an AFT room on Norwegian Encore on 7/2. So excited and Ty.

[@williama6894]

Corner Aft on Brilliance was awesome

[@suekumpf6542]

We sailed in an aft cabin on a Mediterranean cruise. It was the best!

[@mitchbateman4962]

I was on this same ship and got upgraded to the grand loft suite at the aft! Greatest cruise ever! Included a Genie

[@jackieaudus9829]

What’s a Genie? Please

[@mitchbateman4962]

@@jackieaudus9829 A genie is a person working for RC who is assigned to assist you the entire cruise and “grants all your wishes”. They also make all updates to your schedules while on the ship and personally escorts you around the ship….holding seats at the shows …welcoming you to the ship…checking on you at dinner to ensure you are ok…scheduling all activities…etc. they become your best friend!!

[@tonia.5861]

We took a cruise out of Galveston a few years ago. There m was a mix up during check in that ended up with us being put in an aft cabin. It had an incredible balcony that wrapped around the corner of the ship! Yes, we noticed the movement and some vibration but it didn’t bother us so it turned out to be a nice thing.

[@jessicalbell]

I was assigned an aft balcony once and fell in love with the location so now I try to get them every time. The only time I've noticed extra motion is when arriving and leaving ports. :)

[@cutnpaper6831]

Good info. Thanks for sharing

[@karenjordan5731]

I have been aft and for me there is nothing like the sound of the water and the views. We have ncl haven aft suite end of Feb 22 for our return to caruising!!!

[@ilenegallo374]

I like the rolling of the sea, so I love an aft cabin!

[@BEYONDYOURIQ]

Had the aft balcony deck 10 728 and the view was awesome, both at sea and in ports. Balcony was bigger than most. We also had the room next door (family) so we had them open the partition between the two balconies...outstanding.

[@bobscott5022]

I want that cabinet looks awesome

[@Hawkeye2001]

I've had an aft cabin on the Emerald Princess for a Caribbean Cruise. It was nice. I really don't remember any excess motion. Sitting back and watching the ships wake fade off to the horizon was a wonderful extra. Quiet and calm.

[@ggjr61]

This looked cool especially the size of the bathroom.

[@christianoliver3572]

That looks like a really well thought out and spacious cabin. I agree with you Tony about the decor and color as well. I wonder if it would be for me because I can get motion sickness and usually I get a midship lower deck cabin. The ship's motion doesn't make me seasick every time and I always take my medication so maybe I would be OK.

[@SandySunTravel]

We LOVE aft balconies. Ron was in the navy for years, and looking out at the wake behind the ship is his happy place

[@francoisedunne223]

Hey Tony San Diego here again on the Koningsdam we had the same issue with the bathroom if you sat properly on the toilet your knee was banging on the glass shower door I don’t know who invented that but it definitely was somebody that must’ve been 50 pounds or less it’s very hard to sit on the toilet properly so you kind of have to sit on it a little sideways we also found it kind of stupid that our toilet paper dispenser was behind the toilet so you had to pretty much do a twist and turn twister game to reach the toilet paper ..we just pulled it off the dispenser and kept it on the edge of the sink ..it was easier to get to .it’s a great cabin you have.. but I do think they could’ve made that shower area a little more square instead of kind of odd shape.a really tightly cramped place ..take care Tony ..love the cabin views ..take care of your health.. have a great trip Home….p.s… I hope they were bathrooms located between that long walk from your cabin and the elevator it sure would help me in my age because if there wasn’t they’d be some major problems right there lol…!

[@peteybird3699]

Love this video Tony! Thanks for sharing.

[@dannaburton9620]

Hi Tony, thanks for the comments. Cruising in April and we are on an Aft balcony suite also. Seems like a good choice. Safe travels

[@dannypeters9688]

Just got out of my 2nd aft balcony on Vista. Looking forward to next cruise in March on Dream. Another aft balcony. I love the view, the motion and the comfort of the room and the balcony.

[@kataiga]

We loved our aft cabin. Sadly it was not available on our last cruise!

[@NeverFullyDigital]

I recently subscribed to your channel, I’ve only been on one cruise so far, Carnival Ecstasy September 2019. I look forward to the next time I go, probably after Covid, if Covid ends. If Covid doesn’t end I’ll get back on the waves. Really enjoying your channel, all these videos of cruises reminds me of one of the best vacations I’ve had.

[@FoodiesVacations]

I always say when the Coronavirus gets to influenza status… although it arrived here via SARS in 2003.., I’m just hoping it will become manageable. I’m guessing it is probably not going away. Hope you are able to get out there soon; it’s great

[@sandiehay4965]

We had aft balcony in Grand Princess... definitely more vibration but worth it for the wake view and bigger balcony!

[@beatlejeff65]

I've had an aft cabin on the Celebrity Solstice. it was great. I loved sitting on the balcony and watching the ship's wake.

[@thecinpie]

Beautiful

[@joycebeard7218]

I've been on an aft balcony twice. Once on MSC Poesia and once on MSC Divinia. Loved them both. Both were much larger. The Poesia was very big. The Divinia was large on the inside but really long on the balcony. It fit 2 chaises, 2 chairs and a table with plenty of room. Also half balcony was covered and half in sun. Just watch the decks. Not all the same. Especially if the ship aft curves. I didn't feel any motion. But the only vibration I felt was the engines when docking. It was like having an alarm set each port day. I ran out onto the balcony to watch the docking procedure.

[@BaboonsSmirk1]

I loved the aft balconies we have had. I always try and get one because they always seem bigger and have amazing views.

[@ilenegallo374]

Very nice cabin! We are cruising on the Odyssey of the Sea next May 2022 to Jerusalem!

[@elliottmg1]

I experienced this on the carnival magic in the southern dining room. I like the middle of the ship

[@donaldmessenger598]

We just got back on the carnival Paradise last week we had a aft facing window room and it was great plenty of room for two and lots of storage. Yes a little noisey leaving the dock and docking but sea days were fine. Would do it again.

[@fredericpiller]

Personally I’m a big fan of AFT cabins. Yes, there a little bit nosier then regular balcony cabins but I like the sound of the sea. And they are specially amazing if you do a scenic cruise!

[@sariel8406]

Same! I like more rocking too.

[@nickpacaccio8540]

Don't know who you cruised but my bride and I have been in the aft cabins on Holland America..Equinox and Celebrity Reflection and had a great time..the view is 180* and in our humble opinion the view of the heavens at night is awesome..👍🏻

[@selysia1]

We always seek out Aft balcony cabins if they are available... not only are you away from foot traffic, but the "bonus space" on the balcony is a huge perk for us. I'm not super concerned about the walk to the elevators (as a previous poster mentioned, it's payment for the delicious food we enjoy on board)... what I would advise is watching for what's on the decks above. We'll usually try to get a cabin with one deck of other cabins above so we're not directly below the buffet, but if there's a party spot on the aft like NCL's Club H20 several decks of space are better... otherwise you need to be prepared to "relax" to the sound of dance music at all hours of the night...

[@SheilaConvery]

Beautiful ship, great cabin. I loved how much room you get in that aft cabin, I've always wanted to book one!

[@pamelabrauer9450]

Love aft cabins. Sailed one in 2014 to Alaska and I am back in the exact same cabin this June for another trip to Alaska. The views are really amazing and I would highly recommend it, especially for Alaska. We are on Celebrity but the balcony looked very similar. We had a couple recliners as well.

[@kenbaer2361]

Had an extended aft balcony on a cruise several years ago. No breeze and was always hot. When I woke up in the morning, the balcony was covered in cig butts. View was awesome.

[@georgiaval1]

I have only cruised Carnival, and I’m ready to try others. I love the space of the Aft balcony cabin.

[@scottlong4521]

Just booked Oasis of The Seas. Can't wait.

[@bridgetleary1183]

The aft balcony has been my favorite cabin since I first found them abt 2003. Have a cruise coming up in January in one on Viking.

[@rogerdixon7178]

Never been in an aft balcony but after this video may try one on the cruise after our next.

[@baldone60]

Nice privacy on balcony. Aft gets more motion and u will hear and feel the thrusters when docking

[@anne-marievr5710]

It was nice to see I’m.not the only one who lines up the hangers on the floor! The only time I stayed at the aft of the ship I would literally be rolled right out of my bed at night with the motion.
