To see the location of our stateroom on Deck 9, click here and scroll down to the cabins on the stern of the ship. 

Anticipating reasonably calm seas and a natural curiosity about what there is to see on both sides of the ship, we decided to try a stern cabin this year.  Granted, watching the world go by from there will in some ways be like reading yesterday's newspaper.  We will see what we have already passed rather than what is ahead and abeam (or at least I sincerely hope so since something coming at our stern would in most cases be sub-optimal).  The fact that most of the stern cabins were already booked 15 months ago suggests they are coveted.  We will see. 

To view what our stateroom looks like, click here and then click on the camera icon just to the left of the words "Vista Suite".  You can rotate the camera manually or automatically.
