O.K. - another Alaska question.....but first some background...We have only been on the Dream so far, but loved, loved, loved our cabin 9174 - deck 9 w/ HUGE whitewall veranda, looking straight out the back of the ship. To this day, my DD's fondest memory of our first cruise was sleeping out on the veranda under the stars! This coming April, we will be on the Fantasy 7 Night Eastern Caribbean - cabin 6690 which is also extreme aft with a large veranda, but on the deck 6. When we go to Alaska in 2015, we will be traveling with my mom and her husband (who will be 75 and 82 respectively), so we would like to have a cabin near them, even if it's not adjoining.
So here's the question....
When the time comes for me to pounce on a June 2015 Alaska sailing, what do you think the "best" room category/location would be for us on the classic ships. I don't mean the most expensive - I mean the one that will offer the best viewing options when we are not up on the main deck. Thanks!
