My family and I stayed in 6192 on the Dream this past June. It was AMAZING!!! Our first cruise, we had an ocean view room, but (and even with just 4 days) the verandah made it so much better! We would walk up to Cabanas every morning to grab breakfast and bring it back down to our verandah. My husband loved watching them situate everything when pulling into a port (I watched it once and that was enough for me). At night we would skip the shows and enjoy our verandah (all of us falling asleep several times). Oh, it was amazing. And it was really neat to get a different view than most - seeing where we've been. We're looking at possibly doing another cruise next summer and I desperately want an aft verandah from now on!
The location, IMHO is great. If you can handle the stairs, you get to work off a few calories before and after every meal (which is typically what we tried to do). The spa is on the other end of the ship, but honestly it didn't feel that far to me. Another nice thing is there are only a few rooms down that far, so you don't have a lot of kids (and adults) running around by your door, so it's much more peaceful. I honestly thought we were the only ones aft on deck 6 because it was so quiet, until one night we were on the verandah and I peaked over the divider and someone else was about to peak over at us.
