We had an aft-facing balcony, room 8213, and it was super small. I mean tight. And the shower and head were at the end of the room where the door was. So if the housekeeper or room service knocked when the other person was taking a shower or using the bathroom, you could see their sillouette. The head had a frosted glass door and it was a bit uncomfortable if you had to go when the other person was sleeping because you can hear everything. I was with my husband, but have a little bit of modesty and would rather have privacy while doing my business. I can't imagine sharing a room like this with someone you are not intimately familiar with. There was a lot of hidden storage, which was cool, but I kept forgetting where I put stuff. The light switches were in odd places and there was only one outlet for electronics. Hair dryer was good, I am very picky about my hair and was pleased that I had not packed a dryer and there was a good and strong dryer in the room. No iron or steamer, expensive to send clothes to be pressed. 2 beach towels that you got charge $25 each if they were missing from your room at the end of the trip. I put one in the hamper one night and they didn't replace it so I had to ask the housekeeper to replace it. Our housekeeper Roberto was phenomenal. He was super accomodating and greeted us every morning with a smile and well wishes, even remembering our names! I had read that it was noisy on the 8th floor, because you were close to all the activities. But it was not, you could only hear the wonderful noise of the water.  Read entire member review.

Aft Balcony-great view, plenty of storage, quiet, except noisy and vibrations in the morning when docking.  Read entire member review.

Great cabin and large balcony, but having the bed near the balcony is definitely better. Location on deck 9 convenient to elevators and walking all around the ship. Elevators were not crowded as some have experienced.  Read entire member review.

Standard-size stateroom with a larger, slightly wider balcony. Great view out the back. Lots of violent shaking when coming into port.  Read entire member review.

Lots of storage. Bed is next to entryway which makes for cramped moving around when getting dressed. This configuration works well when you have a sleeping child because they are not disturbed by moving around. Cabin is in the aft and has a great view and large balcony. There will be significant vibration and noise when docking and undocking on port days.  Read entire member review.

We had an aft facing balcony (9297). It was in a wonderful location and offered fantastic views and a fine place to get away from everyone and everything. The closets were plenty big and there was more than enough storage.  Read entire member review.

Great location, end ba stern back on port side. Balcony is wider than usual - will hold 2 chairs, tiny table and lounger leaving room to move around,  Read entire member review.

10322, Aft-Facing Balcony NIAGRA FALLS! Incredibly loud prop/wake noise (no, not a waterfall gently trickling, Niagra Falls!). Strong vibration when the ship approaches a port; be prepared to be awoken early on port days as you and everything in the cabin will rattle as the ship is slowed. The cabin does have a great view, especially when leaving ports. Don't expect a lot of sunshine on the balcony, only in late afternoon (southbound) and early morning (northbound). Very small/short bed and even shorter sheets. If over 6', you will not fit on the bed. Tons of storage space for hanging clothes. Super clean and neat. If looking for tranquility, book a balcony facing either side, not on the back.  Read entire member review.

tiny everything, but great storage space-couldn't figure out who would need so much storage!!! we needed room to breathe, a bed where our feet didn't stick out....worst cramped space ever! too small in order to cram more people on the boat and bilk them for ever nickle and dime they have!!!  Read entire member review.

Balcony Cabin 11157 midship starboard side. It had plenty of storage. My husband and I are not very big people so we fit fine in it, but I could see that larger or obese people would be uncomfortable. Bathroom and shower were separate and compact. The balcony was a decent size. We didn't have much time to relax on it but it was good enough to check the weather and see the sun rise. We had equal access to both sets of stairs/elevators. My mom and a female friend stayed across the hall in inside cabin 11155. You need to be really good friends or patient with each other to stay in inside cabin. The beds didn't separate so they shared a king size bed. There's not much privacy for the bathroom, so they would use the public toilets when needed. There is a curtain that covers the shower stall for privacy. There was enough storage for 2 women to fit all their stuff. My other friend and her brother stayed in balcony cabin 11161 midship starboard side next to ours, again the beds were not separated and brother/sister shared king size bed. They also worked out their small bathroom/toilet area in shifts.  Read entire member review.

Port-corner aft-facing balcony. Very noisy with lots of vibration while underway. Hallway outside is quiet since it's the very last cabin. Larger than average balcony. Not reccomended because of the noise and vibration.  Read entire member review.

Cabin was fine. Not huge but lots of storage. Only issue was amount of space between bottom of bed and vanity area. Very small.  Read entire member review.

Cabin 11317: B1 category, aft-facing balcony. Ample storage space on wardrobe closet and drawers; suitcases easily fit under bed for extra storage. Balcony has great views and is covered, which was great for people who like the shade. Very quiet (aside from the sounds of the waves coming out of the back of the boat) -- at least two floors of passenger cabins both above and below this cabin. We had a great trip in this cabin and would recommend this particular cabin without hesitation.  Read entire member review.

great balcony, some engine vibration heard, liked the bathroom set-up, very comfortable bed  Read entire member review.

We loved our room but the room needs more outlets! I brought a power strip with me after reading a review~ also no lotion in the rooms~ Would love to see a dispenser with lotion since they make it hard to bring all you need on the plane~ Our room was quiet roomy enough plenty of storage for us~  Read entire member review.

We always try to get an aft corner cabin. The balcony was large, but we could not get around or see the side, as is the case for many other corner cabins.  Read entire member review.

12315 - since this connects to a suite, the door eliminates some storage. great views from balcony. inside cabin 12305 had more storage  Read entire member review.

The stateroom was plenty big enough, the shower/toilet configuration was no issue for us, and the aft-facing balcony was perhaps the best choice we made. Views were spectacular coming into and leaving ports of call. The stateroom steward was incredibly helpful and attentive.  Read entire member review.

we loved our balcony we were on the aft the back i don't think i would pick this location again it was too noisy and too much vibration but my husband liked it, the view on back is amazing and he would pick it again if it was up to him!  Read entire member review.

Great room. Amazing views. Quiet location. Loads of noise and vibration when docking but the views while in port certainly make up for the early wake up call.  Read entire member review.

13286 - AFT FACING - Great location, awesome view, more than enough storage space and lots of room to move around; excellent balcony; some vibrations - especially when ship turning of docking.  Read entire member review.

Connecting door lost us some storage space. Vibrations when docking woke me and I am a heavy sleeper normally. View from the balcony was excellent. Quiet location.  Read entire member review.

Great location for getting in and out of the kids club. It is adjacent to the kids club and elevators.  Read entire member review.

great storage, adequate balcony, GREAT location if you have kids or want to go to the gym  Read entire member review.

Connecting room door in the cabin meant that a whole section of drawers/hanging space was eliminated ... but still plenty of space. Some 4AM noises from crew setting up the deck chairs above us. Altho balcony was standard, it seemed deeper than normal. Great location near Kids Crew & elevators.  Read entire member review.

Nice balcony - view of water below - no lifeboats. Quiet - on dead end hall. Across from stewards work room but didn't bother us. Good storage, but tight squeeze for 2 adults, 2 kids. Noisy toilet/bathroom, but they all are on the Epic!!  Read entire member review.

Very long walk to get to this cabin. You have to walk on the odd cabin side forward to get to the hallway that goes to the even side to get to your room. There is only one was in or out.  Read entire member review.

Great Room - 2 bedrooms, living space, 2 bathrooms and balcony. Lots of space to store your belongings. Quiet room in the Haven area.  Read entire member review.

Cabin 10318. Large balcony.Great view.Balcony is surprisingly loud with the ship under way because of the straight drop to the water. Some engine shudder at times but not bad. Great port views because they back in every port. SMALL bed. Good steward.  Read entire member review.

12312 - Noisy and feels like Mini earthquake zone upon arrival and departure of ports! You aren't sleeping in when you arrival at a port early in the morning.  Read entire member review.
