There is no specific option for choosing an aft balcony. Those cabins are in a category just like the balcony cabins along the sides, 8A, 8C, etc. You have to look at the deck plans and get the cabin numbers of the aft balconies and then see if those cabins are available.
Some travel websites are better than Carnival's since they will highlight or have flashing arrows by the available cabins. I usually go to one of them and find my cabin, and then quickly book it with my agent.
These are the rear facing balcony cabins on Triumph. There are also some corner 9A minisuites back there with massive wraparound balconies. By the way, choosing a cabin on this (and most) sailing is going to run a little more than taking their random balcony assignment called a BL guarantee.

Dave I have not seen a site like that. What is on of the sites?
Thanks

BTW one of our local weather forecaster just did his 30 day for our area, he also talked about Washington/Alaska. Sounds like it will be a little drier than normal. That should be great for your Cruise.
Be aware that those arrows are connected to a booking engine for inventory. They will never show more than a dozen or so cabins available, usually less depending on the cruiseline even if the entire ships inventory can be booked. The cruiselines release for view only a few cabins at a time on the booking engines. Primarily to make it appear they are always running out of cabins for urgency. For actual inventory or a specific cabin request, you need to actually call the cruiseline or your T/A. There are usually more cabins available than on any system including the cruiselines own systems that show availability. Also handicap accessible will not show as they are not released unless requested or the ship is nearly full. If there is a cabin or location you want call and check to see if it's there, often it will be.
That's very true. I recently had another Cat Upgrade added to my cruise rate. I went in CCL's system and it didn't show any midship cabins on Verandah deck close to the stairs. I kept entering them, and finally got one.
