Comments ~This 15 Day Hawaiian Cruise on board the Star Princess was simple fantasticand so relaxing. We want to give ourspecial thanks to our TA for her graciousness and expert way in which shehandles her clients. The 15 Day HawaiianCruise was everything we expected and since we had sailed upon the StarPrincess once before we continue to be amazed at how wonderful it is to cruiseon her! We had sailed to Hawaii 3 yearsago on the Golden Princess and fell in love with the Islands! We enjoyed ourselves so much that wepurchased FCC's and are planning on booking another special cruise just as soonas it opens for booking.

Connects With Cabin # none

 

Accessible: Yes

 

Quiet: NoNoNoNoNo. Engine noise is TERRIBLE!!

 

Balcony Size: 1 table, 2 chairs. NO chaise

 

View: OK

 

Privacy Issues: None

 

Wind: Not problematic

 

Soot: Yes, when nearby exhaust fired off

 

Problems: Does NOT have advertised suite features: chaise, tub, walk-in closets, divider.

 

Comments This room is basically a mini-suite with engine noise added for free. It is in NO WAY a suite, and Princess should be ashamed to advertise it as such. (Hint: they are not.)

Ship: EMERALD PRINCESS

 

Class: Grand

 

Deck: 15 - LIDO

 

Stateroom # L210

 

Category: Balcony (BF)

 

Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern: Port

 

Connects With Cabin #: Next to L206 & L214

Accessible:

 

Quiet: Yes. Some minor noise when on balcony from people walking on decking of Deck 16, but never noticed in room, only when outside on balcony.

 

Balcony Size: Standard (See pictures)

 

View: Great views. Can see Port-Side bridge from balcony but still enough privacy to not feel like they were looking in at all.

 

Privacy Issues: None

 

Wind: Not an issue with the room and surprisingly not any more than expected on the balcony.

 

Soot: None

 

Problems: Not really see comments below.

 

Comments: See our information below!

 

 

Room Features& Amenities

·Bed – Very comfortable.

·Pillows – 4 (Down) pillows. Great and comfortable. 2 extra throw pillows.

·Mini-Fridge

·TV – appears to have an hdmi hook up butextremely difficult to access. RCA jacksare accessible for tall people.

·Closet – enough space to hang all our clothesand jackets. 17 hangers, but reallyneeded like 25.

·Safe – worked. Standard 4-code hotel safe. Not enough room to store laptop, but camera,phones, passports, etc. not an issue.

·Robes provided (upon request and arrived Monday(Day 2)

 

Bathroom

·Shower – small, but to be expected. Had shampoo & conditioner available inshower pump bottles.

·Sink

·Towels: 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 2 wash cloths. Standard hotel quality.

 

Balcony

·2 Chairs

·1 small round table

 

Needs Improvement (Room)

·No Clock; Phone had time and TV had time when turned on to certain channels.

·Wish it had a small love seat but space would not allow with desk and room layout.

·Larger TV would be nice, especially if they could mount it on the wall instead of the small TV in the corner above“mini-bar.”

·TV channels did not have a “ship tracker” map to see where our cruise ship was during its travels.

 

 

What You Can Do to Make It Better

 

  • ·Electric candles. We brought 6 of them. Placed 3 in corner by TV, 1 in bathroom, 1 bybed side table, 1 on “bar area” above mini-fridge. Nice subtle ambient light without the fire hazard.
  • ·Bluetooth speakers. We brought a nice portable Bluetooth speaker which was great for music on the balcony and in the room. Some nice relaxing music on the balcony is anice addition to the sound of the ocean. Connected it via my cellphone.
  • ·Magnets. Now I had heard a bit of this on the CruiseCritic forum before we left,but am definitely a fan now. We put our one magnet we bought in Seattle on the wall and later added all the others from our ports and tours. Would be nice to put “where we have been” magnets on the wall on future cruises too. Might also be nice to get family photos made into magnets (flat so they are flush with the wall) so that you can enjoy seeing those who you love that couldn’t come along. Might be good for kids too if traveling with Grandparents, etc. of their pets, mom & dad, etc.
  • ·Bring a thermometer. We were always wondering how cold/warm it was outside on our balcony. There were little ones on magnets in the gift shops, but we were never too sure how accurate they would be so we didn’t buy one. Wedidn’t like how they looked either.

Decks 9 (Dolphin) & 10 (Caribe) as seen from our balcony. (Don't let the reflection confuse you.) Be aware that if you do a balcony on those decks everyone from above can see in your balcony. Also seagulls may do "their" thing when in port.

Ship: Island Princess

Class:

Deck: Baja

Cabin: #416

Category: MI Mini Suite

Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern: Port Mid Ship

Connects With Cabin: #none

Accessible: No

Quiet: Not as quiet as some

Balcony Size: Very Small - barely enough room for two chairs and foot stools. Had to move the table into the cabin

View: Unobstructed

Privacy Issues: Glass rounded corner balcony. Not as private as most.

Wind: Windy

Soot: None

Problems: These corner cabins with a rounded window on the deck have a good view but it was difficult to sit on the balcony when the ship was moving because of the wind. The balcony was very small. It's covered but so exposed with only two walls that any rain or sun would be an issue. There is also about 8 feet on one wall that does not have another cabins abutting to it so you could hear people in the hallway. It wasn't really a problem because people were considerate but it was noisier than any other cabin we have had.

Comments: Location was great. Right around the corner from the mid-ship elevators and stairs. I really like Baja deck. I would not book this cabin again because of the balcony size and exposure.

Stateroom # B422

 

Category - M1

 

Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern - Port

 

Connects With Cabin # N/A

 

Accessible - No

 

Quiet - Yes

 

Balcony Size - Extended. Not huge, but big enough for us to do UBD or have morning coffee without feeling cramped. Clearly bigger than the standard Regal balcony.

 

View - Good.

 

Privacy Issues - Mostly private. We were several decks below the Skylight bar, so if we tried, we could look up to see the occasional passer-by. Though, this was no more invasive to our privacy than someone on a joining stateroom leaning on their railing and looking forward/backwards. We are extremely private people, and this didn't bother us in the least.

 

Wind - Very little

 

Soot - N/A

 

Problems - None worth mentioning.

 

Comments - Wonderful location, stateroom, and attendant. I would not hesitate to recommond, or book this stateroom again.

Balcony Size Oversized, angled at the forward point of the curved section.

 

 

 

View Overlooking the center of the curved area under the Seaview Bar. We could easily look aft, and could peek around the corner to look forward.

Wind We thought the balcony was well sheltered.

 

 

 

Soot N/A

 

 

 

Problems We thought the designers overlooked storage...to create room for the love seat a lot of storage was eliminated. The vanity was very small and had only one drawer. It was fine for a week, but I would struggle with organization on a longer cruise. My relatives in regular balcony cabins had a much bigger vanity and more storage.

 

 

 

Comments We enjoyed the larger balcony. The location close to the midship elevators and stairs was fantastic. I would choose the cabin again for a cruise of a week or less. That said, I struggled enough with space that I just upgraded to a mimi-suite for our 12 night cruise next year. Yes, I'm spoiled!

Quiet as long as the seas are calm the room didnt creak. never heard neighbor noise except the typical open and closing of balcony. no issues from the retreat above except one day after 9 am. during normal sleeping hours i had no noise issues from above. dont know if you could sleep in all day though with chairs above sometimes being moved. being on lido was fantastic location and i highly recommend it.

 

Balcony Size need more knee room but same size as Breakaway so I was used to it. i had the ultimate dinner in the room because of weather but i think it would be extremely tight to do this on a balcony of this size

 

View standard balcony view.

Privacy Issues same as any other balcony. good unless someone looks over

Wind

Soot

Problems very slow tub drain and a smell which i dont think was the toilet. thankfully only had this in the bathroom and never made its way to the cabin. ive heard it may be the drain seals drying out

 

Comments if you have calm seas this room is perfect. however we had force 10 winds which the captain said was out of a 12 scale, and the room creaked horribly in the walls and ceiling. constant banging for 2 nights and virtually no sleep. would never get this room again because you cannot guarantee calm seas. also someone apparently had driven a piece of wood in the corner of the ceiling to try to presumably make the room more quiet. I've been on another ship with a storm and while it swayed just as much, i never heard this much creaking noise. would try another lido cabin next time

Comments – Occasional hallway noise as cabin is in a higher traffic area, however it is a trade-off as the location is wonderful if you enjoy the Lido Deck. The outside deck above the cabin was closed at sunset so overhead noise was not an issue at night.

Ship: Crown Princess

 

Class: Grand

 

Deck: Baja - 11

 

Cabin # 750

 

Category: B4 - Premium Balcony

 

Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern: Aft

 

Connects With Cabin #: NA

 

Accessible: No

 

Quiet: Yes

 

Balcony Size: Deeper than normal

 

View: Balcony partly obstructed due to support beam

 

Privacy Issues: None

 

Wind: No problem

 

Soot: No

 

Problems: Had problems with toilet not properly flushing on several occasions. Maintenance attended to rectify. Understand there was on ongoing plumbing issue in this area of the ship. Will hopefully be resolved during upcoming dry dock (if not before).

 

Not really a problem, but had to share - we had a ‘stowaway’ on our balcony. One of the maintenance team came, checked him out and saw him off the ship. Apparently, it happens on a regular basis and they have a bit of special training to deal with the ‘stowaways’, but a new one for us.

 

Comments: Love aft cabins for the wake view. Don’t find the ‘vibration’ bothers us. Liked the deeper balcony, especially as this was a colder weather cruise (Northern Crossing TA in September) as much more sheltered, meaning we still used it most days.

 

Chairs can be turned sideways to sit in front of ‘beam’ or loads of room behind it for the table and chairs.

 

Convenient to HC/Cafe Caribe & Outrigger Bar on Lido. Which meant we could go up get coffee, breakfast, lunch, snacks, beverages and bring them back to the cabin to enjoy on balcony.

 

Some may consider it a negative, that it’s a bit of a walk to mid and forward ship, but not an issue for us, gotta get those steps in.

 

While not our ‘favourite’ aft cabin, wouldn’t hesitate to book again. c297176b1156fbfe4842602b947faa6d.jpg7a5a4334350827063f4881db8de0637f.jpg54e0d171b635c4ffaee374e71292a6a7.jpg3cc348445a522b9903d2c5f86af02daf.jpg
