I was able to see all 3 attachments by just clicking on them. No problem. We are staying in this cabin on the Ruby Feb 2019. Can't wait..

hi

 

please can you tell me if the balcony or room is noisy or smelly from the vents or engines. Thanks

I have been in this cabin many times (D736-Vista Suite) on many different ships and it is wonderful. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures to share , but I will be spending 29 days in this cabin on the Emerald Princess in April. The only noise is from the thrusters when you leave or come into port. No smells or vent as it is on the outside edge of the ship, port side. Deck above and below are more cabins. The depth of balcony is the largest of any of the decks on the aft. There is one beam that blocks the view from the living room, but once in the cabin, you don't even notice it.. Hope that helps.

Hi Bill and Marie,

So glad you are doing a "Live" on the Jewel. We will be joining you next Sat. 10/3, for the second part of your b2b. Looking forward to meeting you and your wife. Always love following your cruise postings..

Thank you, Pam

Thank you for posting this review and all the fabulous photos. I feel like I am there with you on this cruise! It gives me a wonderful glimpse of what I will enjoy on our Oct. cruise! Thank you..

Love your pictures.. Can't wait for our cruise on her in Oct.:)

Thanks so much for posting this review..

I followed your great thread when you sailed from Vancouver to Sydney. Look forward to this one too.

Have a great time..:)

Pam

So you are the one that booked "my" Window Suite for the transit back to California. (HaHa).

 

I just wasn't fast enough. Enjoy your trip.

 

I am a former teacher too....

Yes, guilty as charged. We love the Window Suites. We book them whenever they have them on the ship.. Wish more ships had them..:D

New suite perks would be a great addition! Free laundry and internet minutes would be most welcome! :D When cruising in suites between RCL and Princess, those are what I miss the most..

Yes, I embark at Melbourne for Sydney. Have to fly in the day before due to awkward flight scheduling, that's the worst of only 1 airline servicing my home town. Current plans are to stay at the Hotel Grand Chancellor on Lonsdale St (think it's Lonsdale St, not a Melbourneite), as I have stayed at the Adelaide hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be going to the pier by taxi, I have Access Cab vouchers, and direct door-to-door is a lot less hassle for me. Equally, I wasn't missing the chance to test my balance tolerance aboard ship for a reasonable amount of money BEFORE committing to sailing to Tasmania in 2022. I've a bad history of delayed travel sickness, used to be a right little horror as a kid, fortunately I seem to have outgrown it. Do know to get a prescription anti-nausea from the Dr, will use the one I had for chemotherapy as I tolerated that well and it doesn't clash with my current meds.

 

Should anyone joining in Melbourne be near the hotel, and want to join me going to the ship, let me know and we can arrange to meet up. I'll be asking for a station wagon (think it's an estate car Stateside, but not sure-it's the same shape as a hearse, the only comparison I could think of!) as I'm on a walking frame so luggage shouldn't be a problem, even with 3 adults sharing the ride.

 

Crochetcruise :cool:

Thanks so much for the info. We are traveling with friends so will work on transfer details for us. Our hope is to stay at a Hilton property in town. We will be arriving 2 days ahead, the 15th.

You will love the window suites. They are our first choice in picking a cabin. Wish more ships offered them.. Lots and lots of room and storage.

30 days on the Golden Princess will be awesome!!:)

Today I made my cruise booking, paid a 20% deposit, and purchased International Travel Insurance. Incidentally, I taught the TA something, she said I didn't need International Travel Insurance and I showed her where Princess recommended it in their own brochure! I'm in F315, the Disabled Accessible Window Suite, and have noted to pack a tape measure to measure just how long, from the wall adjoining F311 to the end wall along the starboard wall is. I have a tape measure with both Imperial (inches) and Metric (centimetres) so will post Inches with CM in brackets.

 

The TA will help me with my Cruise Personaliser and print the luggage tags for me. She did show me the Carnival ones prepared for another person, didn't handle them but know what they look like now. 12 months to finish paying off the cruise, it's well within my budget.

 

If anyone wants specific information checked on the Golden Princess, please let me know, and I will add that to the information to photograph/check on board notepad.

 

Crochetcruise :cool:

Are taking this cruise on the Golden from Sydney?? If so, we will be neighbors. We are in F311 from Melbourne to Sydney (2 days) and then from Sydney to LA (28 days)..:) We also have friends traveling with that are in 307.

Enjoying your review of the Seranade. We did this itinerary last April and loved the Serenade so much that we booked it again to do a repositioning this April, NOLA to Boston.. Love all your pictures and amazed at how well you vacation with all the kids. All seem to be having the time of your lives..:)

Has anyone booked this cabin?
