Murphy&Bailey Posted February 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2010 My husband & I are going to be taking the Panama Canal 10 day cruise on the Island Princess roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale next year. We will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. I am hoping to get a minisuite. I am also hoping for a balcony that is covered or partially covered. I would apppreciate any suggestions on rooms. I think that we should be more central in the ship?? Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FatPER Posted February 16, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Here is a great website regarding cabins on the Island Princess http://mysite.verizon.net/res76zxu/princessbalconies/index.html We took the Island to Hawaii in 2007 and found this info very helpful.

pshaze Posted February 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2010 We were on the Coral (sister ship to the Island) and choose D706,D708 and D710 which are completely covered balconies on the Dolphin deck. We felt the mini suites on the bump outs did not offer as much privacy and we prefer not to be at the front of the boat. The mini's on the Caribe had the same sized balcony but were only 1/2 covered. This area was extremely quiet and had easy access to the aft decks which are great to view the area from both sides of the ship. We felt very little movement even with 15 ft swells.

Don M Posted February 16, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2010 If I remember correctly, the Caribe Minis are half covered and were quite large. We were toward the stern. Enjoy the Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Sue Posted February 16, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks to all of you and especially Tom (that web link was awesome) I will make a better choice of cabins. Good sailing to all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
