Balconies on Caribbean Princess

[above sea level cruiser]

Can anyone tell me if the balconies on the Caribbean Princess are tiered or covered?

 

I have heard that the balcony above is set back from the deck below so that not only are they not covered, you can see directly down on the balcony below. Is this true? We are thinking of a mini suite out of NY this spring.

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes they are tiered. The mini-suites on Dolphin are open to all the above decks. If this is a concern and you want a mini-suite, there are 12 mini-suites on the Emerald deck that are totally covered.

Riviera/Aloha/Baja decks are all even with each other.

They all over look Caribe balconies which stick out about 6 feet. These balconies are partially covered so you still would have some privacy from above. Then they all overlook....

The Dolphin deck minis that stick out about 9 feet. These balconies are fully exposed.

Please clarify, does that mean that the balconoies on Riviera/Aloha/Baja decks are fully covered?

Thanks !

First time for us on Princess and thanks to you guys we booked a mini on the CP Emerald deck with a "do not upgrade" notation on our booking. Looking at pics of the minis above us, absolutely no privacy and totally useless if it rains.

Hope you enjoy the emerald deck, some have complained those cabins can be very noisy because of Club Fusion that is directly below....

[Chuck & Phyllis]

Read that also and fortunately have the quieter side. Thanks.

This is taken from our Aloha balcony looking down. Hope it helps.

jkudzu, great photo!

That should just about answer all questions as to privacy, size of balcony and furniture found thereon.

Have your TA call Princess and get the exact balcony dimensions since the aft-facing one is unique.

Frankly, really didn't notice it too much...

We overlooked a couple of tiers, and one tier overlooked us, but everyone is in such a good mood it gave us more opportunity to socialize with our fellow guests....

I will say the lower balconies are HUGE, tho....!

No noise from Club Fusion. Only rumble of stabilizers due to very windy weather last week. Loved the large balcony as we like to watch the ships wake. Had friends on cruise that were in 739 and 737 they really liked that the balconies were covered and had a mini suite.

 

Happy sailing

No. it's location that gives them the higher grade. The people who decree the grades of cabins have come up with the idea (like hotels) that higher is better. They've also decided the the Caribe balconies, being so large, should be the highest grade of balcony cabin. So, if you want a BA, you can have a bigger balcony lower on the ship, or be on the same deck as the pools and buffet, and have a standard balcony.

This is a pic I took from the Carnival Pride of the port side of Caribbean Princess in Grand Turk last summer. It shows the last few cabins on Emerald, Dolphin and Caribe deck, and much bigger the balconies are on those end mini-suites. (E730, D732, and presumably the same on the other side of the ship).

Dan,

 

THANK YOU for posting this picture. We're booked on the last balcony on the Emerald Deck on the September '10 and January '11 cruises. This is the best picture showing how much bigger the balcony is on that deck.
