Coral aft balconies question

[AZoceanlovers]

Can anyone verify that the aft balconies on the Coral are available for passenger use? Our TA has had "discussions" with Princess about this. Princess says they are for crew use only but I seem to remember reading someone's review about enjoying the view off the back of the ship from the balconies. Thanks.

The aft balconies on the Coral and Island are definitely for passenger use! The best thing is most passengers don't bother to walk to the end of the ship. We have been on both ships on Caribe and Dolphin decks in aft (700 series of numbers) cabins and took advantage of the decks especially the day in Glacier Bay and on our Panama Canal transit. Oftentimes we had them to ourselves.

Thanks. that's the answer I was hoping for. We're booked in C724 in Aug 2012 and chose the aft because of the balconey. Maybe no one else will know about it-or only nice people. ;)
