Decent room or not?

Need help--1st time on Princess cruises. Looking at the Star rm E729--AD catagory. Is this room ok or should I be looking at others? Thanks so much.

Lots of folks prefer that cabin as the deck wraps around (not shown on deck plans) a little bit to the aft. I'll come back and edit this with a link to such a picture in a minute.

 

Here is the picture, this is from the CB (E731) but you get the idea:

We sailed 25 days in E728, same room opposite side of the ship. Yes, there is a larger balcony but for our 25 day cruise we found we were miles away from everything (or at least it seemed like it). It is the farthest cabin towards the aft on the side of the ship. The rooms are identical to the rest of the minis onboard, the only difference is the balcony. There was quite a bit of bleed through from the music in the lounge downstairs until about 11:00 each evening also.

 

Although some really like this larger balcony that comes with this mini, we found that we had so much wind that it was unusuable for many days on the ship as the wind whips from the aft.

 

Would we book this stateroom again? Nope, not when others with a protected balcony on both sides were able to use theirs everyday where we were limited to only the days that had nicer, less windy weather.
