Help me pick a suite!

[Camlott]

Looking at a vista suite on Grand Princess in Alaska next summer.

 

Trying to pick between D736/D737 or C751. Haven't found much about these cabins other than the beam. That doesn't appear to be anything that would bother us. Any advantage to any of these over the others?

round trip or one way? one way you want the land side if possible. you might want to ask on Alaska borad if anyone has done a aft.

Round trip from Seattle

We were recently on Star in E733 and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can see aft and have a little view to the side. Again, Loved it.:D No issues of any sort.

The suites on Aft are always most desired.The Grand has several different categories to choose from

Dolphin deck suites will have a view to the side as well as aft. I would go with one of the Dolphin deck suites.

Thanks! I already have C751 reserved, but you guys just confirmed it for me. We'll be changing to Dolphin tomorrow!

But you waive your privacy as everyone above you will be sharing your veranda with you!

Not at all, the balcony is completely private. You are thinking of the mini-suites.

 

Camlott if you are sold on a Vista stick with D736-D737 as they are the best of the lot.

 

If you want to be more centrally located I would go with the Cairbe PH suite.

 

C751 is an odd cabin with that strange offset when you first open the door and the balcony is not as large as the Dolphin suites.

Confirming the post by bhopal21, it is only the mini-suites on the sides of Dolphin deck that have exposed balconies. On Grand class ships, all of the true aft balconies except for the the top deck balconies are fully covered and the Dolphin deck Vista suites are fully covered.

Did C751 on the sister ship, the Golden, round trip to Seattle, and the aft is the way to go for Alaska.

 

Enjoy!!

Thanks everyone, I changed to D736 today. We love aft cabins, can't wait to try our first aft on Princess.

Just curious where I can find this info? It's nice to be able to see information that is specific to each cabin!

We just got off the Golden C751, and would take it again in a flash. The room was very large, and the balcony, despite the beam which was no problem, held a table, 2 chairs, 2 lounges, and a small side table. It was very quiet, with excellent aft views.

We were your neighbors in C749! I was initially surprised at how cut up this suite appeared. It seems to be somewhat smaller than your suite, but the balcony is somewhat larger. Would love to have it on a longer voyage! The aft is my preference for the privacy, and those views!

It is on princess.com at the deck plans section of each ship but is notoriously inaccurate.

My bad! I always stay on aft B748 was the last on the Grand...no beams,huge deck and total privacy.I suppose thats why I never get a Mini Suite because of the lack of privacy.Sounds like he made the best choice for his money.

Go to princess.com and check out the deck plans. Click on any room and you will see the relevant info.

Thanks... I know that Carnival has a site with specifics of each cabin that includes information you can't find anywhere else (balcony partitions etc.). Thought maybe Princess had the same.

 

I was able to find a complete set of pictures of D736 on the Grand and it looks good to me!

 

I'm not a fan of the Princess balconies that are offset with little to no privacy. One of the main reasons we went with an aft cabin!
