MT_DreamChaser Posted September 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Which decks have covered balconies and do some decks have larger balconies than others? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dag144 Posted September 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Caribe deck has the largest balconies. Thry are half covered and half open. You will love the size and arrangement. i always go for these. Make sure that you specifically reject the upgrade option. You probably won't get a mini or full suite, but may get a cabin on another deck with a smaller balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentoAlaska Posted September 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I found this link on CC quite awhile ago. Obviously this cruiser put a lot of time into this map of the balconies. I hope it helps you in making your decision. Debi http://www.cruisedeckplans.com/Princess/odell/res76zxu/princessbalconies/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoRoy218 Posted September 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I second that vote for the Caribe deck -- spoiled indeed. We're on the Regal in a few weeks and on Caribe deck again though I know those balconies can't compare. BUT any cruise is a good cruise! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GandM-nq Posted September 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2016 On Emerald Princess (and I assume Ruby too as it is a sister ship), there are mini suites on emerald deck that have fully covered balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriPhil Posted September 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Emerald: Caribe balconies are also the largest, with balconies that are partially covered/partially uncovered. Dolphin Deck mini suites are not as large as Caribe, but have decent space and are uncovered. Edited September 25, 2016 by LoriPhil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT_DreamChaser Posted September 27, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted September 27, 2016 What are the pros and cons to having a bumped out balcony on the caribe deck if it isn't one of the corner cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane.in.ny Posted September 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2016 On the Coral, and her sister the Island, Princess, we always go for the Caribe deck. Large partially covered balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Which decks have covered balconies and do some decks have larger balconies than others? Thanks. On Ruby & Emerald and also Crown for the largest regular balcony cabin, Caribe deck is your best option for a larger balcony ... half covered/half open. Note: All other regular balcony cabins are fully covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted September 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Mini-Suites on Dolphin (Deck 9) are totally uncovered. On Deck 8 the mini-suites are covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT_DreamChaser Posted September 29, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The deck plans for the Coral show premium balcony cabins as having more square footage on the Caribe deck than the bumped out balconies. Does anyone know the actual sqare footage of these balconies? The deck plans don't show balcony footage, just cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentoAlaska Posted September 29, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Mini-Suites on Dolphin (Deck 9) are totally uncovered.On Deck 8 the mini-suites are covered. Which is exactly why I posted this link for the poster's reference. http://www.cruisedeckplans.com/Princess/odell/res76zxu/princessbalconies/index.html Edited September 29, 2016 by DentoAlaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanddee Posted October 9, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 9, 2016 no...on some decks the balconies are actually completely uncovered (eg deck 8). OCruisers is distinguishing between mini-suite balconies and regular balconies. The deck plan link is an excellent aid. We just cruised on Dolphin deck 9 on the Ruby and, yes, we turned and looked up and waved at fellow passengers and even yelled out a few greetings.
