joeyjeremiah Posted November 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hello, I'm looking at booking 2 cabins on the Caribbean princess. 1 mini suite and 1 inside cabin. Want the rooms close together. Any suggestions on best areas to book? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john watson Posted November 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I should book a Mini-suite on Emerald Deck first or last in port or starboard run. Big balcony which is sheltered from above but good views from rail. Insides are available close by. We had E720 NY round trip Bermuda and Caribbean.

There are only 6 on each side of the ship in the aft side area. They are the only minis with a fully covered balcony and are in a quiet dead end passageway. There are 2 insides across the hall on each side of the ship. (4 total) Book fast they don't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjeremiah Posted November 28, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks ended up going with an aft balcony instead E734. Does anybody know what is next to us? It's a big area with no info on the floor plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big area with no info on the floor plan. Service areas. Most of the mystery white areas are places where the crew works their magic. Be aware that the only inside cabins close to your cabin have bunk beds that stick out from the wall at least 6" when folded up.

john watson Posted November 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) This will be a crew area I believe there are crew stairs centrally aft you can see then through the flappy doors marked "crew only", as I recall, on the promenade deck. They wont be the whole width of the white void. The white area beyond Ocho Rios suite, E732; in the corner of the ship are emergency stairs which run from deck 14 to deck 7 and only used by passengers for the muster drill unless there is a incident.

I would absolutely hate to have one of those cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards John We're considering Caribbean for a Canal cruise and also looking at the mini's on Emerald deck aft - they are all above the Club Fusion so did you notice any noise from there in the late evenings/night?

joeyjeremiah Posted November 29, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I booked E716 as the inside cabin. Do we know for sure if that one has the bunk beds sticking out from the wall. I didn't see anything in the room description. The room will be 2 twins so the bunk beds might not be a big deal.

To be honest I have never had more than two in a cabin. I saw a photograph of one of these beds stuck to the walls cabins on one of the Sun class ships on these boards. I thought, they cannot be furnishing the more modern design ships with this type of cabin. Presumably they are then.

john watson Posted November 29, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) There are some relevant pictures on this forum under; New Cruisers - Cabin Selection Tips - Princess Cabins (by ccgran). See post #5 They seem to be a bit intrusive, so the plan would be avoid a three or four berth cabin if possible.

eagletwo Posted November 29, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 29, 2016 We leave this Saturday on the Caribbean Princess and have booked E731 for the second time. No noise from Club Fusion. Really love the extra room on the balcony. Very quiet area this far aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooguy Posted November 29, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 29, 2016 We had one of those insides with the sticking out bunk beds. I still have the bruises to prove it. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted November 29, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 29, 2016 All of those aft insides are quads, as per the deck plans. They will all have the bunks on the walls: Occupants will have fewer bruises if they keep the beds as twins. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since me and DH will be in E734 and MIL and DS will be sharing E716 I think dealing with the wall bunks will be more convenient than being farther away.

Rare Kinkacruiser Posted November 29, 2016 #20 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) I agree.....Any mini on Emerald deck. There are only 6 on each side of the ship in the aft side area. They are the only minis with a fully covered balcony and are in a quiet dead end passageway. There are 2 insides across the hall on each side of the ship. (4 total) Book fast they don't last long. I took your advice and swapped our Dolphin aft mini for one of the remaining Emerald aft minis. There were only 3/12 left for our March 2018 cruise, so they are snapped up quickly. Not only will we benefit from a covered balcony, we will have more privacy from above, a quiet location and proximity to aft lifts. We also saved a few hundred dollars in the process. You learn something new on CC every day. Thanks Keith and John :) Edited November 29, 2016 by Kinkacruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
