The Club Class minis are on Dolphin deck 9 and are the M1 category midships. If you're looking at the Princess website deck plans, hover your mouse over the picture of the ship cabins and the type of cabin will pop up.

TY very helpful!

 

If you have sailed both Princess and Celebrity...do you have an opinion?

The Grand and all of the ships built from the Grand's concept (Golden, Star, Diamond, Sapphire, Caribbean, Crown, Emerald, Ruby) have mini-suites on deck 9 (aft, mid-aft, mid, mid-fwd, fwd) and deck 8 (aft) only. As Club Class is the most desirable (aka most pricey) mini-suites, that means it's the mid minis, so deck 9 only.

Just curious...what is a "CLUB" mini suite versus a regular mini suite? Thank you!

Club Class mini-suites (and suites) are eligible for the enhanced anytime dining "product" called Club Class dining. It's basically a little additional anytime dining area in the MDR that usually serves as traditional/first then anytime, with different-color napkins/tablecloths, reports of a special dish that's not on the menu, quasi-tableside preparations (more like "at the waiter station"), and presumably enough capacity that there's never a wait longer than 5-10 minutes.

 

I'd summarize it to say there are extremely mixed opinions on it. Some people find it rather elitist/classful, others find it convenient, some think it's a reasonable step towards lightening the tedium of anytime dining that's always on a long wait between 5:45 and 7:00ish. We like it for lunch at sea, but prefer traditional dining for dinner and the suite breakfast if we're in a suite.
