Coral princess...Caribe or Dolphin deck

[Wavelet]

We’re planning on taking a cruise on the Coral and are trying to decide on the deck. I know the Grand class ships have very nice balconies on Caribe deck. Are the Coral Caribe balconies larger than the Dolphin balconies or are they the same size? Which do you prefer? Thank you for your input.

The Caribe deck balcony we had was larger than on Dolphin deck. Here’s a link to a webpage with information on Coral and Island (prior to adding new cabins) balconies which should give you an idea of what to expect.

The Caribe balconies on the Coral are partially covered which we like. Can provide some shelter from the sun or rain.

Thanks Astro Flyer and Diane for your suggestions. We’ll book Caribe:)

Or consider Emerald deck, aft cabins. They're fully covered and deep enough that at least some portion is likely to be dry even in inclement weather.

 

From my trip report from my northbound voyage of the glaciers sail on Coral about a year ago (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2508384)

Balcony room (Cat. BE) on Starboard side aft, deck 8 (Emerald), room E703. There's a patch of fully covered balconies there that are the larger balcony like what you find on Caribe deck. We never noticed noise from the lounge below, though being opposite a service door was a little loud the final evening (but not bad).
