Connecting rooms

[TYTY]

Hi does anybody know why Princess ships how very few connecting rooms?

The Royal class ships have significantly more than the preceding Princess ships.

Some ships have had additional ones added during retrofits; Ruby Princess and Caribbean Princess now have large sections of Aloha deck balcony cabins paired up. 

 

Princess simply does not attract as many extended families with small children that request connecting cabins as other lines do. Families with teens are permitted book them on their own in nearby non-connecting cabins. And the vast majority of cabins with balconies have removable partitions so one can pass between neighboring cabins that way. Which is good enough for most as the connecting interior door reduces usable space and increases noise from your neighbors--which is why couples tend to avoid these cabins.

We have had plenty to choose from on the cruises we've booked with our family friends (3 cruises so far).  We do book far in advance.

Probably not a huge demand.
