Crown Princess B749

[abbiep]

We are taking a cruise to Alaska and thinking about booking B749.  Is it covered and are there any cons?  Thanks

Love aft balconies. Haven't stayed in that one, but have been in the ones toward the center of the section. It had the "dreaded beam"...not a big deal at all (as long as you didn't close your eyes and walk into it...boing! crash! boom! 😆).

We've stayed in cabin B749 and it's a nice cabin. We stay in aft cabins all the time now. Cruising up to Alaska there is a lot of cold wind and being back aft you don't get that cold wind, it's more protected.

Covered and no dreaded beam. You will feel like you are the only one on the ship. Enjoy!

Thanks. We love aft cabins especially in Alaska. It’s already booked for sept 2022 so we couldn’t get it.

Thanks.  I wish we could have gotten it. Already booked.

We had this one on a transatlantic....you can not see around the corner to the side...the wake view is fabulous - especially when leaving port!  We like to see where we are going, so prefer a side balcony...everyone likes different views, so it is a personal preference...being back in the corner - it is really quiet!

Those corner aft balconies on the Caribe deck can book quickly. What about the corner ones on the Baja deck? Are they available?

Riviera deck has some. The aft balconies on Dolphin and Emerald decks have the dreaded beam but many people love them versus other options.
