Rare trbarton Posted December 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I’m in stateroom E510. It’s an obstructed view Mini Suite. Anyone been in this stateroom & have any photos? It's my 1st cruise in a Mini Suite. Thanks! Tom😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sunviking90 Posted December 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I’m pretty sure your stateroom is a deluxe balcony, not a mini suite. Are you sure it’s on Emerald deck? Here is a link to the same stateroom on the Royal Princess if you’re wondering how the obstruction is. https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/ships/stateroom-details.php?ship=Royal-Princess-III&cabin=E510 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps OP has the wrong stateroom number as E510 is definitely a deluxe balcony. We usually get one of the rooms down the hall on the bump out with the extended balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZjohn Posted December 23, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 23, 2023 @sunviking90, E510 is a BW Balcony cabin, not mini-suite according to Princess web site. I just googled the cabin and the only photo I could find is from E510 on Royal (same floor print). Photo of balcony did not look good to me (lifeboat right in line of site). I would post pic but is copywrite so someone else can just google it. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. A Deluxe Balcony, obstructed view with probably a lifeboat outside. I misread the deck plans. Tom😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obstruction isn't bad, since you have a good view looking out over the lifeboat. You can't see down, but that's not where the eclipse will be anyhow. 😂 And chances are that most of us who're on that cruise will need to leave our cabins to see the eclipse in full. Even if the ship rotates, a person would miss a lot of it by staying put in a cabin. Edited December 23, 2023 by Sea Hag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Here’s what I found from the Princess Web site. A mini suite is usually larger plus instead of a shower you have a bathtub. You also have 2 TV’s & a curtain separating the sleeping area from the area with the sofa & the other TV. My deluxe balcony is an Obstructed View Balcony which may have a lifeboat outside which only blocks part of your view. There is a new stateroom on some ships called the Reserve Collection Mini-Suites. I'm enclosing information that is on the Princess Web Site about the Muni Suite & the new Reserve Collection Muni Suite. . Hopefully someone can post photos of their mini suite. In looking at deck plans on the Discovery I’ve found that some Mini Suites are larger than others. I hope that this helps. I have enjoyed having a sofa in the Deluxe Balcony.

Thanks. Deluxe balcony rooms are smaller with a loveseat size sofa and only a shower. Mini suites are larger, have a larger sofa, a privacy curtain to separate sleeping/sofa areas, two tvs, one for each area, and a shower/tub combo.
