Crown Dolphin Deck

[Mescubamom]

Hi, We are traveling on the Crown Princess this Fall and are on the Dolphin. We were on the Grand last spring and the only thing I was not thrilled with was the deck being to open. We dive so we needed a balcony with a tub. After reading about the caribe decks sounds like this is where we should be. Are there any rooms with tub & shower as balconies or just the mini suites??

Thanks

Alice, only the mini-suites and up have the tub. If you can find a mini suite on the Emerald deck, aft, those are covered. Otherwise, its the Dolphin (open) deck or a full suite.

also on dolphin deck in may 2007....are the balcony doors sliding?

There are 2 decks on the Crown that are partially covered - Caribe & Dolphin. The other decks are either fully open or completely covered.

I understand that the full aft cabins on the Dolphin deck are also totally covered. We've got D734 booked on the Crown and this is what we were told.

Hi,

Looking at the deck plans the dolphin balconies look bigger than the caribe.

Is this true? I thought I had heard that the caribe balconies were the biggest.

Many thanks,

Lisa, Dolphin deck balcony space is slightly smaller than the Caribe. It may look bigger in pictures because it is fully visible, while the Caribe deck space is partly hidden from view.

 

Kim, Fully aft balconies are frequently left out of the covered/uncovered lists because there are so few. But yes, the true aft balconies are covered, except on some ships where the top row (usually Aloha) may be partly uncovered to one side or the other, depending on ship.

 

Born4water's post is somewhat misleading in that regard as the side Dolphin deck balconies are all fully uncovered. There are no partly covered side dolphin deck balconies. These are the minisuites the OP was asking about. The Dolphin aft rooms are covered, but these are BB cabins or a suite, no minis.

 

I find it much easier to keep track of this way: Dolphin (side) are all open. Caribe (side) are all half open. Everything else is covered.

Thanks for the info Cheryl. That explains things perfectly!

Thanks for that, most helpful, I snagged c753 aft balcony on the new P&O Ventura which is apparently same layout as the Crown.

Thanks,

Lisa:)
