Grand E730/731

[swimmer722]

I have read many wonderful things about the aft BB balconies on Grand, but most of them talk about C752/753 or D734/735. My husband and I, plus our 12 year old son, are in E731 and are concerned about the size of the room. When I talked to Princess, they said that room was 232 Sq. ft. I also understand there is a support beam on the balcony of that cabin.

 

They do have available C742 on Caribe deck, which is 270 sq. ft. Since it only holds 2, I would have to move my son in with my older daughter and of course, would be giving up the AFT balcony that we LOVE!

 

We are on a waiting list for the AD mini-suites, on Emerald Deck, of which we would love to have E728 or 729. While it would be $600 more, it would definately be more spacious if there waere 3 of us.

 

Does anyone who has stayed in E730/731 have pictures of the balcony? Should I move to the BB balcony on Caribe and give up the AFT (which would also mean giving up my son, not necessarily a bad thing :)

 

I would apreciate any feedback you have. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any information on either of these cabins?

We have reserved E729 on the Grand for next March but have noticed mini suites have opened up on the Dolphin deck. Is there something special about E729 (It is at the very rear of the ship). Should we stick with E729 or try to get a different mini suite on the Dolphin deck?

Oh I think you might want to keep E729. It's a prime location and has a extended baloncy.
