GTO-Girl Posted March 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We just booked our first Princess cruise and our first "aft" balcony B752 on the Emerald Princess. Any chance anyone out there has any pictures of this balcony or one similar? (I have already verified that it does not have the dreaded beam :D) Also we are driving from Atlanta to FLL (no flames we HATE to fly). Can anyone who has driven this give me an idea about how long we're looking at? Thanks everybody!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamwinn Posted March 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2009 My mother lives in McDonough and will not fly. Thus she drives to the various FL ports when cruising. They typically spend the night in central FL instead of driving the entire way in one day. It is around 600 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Ann 2 Posted March 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Congratulations! We love aft balconies. On our transatlantic two years ago, we had one and it was incredible to have that many sea days with this balcony! Just loved to spend time watching and listening to the wake. Especially nice as it was protected from the wind. Even on just a 7 day cruise out of Galveston, it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusinAgain Posted March 30, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Lucky you! We had that room booked but had to cancel it last year - they are hard to get. Do let us know when you return your thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitejoel Posted March 30, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We had the cabin directly underneath this cabin on the Emerld in May 07...in C748....this was our first cruise and the Aft cabin position was fantastic for us...there's absolutely no engine noise or vibration..lying in bed watching the wake snake its way behind was magic. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprite Posted March 30, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We have our first aft cabin (B749) booked for the Ruby in January and we can't wait. Here is a thread that is awesome for the aft cabins. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=808951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisindad Posted March 30, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's been a few years, but we've made the drive from Marietta, and I seem to recall it took us about 12 hours. But that was making numerous pit stops, and we drive conservatively. I suspect it would not be difficult to beat that time, especially if you aren't starting from the north side of town. For comparison, I put it into mapquest, and it said 10.5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a long way to drive, but we hate to fly so much that it just works out better for us.... Thanks for the info!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyjudy56 Posted April 3, 2009 #16 Share Posted April 3, 2009 We have C753 booked on the Golden for Alaska. I can't wait to experience an aft cabin for the first time. GTO Girl, You must have a GTO. We have 3 of the them. Love our Goats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolforkatz Posted April 4, 2009 #17 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Oh, you're so lucky!!!! I just got off a two-week voyage on the Grand in C752. I LOVED that cabin. We used it so much - coffee in the morning, wine before dinner, a nightcap before bed. It's really, really private and no wind. Dead private, too. It's the most usable balcony we've ever had. I could just sit there and stare out to sea all day quite happily. You don't get a ton of sun which suited us fine because sometimes balconies aren't usable in port because they're so blazing hot. And it was easy to keep the door open at night because you didn't get that whistling wind noise you get in some cabins. You will love it!!!

We were on the Golden Princss C752 two weeks ago, it's just the best cabin. We did exactly what you did. I'm so ready to go again! Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
