rosenbra Posted August 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2009 We're stongly considering a balcony room on the Caribe Deck of the Carribean Princess? What is the best cabin(s) to consider? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted August 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2009 C753 or C752 Both are BB categorys- neighbors on one side only. The best balcony I ever sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifra Posted August 9, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I totally agree. If you can get one of those cabins don't hesitate just book it quick! Regarding the other balc cabins on caribe they are all the same. I suggest you look at deck plans and get the cabin that is more convenient to the areas of the ship you will use most, providing there are no motion sickness concerns.

Caribbean Sunsets Posted August 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I like mid ship on the Caribe Deck, which is what I have for my upcoming cruise on the Caribbean Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngercruisers Posted August 11, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2009 When I cruise Princess I only ever stay on that deck... it's the best and the biggest balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFD130 Posted August 11, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2009 So the Caribe Balcony is larger than say Aloha? We are booked in Aloha next Feb. Is it worth it to upgrade to Caribe? Any drawbacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted August 11, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I like mid ship on the Caribe Deck, which is what I have for my upcoming cruise on the Caribbean Princess. have you ever tried one of the aft balconies on that deck? if you get a chance on the day everyone is getting off go to the back and ask the steward to let you see the balcony.

Youngercruisers Posted August 12, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2009 So the Caribe Balcony is larger than say Aloha?We are booked in Aloha next Feb. Is it worth it to upgrade to Caribe? Any drawbacks? Yes it's bigger. Also it's partically covered. The decks above caribe deck are covered and flush.. not much sunshine. The caribe balcony juts out and it partially covered and you CAN fit TWO loungers not just small table and chairs ! It's the best... if it rains up can sit under the covered section if it's sunny you move your chair to exposed section. The dophin deck below juts out but the balcony is exposed so if it rains you can't sit out. Catagory BB is the best and worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted August 12, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2009 and you CAN fit TWO loungers not just small table and chairs ! when we sailed the Crown we were told no more loungers are allowed to be on the balconies- there are 2 regular chairs and 2 that lounge back. I wonder if this is fleet wide now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAWS Posted August 12, 2009 #10 Share Posted August 12, 2009 C753 or C752 Both are BB categorys- neighbors on one side only. The best balcony I ever sailed. Yes!! We had C753 on the Golden last month and we've booked the same cabin for our next Princess sailing too. The balcony is huge and it's great to have that corner. If I couldn't get the corner, I'd still book on another deck but take the full aft. You'll never see views like you'll see there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrider Posted August 12, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2009 C753 or C752, great balcony's, but really I like any Caribe Balcony, excellent for Balcony Breakfasts or Ultimate Balcony Diners.:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll never see views like you'll see there. i checked out the aft balconies on the Baja deck ( I think that is where they were-) If I could not get one of those corner ones I dont think I would move up to the Baha deck with those aft balconies. for one-- there is too many cabins up there-- could be a lot of trqaffic coming and going at dinner-- one of the reasons I loved the C753-- i had my own hall and very few cabins back there to share.

PGHPenguins Fan Posted August 12, 2009 #13 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi We sailed on the Carribean Princess and had a mid room with a balcony. We could see down on all the balconies below us. We really liked the Baja. It was covered so no one could look down on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean.....Having that hallway to C752/753 is wonderful. It is so private and quiet. Made us feel like VIP's. I also agree that Baja corner balcs while nice are not the same.

I also agree that Baja corner balcs while nice are not the same. We sailed on the Emerald Princess in C753, that balcony is to die for, the best cabin we ever had.

sssct Posted August 16, 2009 #16 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Definitely book and Caribe deck ballcony cabin! Big balconies, part covered, part with open sun. I have stayed on Dolphin deck 3x for mini-suite, but if I were to go again, I'd go for the balcony space over the mini-suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katecat Posted August 24, 2009 #19 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hello We have B751 on the Baja deck booked. It was the only aft balcony left, and they told us it was partially obstructed:(. Has anyone ever seen this cabin. It is supposed to have a centre support but does not obstruct very much;). Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
