floridacruisegirl Posted April 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi every one! :) I am booked on a Coral Princess cruise to Alaska. Does any one know if D717 (Dolphin deck AC mini suite) is forward facing or backward facing? I am hoping it is forward - please let me know. Thank you so much! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prg2101 Posted April 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I didnt think Princess ships had forward facing Balconies......We had one on NCL (forward) and indeed it was very breezy....lol:D John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poulsbo Cruisers Posted April 15, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Although the original question is a little confusing, I think the OP is asking whether or not the sofa and bed in their mini suite is facing toward the bow or the stern of the ship. I have seen other posters in the past concerned with this same issue. For the most part every other cabin is arranged with opposite of the cabin next to it.

Thank you so much! :) Your cabin is on the side of the ship, as you probably know from looking at the deck plans. Are you wondering which way your bed faces?

floridacruisegirl Posted April 15, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hello - I apologize for the confusion. Yes, my cabin is a starboard cabin...I meant to ask which way the furniture faces. I'm aware it will be opposite of adjacent cabins, but was wondering if anyone knows if my cabin, in particular, is one that has forward or backward facing furniture/bed. It is D717 on the dolphin deck (Coral Princess). thank you!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingcruisinn Posted April 15, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I think that with this specificity you should call Princess Cruises at 800-princess. You may get some guesses from here but in this case I would go to the "horses mouth". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted April 15, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 15, 2009 D-719 on the Island had the head of the bed aft so I would think that 717 is opposite that with the head forward. The ships are identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjack22 Posted April 15, 2009 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I am curious, why do you hope you face forward? That would mean since you have a cabin on the starboard side that when you walk into your cabin your bathroom and bed would be on your right. I asked the same question awhile back, but I didn't have a preference, just wanted to know so I could picture it in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridacruisegirl Posted April 15, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks for your replies. To clarify, when we walk into our cabin, we would like the bed and bathroom to be on our left. That way, when the ship is sailing, the bed moves forward in the same direction of the ship. I am on hold with Princess now to clarify. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjack22 Posted April 15, 2009 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I suspect the bed and bath are on the right from what the other poster said. I don't know why it matters as far as motion goes. Now if the head of the bed was on the outside wall like it is in oceanview cabins, then it would ge a different kind of movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired 07 Posted April 16, 2009 #15 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi every one! :) I am booked on a Coral Princess cruise to Alaska. Does any one know if D717 (Dolphin deck AC mini suite) is forward facing or backward facing? I am hoping it is forward - please let me know. Thank you so much! :) Two years ago, we were in D715 on the Island Princess(sister to the Coral), and when you walked into the room, the bath and bed were on the right. The head of the bed was aft, so when you are lying in bed, you are facing in the same direction that the ship is moving. So, I would assume that your mini, right next door, is the opposite.

Thank you so much! :) I was in D416, Our cabin's couch face forward. I am guessing the cabin next to us would have faced aft. But the chair was facing aft, as it faced the couch Are you woried about motion sickness while sitting in cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSMcDuffy Posted April 23, 2009 #18 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Same question, but for Crown Princess C235 - suffer from motion sickness!!!!Melanie I also have motion sickness. Our couch (on HAL) was facing aft and when I sat on it sailing backwards it bothered me at first but I got used to it after a while. I think the bed situation was okay since I was lying down. On our upcoming Princess cruise we'll have 1 or 2 chairs instead of a couch so at least I can turn them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterCaro Posted April 23, 2009 #19 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Without knowing the answer to the OP's question, I can at least sympathize. I discovered (on another cruise line) that I can't sleep with my feet facing out to sea instead of my head. It was weird -- not exactly motion sickness, but I just couldn't close my eyes because of the "wrong" orientation. I had to sleep upside down every night.
