lindabaz Posted February 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2014 These are photos of L306 (Lido deck), just behind the pizza station. There are three premium ocean view rooms and the Grand Suite inside a private entryway. The entryway has two doors, one opening directly into the hallway and the other immediately inside the glass doors onto Lido deck.: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 8, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks for the photos. Never knew these existed. Only on the Grand Princess or all Grand class ships. Nice cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindabaz Posted February 8, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 8, 2014 These rooms are only on the Grand. There are 3 on port and 3 on starboard.The rooms are the same size as OV's with balconies, except the "balcony" space is inside the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted February 8, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the photos. Never knew these existed. Only on the Grand Princess or all Grand class ships. Nice cabin.There are two very similar cabins, S702 and S704, that were added along with 10 full suites aft on the Sun deck (15) on the Golden during her 2009 drydock. Could be a nice place for kids if parents booked one if the suites. The Grand is the only ship with these cabins forward on Lido deck (14). On the Golden and later Grand class ships there are only balcony and inside cabins on Lido deck.

lindabaz Posted February 25, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted February 25, 2014 TXRED(?) and several other cruisers asked for photos of the POV cabins, so I'm bumping them back to the top - TXRED, just following up on a promise! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Bucks! Posted February 25, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Nice looking cabin! Love the huge window. Reminds me of the 2 large windows in the Window Suite cabins. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24639 Posted February 25, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I booked one of these cabins for our Christmas cruise to Hawaii. So nice to see pictures of how our room will look. I am so fair skinned that I really don't give a rats butt about a balcony. I love the big windows! Besides I am only steps away from the outdoors and pizza. Is the bathroom standard? Smallish stall shower, friendly shower curtain? Oddly enough there was a price reduction on our sailing and from what I could see this was one of the few cabin categories that was reduced.

Rare Paula_MacFan Posted February 25, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks for posting these pictures! I noticed the 2 cabins on the Golden's Sun Deck and wondered what they looked like. As someone up thread posted, these are probably representative of the Golden's cabins as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the 2 cabins on the Golden's Sun Deck and wondered what they looked like. As someone up thread posted, these are probably representative of the Golden's cabins as well. Thanks! These are photos of S704. The only other cabins back there on the Sun Deck are 10 suites. These two cabins are finished off like the suites with more wood, granite counter tops, better light fixtures, etc. The windows also go all the way to the floor. The bathrooms are just as small as every other oceanview cabin. Outside view of the two cabin's windows. There is also a nice seating area with lounge chairs just out side of the hallway door. It is just one deck down to the back of the Horizon Court. Edited February 25, 2014 by IECalCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mini suite booked for Alaska but every time I see this cabin available, I stop and think about how much money I could save and still have a great view. I like the fact that you're close to open decks for outdoor viewing, as well as the buffet and bar. I've never sailed without a balcony, and don't know if Alaska is a good place to try an inside, but this cabin might make me change my mind. My concern is that the weather will be too cool to use the balcony anyway. Edited February 25, 2014 by Paula_MacFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djefferis Posted February 25, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks for the pics - we are in L304 on the 3/15 sailing, glad to see a good photo of the rooms. Princess was actually nice enough to contact the ship and send a photo as the website doesn't accurately show these rooms - but yours are much better. Price wise these actually weren't better than a balcony on our sailing, I think it was equal - but the fact we probably won't be using a balcony much with temps topping out in the 60's and the location makes it unbeatable to us.

Thrak Posted February 25, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just went to the Princess site and checked out a bunch of sailing dates for Golden trying to get an idea of how these rooms are priced but deck 15 ocean view is sold out on all of the ones I checked. Apparently a lot of folks know about these cabins so they go fast. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shredie Posted June 9, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I was passing by one of these rooms once during cleaning, and I peeked. :o They are beautiful. I didn't know they existed either until I happened on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceleven Posted July 29, 2016 #21 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks for the pics - we are in L304 on the 3/15 sailing, glad to see a good photo of the rooms. Princess was actually nice enough to contact the ship and send a photo as the website doesn't accurately show these rooms - but yours are much better. Price wise these actually weren't better than a balcony on our sailing, I think it was equal - but the fact we probably won't be using a balcony much with temps topping out in the 60's and the location makes it unbeatable to us. I would book one of these (6) cabins in a snap if one was available when I book our next Alaska cruise. As I mentioned earlier, I did book one last year for a Hawaii cruise but got upsold to a window suite. I am still looking forward to giving one a try. And yes, the price was very similar to the balconies in the same area but a balcony is not what we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted July 30, 2016 #22 Share Posted July 30, 2016 My friend stayed in a cabin with a window from the floor to the ceiling. We went to look out it was on the side of the ship near the HC. My wife got dizzy looking out. It was on the Grand Princess. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted July 30, 2016 #23 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Thank you for posting. I knew they existed but had not seen pictures. I think it's nice that they have the hallway and door that leads out to the back of the ship and those nice loungers.:):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted July 30, 2016 #24 Share Posted July 30, 2016 As for the ones on the Grand that are just behind the Pizza station and Trident Grill, did you notice any noise from the sun deck above? We were right under the Trident Grill once ... never again. Just wondering if these were just as noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
