a view of the PG's new aft cabins

Taken from the tender as we approached the ship:

Mahalo Sue! Great picture as it shows both what's above and below the new balconies. The new cabins look awesome!

Adding to Sue's photo from the outside, here are some photos of the interior of cabin 767, the center one of the 5 (just above the flag in Sue's pic). I posted these on another site during our trip last month, but I had meant to post them here and forgot until now.

More in the next post (this site only allows 5 photos per post)...

I hope those photos satisfy some of the curiosity about the newly added aft cabins. We didn't experience any problems with soot or vibrations (despite doing some serious rocking in 18-foot swells). The cabin was great, and we enjoyed the little bits of extra space we had compared to the other C cabins. The roomy bathroom and shower -- yes, I actually referred to a cruise ship bathroom as roomy! -- was a nice treat, as was the slightly larger balcony. The only negative I'd cite is the clear glass panels at the edge of the balcony; they should have used reflective glass to make the balconies more private, although it's really not a major problem since few people walk around the back of deck 6 (behind L'Etoile) below.

What was there before?

What was there before?

A beautiful lounge/bar with huge panoramic windows and comfy chairs called the Connoissseur Club. It was one of my favorite spots on the ship.

Geez loueeze! Who did that silly remodel.......?

Good to hear that some will request those staterooms but really, the lovely lounge "BD" (Before Drydock) was better, especially for those private parties.

Thanks for the photos. I couldn't help but notice the safe up on the top shelf in one of the closets. do they provide a step stool for using it? I remember tossing garments up onto my top shelf (I'm 5' 4").

Also they had to put the loveseat on the same wall as the TV. That leaves the bed as the only seating or lounging area to view the TV.

AAAAARRRRGH! Is there a replacement for the Connoisseur Club? That was my favorite place on the ship too!

No replacement for the C. Club. I never sailed the PG before dry dock so have nothing to compare but didn't miss having it. People gathered in La Palette or out on the deck or in the piano bar (though in there no view of outside).

In 2006 you posted a photo of the rear cabins taken from the tender. [...] Could you post it again

You bet. Here ya go.
