LOL! I think I may stick where I am and bring ear plugs.

We're going in April. Could be hit or miss when it comes to the motion of the ocean.

I found them great! But, how different will it be on the Sapphire? Have only sailed on Princess once, the Crown. Thanks, I really enjoyed your pictures!

Check out post number 33 it has the Diamond sister to the Sapphire.

Post number 23 is the Grand sister to the Star and Golden - Only difference is that the Star and Golden have the GS on the top aft deck along with a PS Suite and a OS, while the Grand has two OS suites and two PS suites.

Post number 25 has the Caribbean Princess. That should cover all the Grand Class of ships.

Next project is to find beam photos of the Grand, Star, Golden, Diamond, and Sapphire.

Thanks for a great post flvol77

The space in the middle of the stern at the back of Emerald Deck apears to be vents based on the attached photo of the Crown. You do not have it marked that way on your pic. What do you think it is?

It's one of the red-flagged threads at the top of the board list. It doesn't move around like a regular thread.

Thank you so much for doing the work to post the pictures and information. We're sailing the Sapphire next fall and I've probably driven my poor TA round the bend with VS cabin changes, LOL. I'm going to stop now!

Windango,

I love your kitty!

Also, OP, thank you for this wonderful reference. We've had VS D737 and VSE732 before, and your photos show how
very different the decks are on E deck compared to D deck which has deeper decks. Although we had noticed this before,
the size difference is quite significant compared to what we remembered.

I just checked the pictures off of web shots and it says c752 on the Crown Princess. Remember the crown and the Caribbean are different....Maybe web shots is incorrect?

Yes, C752 on the Crown is the same as C752 on the CB, it is a BB category not a suite.

You are correct - guess I should have look at my picture of the back of the crown 50 and 51 are suites and 52 is a BB balcony

I will make the changes post #2 and re post - thanks for catching my mistake.

What an amazing thread...
we have not yet sailed in a grand class ship, but would almost certainly go for an aft cabin if we ever do...your pictures will be a great asset when the time comes to select a cabin!

We were on the Caribbean this past May and June in B749, the mirror image of your cabin. You are going to love it.....trust me. After we had this cabin in May we knew we could never go back!
We'll be on the Crown this Nov and yup, you guessed it, we booked B749! The Princess rep joked and said they were going re-name the room for us. Funny!
We found it VERY quiet and peaceful. A wonderful plac to be on crowded sea days, your own little peace of the ship!
Enjoy, I know you will!
