E211 is going to be above the Princess Theater (about 1/3 down the length of the theater from the front, and on the starboard side edge). Not sure how much noise you'll hear from there during rehearsals and evening shows.

 

These are pictures of Royal Princess, however the cabin locations are going to be identical. I can see E211 balcony in this picture; bottom row, third full balcony cabin from the left...

 

 

Hope this helps...

 

:D

Wonderful! Thanks much. :o

On our last cruise we pretty much closed down the nightclub so evening noise shows or rehearsals shouldn't be an issue regardless. :) Hoping the lifeboats there don't obstruct the view from the balcony...

Regal Princess

We were upgraded for free from BZ obstructed balcony to DC unobstructed duluxe balcony. Any ideas how good an upgrade that might be?

Re Ft. Lauderdale - any advice on inexpensive motels/hotels that are decent? We figure to fly in the day before our cruise...

I just looked at the floor plan for the Regal and the BZ Balcony which I booked. There aren't many BZ balconies listed - only 4 that I can see on the floorplan which are on the Lido level, L110, L114, L109, L115. These 4 balconies list the obstruction as: PART OBSTRUCTED VIEWGLASS BALCONY RAIL - this doesn't sound like an obstruction to me?

Thoughts? Does anyone know where I can find actual pictures of the rooms?

I was just checking the prices for our upcoming trip 11/16 on the Regal Princess. I noticed the balconies were down to $699 and we paid $624 for an inside cabin. I contacted my TA and Princess upgraded us to balcony E630 and we now have $150 OC instead of $100 for no additional cost. It says on the Princess web site that its obstructed but on CC pictures it appears its not.

newbie here - what is "CC pictures"? :confused:

This is only our second cruise (the first one we "won" so we didn't have a lot of choice in cabins).

We are going to the Caribbean on the Regal Feb 15 (post Valentines... awww...:D) - I went ahead and booked the "cheapest" balcony figuring the cheapest balcony is better than an interior but wonder if it is worth the extra $? I know we will use the balcony if we have it but... it is an extra $300 (still hoping for an upgrade or price drop between now and the final payment being due....)

That deal is limited to certain cruises which is unfortunate - we tried for that but no prepaids. Did find some great room credits though which essentially covers the gratuities. :D
