Andygoblue,

 

I have R751 booked for a later sailing. How did you find out that it is smaller? On the Diamond we had A746 which would be the same as R748 on Ruby and the balcony was larger than port and starboard balconies. I know in the diagram that R751 looks smaller than the one beside it but I hoped it was just a little misleading on the diagram. Do you know if there an advantage to being in R751 as opposed to R749 that would make it worth the smaller balcony?

When I saw all four rooms were available, I called Princess direct to see why? I was told they were available because no one knows they exist. (they are just ocean view rooms on other sized Princess ships) Then I asked about the size because of the diagram. I don't have my notes anymore, so I'm probably off a bit, but she said 750 and 751 were something like 233 sq. ft. 748 and 749 were something like 236 sq. ft., and the others on Riviera are around 248. The difference is strictly in the balcony size.

The only reason I picked 751 is the privacy from anyone above.

I guess i wasnt entirely clear--- R747 on the ruby is a STARBOARD cabin, just the absolute furthest aft. You cant quite see it in that picture-- its just blocked by the rear corner bulk of the ship. It does NOT face aft. So what im looking for is a picture of what the SIDE BALCONIES (either side, its the same) of the ship looks like towards the extreme rear of the ship, not the actual back of the ship. Heres a pic of the cabin location, highlighted in red:

 

 

Sorry, i know its a bit confusing because on earlier ships R747 is a back balcony like you say.

We have R751 booked for an April sailing. Surprisingly, the other three aft cabins are still available. It is about 15 sq. ft. smaller than the port and starboard Riviera balc rooms, but you'd still think the other three would be gone by now.

Hello All,

 

We're booked on the Grand in October and I have a question about these balcony cabins.

 

We just got off another ship last week and were again at the Aft. Into and out of ports, when the Thrusters were on, the entire cabin shook. (Granted we were on a lower floor). Has anyone ever stayed in either of these cabins on the Grand, Sun or Golden, and if so, do you feel the thruster vibration on the Baja Deck?

 

Just wondering if we should stay with the larger balcony, or move more midship.

 

Opinions?

 

Thanks

We had B745 on the Grand this past April. I can honestly say the thrusters weren't that big of an issue. At least not one that's worth giving up that balcony and the view.

Never mind...I see the date means you must have been there the week before I was.

Barbara! I kind of wish it would have rained when we were there. Maybe my head wouldn't have been pounding as much in Roatan!:)

Gotta love the drinks at The Cat's Meow;)
