Emerald Princess A747... thanks for your help.

Is there any way to know what wall your bed will be on in your cabin?

In general, Princess cabins all have the bed by the wall, not by the balcony door. They do not alternate wall /balcony like Celebrity or Royal Caribbean, etc, as the cabin set up is diffent overall.

Your bed will impede neither the closet or the balcony doors.

As you're in a balcony cabin, you'll enter into a very short entrance hallway with bathroom and walk-in closet to either right or left, then past that into bedroom. You can't see the bed directly from the door, and have a bit of privacy that way. The closet is huge, with lots if shells, providing a dressing area of sorts separating bathroom from bedroom. Bed will be near the wall then desk/chair then balcony door... Tons and tons of YouTube videos, photos, etc of cabins online, a quick search will bring them up. Balcony cabins across the fleet are virtually all the same layout. A few exceptions exist with handicapped staterooms, deluxe balcony (only on Royal class ships), and a few quad cabins..

Enjoy.

PS: will look/have layout exactly like this, although decor has been updated: https://www.icruise.com/cabins/princess-cruises-emerald-princess-cabin-A747.html?redirectFromMob=true&404=http://m_icruise_com/cabins/princess-cruises-emerald-princess-cabin-A747_html=&

As a general rule, look at the deck plan and find the water tight door markings in the hallway. They appear as slightly rounded "V"s that are drawn in the hallway. On the deck plan linked in the previous post, you can see one between cabins 643 and 701. Once you locate one of these, the first cabin to the stern of the marker should have the bed facing so that your head would be toward the stern and your feet toward the bow. In other words, you would be lying so that you would be going forward. The next cabin (going to the stern) will have the bed in the opposite direction with your head at the bow and feet to the stern.

Another way to tell is to go to the Princess deck plan and click on the "Connecting Cabins" button. Each pair of connecting cabins will be highlighted. The wall that the connecting cabins share will be the wall that the bed does not abut. So this would be the wall your feet would be facing as your head would be up against the opposite wall. Once you find a pair of connecting cabins and orient yourself, just follow the cabins down the row in alternating fashion--such as "forward, backward, forward, backward etc., until you get to you cabin. In A747, your head would be situated toward the bow with your feet toward the stern.

Call Princess. They have a guide they can reference.

They've never been able to tell me when I've asked inthe past.

That is great info... thank you so much!

Best guess

The bathroom corridor utility access door is normally between and shared by two adjacent cabins. In your case A747 and A743. In that situation the bathroom and closet area will be on the left as you enter. Beds will be adjacent to the closet with the head to the left.

Just wondering, why would this be important?

My wife hates "going backwards". In a Mini-Suite (most of them, anyway), the direction of the sofa is the same as the bed. So if you are sitting upright on the sofa with the water going by, you are either going forward or going backward. Same if you are sitting on the bed or lying down. She insists (if at all possible) to go forward. Same on trains.
