BAJA DECK staterooms on Caribbean Princess

Hi all!

Has anyone stayed in an oceanview balcony room on the Baja Deck?

If so, where was it? How was it? Any suggestions? Pictures? Reviews?

Also, how are the sleeping quarters for the 3rd & 4th people in these rooms?

Thanks so much everyone!

Also, any other info you have is greatly appreciated!!!

We were on Baja, midship. The balcony has a small table with two chairs and is a covered balcony. We were a family of three and the upper berth came down from the ceiling. Do ask your room steward for egg crate mattress toppers. They have them also for the upper berth. We found the cabin fine, with alot of storage space.

We are Baja Deck as well with 4 people. What are egg crate toppers????

We just came back, we were in Baja, 742 in aft section. Really liked our cabin.Covered balcony.

Thanks for the "heads up" about the egg crate mattress toppers! Didn't even know they had those available!! ;)

Do you know if rollaway cots are provided in the room or do you have to request them? Anyone know how that works?:confused:

Egg crate matress covers are just foam like sheets. You can request your steward to put them on when you board. It makes your bed feel softer. Another thing about the balconies, you can look down on all the uncovered balconies!

No rollaway cots, everyone has a bed, either on the floor or a pull down.

I am hearing different things all over.

So, some Baja Deck Oceanview balcony rooms have 2 upper beds? Or do they only have one upper bed and a rollaway?

I tried to contact Princess about this, and the rep wasn't sure about the sleeping arrangements, but said she was positive the room would fit four people sleeping in it.

:confused:

We were a family of three so I can not comment on a rollaway or another upper berth but they must have quad cabins on that deck...

Look on the deck plans for your cabin. If you see a triangle beside the cabin #, the cabin has two lower and one upper berth while the 4th person will require the roll-away bed. If you see a red dot beside the cabin #, the cabin has two lower and two upper berths.

Thanks for the info! I will check that out!

Anyone else have any cabin stories? Secrets? Any info?

Call me nosy, but I love hearing the stories and secrets of the ships.

Anyone else have any info on Baja deck balcony rooms?

Thanks!

I stayed in Balcony Cabin #250 on Baja Deck. Lovely Room with covered balcony. We had heard about the foam mattress toppers after We booked our Feb. Cruise again from the Cruise Critic site. We were told to call Princess Guest Services and request this topper and You can also request Feather Pillows. I requested both and had to follow up with a FAX. Princess gave me the number and when I arrived on 2/26 both were on Our bed. What a difference in sleeping. So comfortable! Just an extra perk. Not everyone knows about this. I have been a repeat cruiser with Princess, this last cruise being #14 and nobody from Princess clued me in or My Travel Agent. That is why I love "Cruise Critic"!

We stayed in B332. it was great the balcony was covered. It was me and my DH. I didn't notice any bunks but I wasn't looking. I can send some pictures of the room when I get home if you would like.

and the storage area

IKE,

I am going on this ship and will be in B250 on 10/8/05. Actually, we have a few balcony cabins in a row and the inside cabins across the hall. We also have a few balconies on the other side of the ship down the other end. Did you get the robes and fruit in the cabin?

Laurie

we had to ask for robes and the fruit and 2 little cookies were waiting for us in the room

I would get ready in the spa's locker room and I wouldn't pack much I think it might be a bit tight but it will be what you make of it :)

We'll be in B246 on 10/22/05; is that one you'll have in your row? Can't wait to see it in person!

Kellie in Texas.... yes we have the 3 in a row (mine is 250) we have a few down the other end on the other side (believe they are b730ish balconies--don't have the actual numbers)and we have couple of inside cabins across from mine and also across from the 700 block. Would love to see pictures of the cabins before we go, but if not I will try to post some when I get back (10/8/05 cruise date)

There are four of us booked in a Aloha balcony room on the Caribbean Princess and according to the book our room is for 3... :confused:

According to Princess and our travel agent they will bring a rollaway bed for the 4th berth in the room.

I am interested to see how this will work... :rolleyes: The rooms aren't that big to start with then to add a rollaway... :eek:

Please post if someone has actually had a rollaway in a balcony cabin on the Caribbean Princess.
