clandt Posted April 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2004 We are planning to join the CP on it's July 10th sailing. We want a mini-suite and others in our group will be on Emerald so my husband thought we should be too. I thought the suites/balcony look smaller on that level. Any idea on the size difference for those? Others are looking at Category G anyone have this? Thanks so much! Christy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzw Posted April 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Christy, we are going on the same sailing and wanted to switch to a mini as well. Do some of the minis have an obstructed view? Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clandt Posted April 12, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Sorry Suzanne my post is confusing. My husband and I are taking the mini-suite and I don't believe their views are obstructed. Our family and friends who wanted inside cabins (but all are booked) are looking at taking the obstructed views on Emerald. I thought the balcony looked smaller on the Emerald.

suzw Posted April 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Oh I see, Did you take an AC or AD? I am waiting to see which one we get. Is it your understanding that they are all the same size (mini) just different locations? You are the first person I found on 7/10 sailing! We are travelling with 16 people, all family.

clandt Posted April 12, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted April 12, 2004 We are trying to decide between the AC and AD. They may be the same size inside, I just want to know if the balcony is the same. There will be about 10 of us (maybe more) going to celebrate my husbands 40th Birthday! Are you going for a family reunion? Christy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzw Posted April 12, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2004 yes, a family reunion. 16 of us, My 19 month old will be with us, I think the mini will be much needed for the extra room. I was told we are on a waiting list for a mini, but I should be able to get one? Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clandt Posted April 12, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Waiting list? Why would you need to be on a list? We are just booking our cruise today and had plenty of mini suites to pick from! With 3 of you -- I think a mini would be best! We got it as we figure it would be a gathering place for everyone to meet. Plus my husband really wanted one!

clandt Posted April 13, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted April 13, 2004 SuzW I just read your other post with rude comments from people about bringing your 19 month old. We don't have any children ...yet. If we did I would not want to leave them home! No matter what their age I would want to take them!!!! Christy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurBunny Posted April 13, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 13, 2004 All of the mini-suite balconies are the same size, with the exception of the ones farthest aft on both Dolphin and Emerald - those 4 have extended balconies. None of the mini-suite balconies are obstructed Hope that helps! <font face="Imprint MT Shadow" size="5" color="#FFCC00">Amber</font> <font size="4" face="Berlin Sans FB">Cruise Resource BiddingFun and BiddingHELP</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzw Posted April 13, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 13, 2004 thanks Christy, thanks Amber! Christy, I called Princess and they said that there are only 5 AB's avail and 3 AA's. We wanted AC or AD due to cost and they said that they are all booked up? Did you book online? Maybe some of these sites take a block of rooms and then release them as it gets closer? I am unsure Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clandt Posted April 18, 2004 Author #11 Share Posted April 18, 2004 suzanne, What the?? I just called princess today to find out if there was a price drop. We put a deposit on an AE that came up. All they have now are basically AC's and the Princess Rep said and I quote 'There are LOTS of them available'. I figured we would be upgrade to one of them and didn't worry about the price difference. We booked through a local TA that just does cruises -- They got us money back from our honeymoon Carnival cruise -- Long story ... Christy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
