Dreams42Day Posted September 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2021 So I just learned that the mini suites on the Dolphin Deck of the Ruby Princess do not have covered balconies 😞😞😞 is this true? I’m very disappointed as we are going to Alaska and I imagine that a covered balcony would be much nicer than an uncovered balcony due to weather/rain. Please- anyone who has had one of these mini suites- ease my mind…..!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetocruise Posted September 11, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2021 The balconies are very large but they are totally uncovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms4104 Posted September 11, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Take a look at the minis on Emerald deck ... the last 6 or 7 on both starboard and port are fully covered minis ... on port, the last 3 or so are above the bandstand in the lounge below, so those could be loud. Mini E731, last cabin on starboard side, has a fully covered double-sized balcony. Really great! Edited September 11, 2021 by pms4104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted September 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yes Dolphin deck minis have an exposed balcony. The cabins on Caribe have balconies that are half covered and as mentioned by pms4104 Emerald afr minis are fully covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted September 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2021 True. 9ft x 6ft balconies, uncovered. You will be fine. These are very nice cabins, and if you booked one of the 34 mid ship category M1 cabins you will have club class amenities including club class dining. The only mini suites on the Ruby that have covered balconies are the 12 cabins aft on deck 8. Note all of the deck 8 minis on the Ruby are connecting cabins with interior connecting doors.

Mary loves to travel Posted September 11, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2021 One really nice plus to an uncovered balcony is the unobstructed view even from inside the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a mini-suite on the Ruby for our Thanksgiving cruise and when I realized that the balconies are uncovered (except for the ones on Emerald Deck at the aft but those are above the night club) I switched us to an aft-view premium balcony (D734). It's listed as "partially obstructed" but I've seen pics and I'd rather deal with a bit of a beam that have such an exposed balcony. Maybe check to see if any of the aft-view balconies on Baja or Dolphin are available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Ocean Lover Posted September 11, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I just got off the Majestic to Alaska without a covered balcony and I would highly recommend you try to switch to a covered balcony. When the sun was out it was too hot and then it rained the second half of the cruise the balcony was useless. Love a balcony but in Alaska a covered one is a must.
