Cabin size question

[1965]

We are booked in cabin R207 on the Enchanted, our 1st sideways cabin. The cabin info in the booking process says the size is 166-175 square feet. If I look at the cabin by pulling up the deck plan it says it's avg. 175 Sq ft. Just wondering if it might actually be 175 sq. ft. That would be nice. Similar question for cabin R507 on the Ruby. Thanks for any info & input. 🙂

they are certainly larger as sideways cabins....and they seem quite big. Have had them for many days, and book them when we can

Unless you need the upper berths, avoid the sidesways cabins with upper berths.

They are a huge intrusion.

I have heard these are slightly larger as well at 175sq ft.  I booked R233 and R227 on the Enchanted.  My sister and I are both solo travelers and the price was right so they should be perfectly adequate for us!

Looks like our cabin on the Enchanted sleeps 4. We only need 2. I've read that on the new ships the upper berths pull down out of the ceiling so are not in the way like those that fold up against the walls. Any idea how to learn which kind is in our cabin? Thanks.

A friend of mine is on the Enchanted this week. He's in an inside cabin with the berths that jut out from the walls.

Inside cabins that are oriented sideways are our favorite.  While it might not be actually bigger, there is a much better flow and definitely more storage when the closet / bathroom location where it is.

This varies by deck and location.

 

Have a look at this thread:

Our son is booked in an inside on Discovery Princess. It has bunks that stick out from the walls. If you don't need 3 or 4 people in the cabin I would suggest changing your location. It's easy to check by changing the number of passengers to 3 (or 4) when looking at the deck plans.

Hi,  We are booked in R207 for a 20 day cruise in November this year.  We only need space for 2.  I would really appreciate knowing if you stayed in this cabin and your experience. 

Thanks,

It might depend on the particular ship. Not all Princess ships are the same... We have stayed in Caribe Deck balcony cabins on a number of ships. On the Grand Class they have an extra large balcony but on the Royal Class they have dinky little balconies. I don't know if a Riviera Deck cabin would be different from ship to ship but it may be important.

Which ship ?  The deck plans should give you some indication 

[may flower]

Princess Enchanted and the deck plan shows a red dot and that indicates it has can have 3 or 4 in the cabin.

If there are only two of you run. Get a cabin that can't accommodate 4 people. You will have beds on the walls that take up a bunch of space. I will never sail in one of these cabins.

 

 

On the Princess site change the setting from Any to 4 and don't book a cabin that is highlighted.

Sometimes the beds come down from the ceiling. I haven't been able to figure out how to tell if our cabin has them from the ceiling or on the walls. But it looks like the cabins in our section have them in the ceiling. 🤞

Thanks for your help.  My Travel Agent did get us changed to a different cabin without the bunks.  I am not sure R207 had the bunks coming from the ceiling or the walls but we did not want to chance the situation the photo portrayed.
