Cabin preference on Enchantment

[jshli]

Is there an advantage to either cabin r428 or a428 reserve mini suite on Princess Enchantment? It looks as though the only difference

would be the deck?

We just returned from the Enchanted, but did not have these cabins.

On Rivera deck, you would be below the Seawalk. It has been mentioned on CC that someone walking above can see onto your balcony. Aloha deck is further down. It may not bother you and obviously it doesn't to some, but you ask.

Arguing against that is the problem of elevator wait time. On Rivera deck, you are only two decks away from Lido and may choose to take the stairs. On Aloha. Whether up or down to the Promenade deck 7, you'll likely want the elevator. It becomes an annoyance because almost every time you're left waiting. The doors finally open and the elevator is packed. Really frustrating.

Between the two, I'd take the Rivera deck and avoid the elevator wait time.

Not a whole lot of difference...  in order to really see onto balconies, from the SeaWalk, one would have to really peer down thru the window glass floor.   This isn't the big problem on the first Royal Class ships, where the SeaWalk was more open. 

 

Note that on Marina and Riviera,  the wider Lido deck above will shade the balcony and be a bit of a limit to an open sky view.

 

Mid-ship and Mid-deck are my favorites for convenience and for less motion that higher or more forward locations.    Not a big difference at all, but Aloha would be my pick.  Unless, as mentioned, stairs to the Lido would be a plus for you..  get to the Lido and the Buffet without an elevator being more necessary.

Here is a video, I believe is R428.

Here is a video from a similar cabin. (the forward cabin that is just like the Aft one, on the curve)

This is R414 on the sister-ship Discovery Princess.

There are 2-3 photos at about 1:40 into the video that show looking up at the SeaWalk.
