Hopefully the ultimate Aft thread with Pictures (vent, and beams)

[bjkTX]

I'm so excited! We booked our first ever aft cabin C753 on the Star for our first Alaskan cruise next year! We have marked it as do not upgrade. I've read so many great things about these cabins, I can't wait to experience it for ourselves!

 

You'll love it - enjoy!

Im in B747 on my upcoming trip on the sapphire. Its the furthest aft without really being aft (its the last standard room) the balcony looks slightly larger than the other rooms in the picture.... Anyone familiar/ Also, Anyone know what the thing is next to my room? Im hoping its stairs to the pool but never been on Princess.

Thanks

The balcony is a little larger and juts out some; also, as you can see, it faces forward (I found this photo of the portside -- same for your side, though -- http://therealtopten.blogspot.com/2010/05/something-like-sapphire-princess.html). To help you get situated as you look at the photo: the deck right above the lifeboats is Dolphin, above that is Caribe, and then Baja. Your balcony is the opening that appears to be cut out of the hull.

 

The thing next to your room is a stairwell, but it's for emergency/crew use only -- you'll use it during muster drill but after that, you'll have to go forward to the lift/stairs to get up to the pool. Hope this helps.

sweet.

A little extra and next door thats not a closet (we had one cruise we were next to a closet and the cabin stewards rolly carts would roll around and bang the walls at night. not cool) an anchor (holy crap those are loud - no need for your wake up call!) or under a stage where they play until 2 am and warm up / sound check during the day(band cruise) or across from the laundry room

Can you tell we have really bad luck with rooms! The one thing we havent been is under the pool which i hear is rough when they move the chairs to clean the deck.

This looks good... All though reading this im jealous of all the real aft rooms without the wind!!!! Next time!!!

Does anyone know if OS A753 on Caribbean princess has the A/C vent?

[calliecat]

We recently did a 16 day TA from FLL to Copenhagen and had 5 sea days in a row. We were on the Emerald Princess in E734. The "wake" noise is loud but tolerable. We did not have a neighbor on the left due to the make-up of the ship and there was a suite on the right of us. The deck is larger than other balconies which was nice and it is totally covered. We had 4 chairs and a table with plenty of room.

 

However....we were directly above Club Fusion. I had read before booking this cabin that there wasn't much noise. That was correct for many of the nights but on three nights when the band "Evolution" was playing, the bass came thru the floor because they were set up just under our room and all we heard was "boom boom boom".

 

I don't believe I will book this room again just because of the possibility of a band playing in the lounge. It was only for 4 or 5 hours those three nights, so if you're one to go to the casino, shows, etc....it wouldn't affect you. The rest of the day, it was a wonderful room.

 

I did complain about the noise several times. I just wanted them to turn the bass down a notch since it was annoying. To be fair to Princess, they ended up compensating me for 3 nights. I didn't ask for it and was totally surprised. I felt that this room should have had a disclaimer as do the partially obstructed rooms saying that there might be noise from the lounge below at times.

That said, I still won't book this room again.

They are on the sapphire vista suite thread. I posted on it yesterday, so you should see my name on it to help you find it. Grams98

Think the OP may have deleted them or changed them in Photobucket.

This will cause the link to the photos to be broken. :(

We use photobucket and had the smae thing happen.

[nancycoop1]

Hi - does anyone have any info or pictures of this suite? We will be sailing in about 2 weeks and there is still time to change if this isn't a good one. Thanks Much

Does anyone have pictures of the Emerald balconies C-750 or C-751 ?

[GlacierMD]

Does anyone have pictures of the Emerald balconies C-750 or C-751 ?

You know 2Little come to think of it I have never seen pictures of those balconies either. The links in this thread don't seem to work any more.

I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of the cabins B754, 756 or 757 BB cat on the Caribbean Princess (Baja level)? I've looked on other threads and I was wondering if anyone had any pictures or comments about these cabins. I contacted Princess today and asked them if there was a beam in these cabins and she stated no. I know people have had comments about vents but does anyone have anything on these rooms. I'm also not sure what the gap is between B757 and B756. I appreciate everything!

Post 25 on this thread has a photo of the aft of the CB.

You can see the vent between B756 an B757. No beam in those cabins or B753 and B754.

I hope the OP will put the pics back up. Some of mine disappeared when I was doing a recent review after I had too many views- Photobucket made me pay to become a "professional" in order to restore the pics to the forum.

Re:Picture of the aft section of the Caribbean Princess.

 

I looked at this thread earlier and I could not get the picture to come up. Now I can see it and it really helped. The question I have for the cabin with B754 is (does it have the beam in that cabin or is it the one next door. The picture is not clear on that.

 

I was also wondering if anyone had a picture of the inside of the cabins? Are the cabins on the aft smaller than the other balcony's?

 

I really do thank you for the great picture. :D

 

Hope this helps

Is there much noise from the vents on the aft balconies?

Is there much noise from the vents on the aft balconies?

 

I've never been bothered! We have had 3 aft cabins and they still continue to be our first choice! Just, sometimes hard to get. Enjoy your trip!

[moorerf]

we have booked B 752 for a thanksgiving cruise on the Caribbean Princess.

we have tried to get aft before and finally got one this cruise. it appears the beam is off to one side on this cabin..correct??? also are these balconies larger than side ones? finally was thinking of doing ultimate balcony dinner one night, are these aft cabins good for that???

[Hank1468]

Does anyone have pictures of the B757 balcony on the Emerald? Or on the Crown or Ruby would work too. Also, what are the dimensions of the balcony? Thanks!

[nancycoop1]

We had our first aft balcony cabin on our last cruise and loved it!! Wonderful to sit on the balcony when you are sailing out of a port Of course, we got upgraded to a suite, so there just wasn't anything not to love.

[kms8066]

I don't know why, but I can't open these photos :( Any suggestions? I was hoping to see where room A731 on Emerald is located . . .

 

Any help is appreciated!

Some of the links are very old and the photos may have been taken down.

Hi - does any one have pictures of the aft cabins on the Grand?

[canuckgardener]

We just had C753 on the Caribbean. The balcony was amazing! We loved the full range view, and the aft balcony was quite a bit deeper and wider. 4 people on this balcony fit quite well with room to spare for sure. We did peak around the corner to see the balcony next door and it was quite a bit longer but it was also a suite cabin. This would be a great set up for families to be side by side with the adjoining balconies.
