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

[Travel-Jen]

Any pics of C753 category BB on the Sapphire Princess? We are sailing this cabin in June to Alaska. We grabbed it, after having a minisuite. Although we will have a smaller room, we thought the view was an excellent trade off.

 

I hope...;)

 

But anyway, any pics?

 

Thanks, this is an awesome thread!

Crown

CAT BB

Room 751

With the so called dreaded beam in the middle.

It is not that bad and if you are looking for an aft BA and that is the last one there. I would take it again.

Thanks so very much. We have B756 on the Crown 9/5/10 doing a ta and I am thrilled with our room thanks to this thread.

Excellent pictures! Thanks so much!

[Cathys Cruising]

Thank you to the OP for this thread! Very informative. :D

We've booked D737 on the Golden for our 14 day trip to Hawaii! From what I can tell it looks similar to the OS balcony we had on the Crown a few years ago. There was a beam, but easy to work around.

Thanks again!

Just putting in my two cents for having this one of the permanent links in the sticky section!!

[TomCruises]

Thanks flvol77! There is alot of misinformation out there regarding these aft cabins on the Princess ships. You have brought much desired clarification to all with these wonderful photographs which tell all!:)

Really GREAT effort on providing these pics!

One would think that Princess, who is trying to sell these cabins, and pays for a Web site, could do the same. Or, at least have pics of different cabins available to CSRs so they could advise. Once again, CC members take the lead!

At present we have booked E733 but...D737 has just become available.

Does anyone know pros/cons on either of these cabins?

I have A749 booked on a steal of a deal for Alaska next month. Another option is an Emerald deck mini. My concern with the Aloha baalcony room is that it looks like the balcony is very small. Does anyone have any experience with this room?

 

Thanks,

Greg

Know that you are a financial advisor I can appreciate how much you need this cruise.

 

Having just got off the Grand a couple of weeks ago, I thought you could use this photo of sunrise from C753. It should give you something to look forward to.

Thanks so much!!! We are sailing on the Ruby Princess to the Carribean in January. We have C753? Anyone have any thoughts about our choice? Any pics? Thanks again OP for all your work on this thread. Maggie AKA Donder1

What we enjoyed about C753 on the Grand was the privacy as well as the terrific view over the wake.

 

With our own private corridor and neighbours on only one side it really was a great choice. The balcony was not as large as we expected but with the extra depth it was easier to find a spot in the sun or the shade as we wished.

 

We loved it!

Notice one thing - On Caribe Deck I didn't have room to put the 7 in front of every number. Just add a 7 and you will have the cabin number. All Balconies on Caribe deck are a BB balcony.

 

Also if some can't read the numbers, right click and save as to your computer, put it into "my pictures" and when you open it you should be able to enlarge the picture.

 

There are BA balconies in addition to BB balconies on Caribe deck also Penthouse Suites with balconies.

Hey h2so4! (sulfuric acid? I'm guessing there is a story there :) )

 

We're in B753 on the 6/21 Ruby sailing and your pictures and descriptions make me feel a LOT better about this cabin choice. This is our 1st cruise on a large ship. We have a 38' Carver ACMY and love to sit on the rear deck and watch and listen to the wake. The Ruby should be a bit quieter than two 454 cubic inch engines!

 

Thanks again to everyone for all their hard work on this thread.

Jo Jo, the C753 room steward, will take great care of you. If you leave your nightgown lying around it will be displayed like this when you return to your cabin at night. :p You will notice beside the nightie the breakfast order form along with your chocolates.

 

Keep in mind that although they only list cold items on the breakfast order form you can write in bacon and eggs, french toast, etc and you will get it! (I was so grateful to someone else on CC for telling me that)

 

You have so much to look forward to!

I have noticed numerous threads about the Aft of the Grand Class ships; I was bored and wanted to put together a reference guide for the Crown, Emerald and Ruby Ships. Feel free to add to it. I am visual person so I hope this helps all out there that are looking to book an aft balcony of some kind

 

Pictured below is the Crown Princess

 

 

I do not think this is the Crown. The Crown has a Riviera deck, and there is not one shown here. I believe this is the Grand.

Hi! We are in your cabin in March of 2010. Please take pics of the balcony for me...I am concerned about the beam that I believe may be on this balcony. I took one of the last aft/fantail balconies, but was not aware of the beam until I looked at a few pictures. Let me know what you find out!
