Thanks everyone for your great and helpful info! I decided to book the R747 for the larger balcony and quick access to the terrace pool area. Now trying to convince my sister & brother-in-law to get R746! 

Hi! I am looking to book a balcony room on Emerald Princess for a Pacific Wine Country cruise. I've never cruised on Princess (although we are going on Regal Princess next month), so I would love some advice or tips on selecting a balcony room. Which ones are more desirable or which ones should I avoid? I'm open to any of the decks or location on the ship. Thanks in advance!

Hi there! We will be at Bar Harbor on 10/22 and are wanting to visit Acadia National Park. The bus/trolley tours do not interest us because we are wanting to do a short hike and not just view the park from a bus. We are also wanting to make sure we get to a Welcome Center/Gift Shop to stamp our NP Passport books. The Explorer shuttle seems to be a good option but unsure of how crowded it will be during this time of year. I would love any thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I know we can take a 12 pk per person, but can we open the carton and put the cans in our carry on? Instead of just carrying the actual carton with us. 

I thought the same thing, but with the sign & sail cards also being room keys I think it would cause major issues. I might just have to move them closer to us.

I'm traveling on the Valor in May to celebrate my daughter's graduation. My sister and I will be in one room while my daughter and her 2 friends will be in another. At least, that's how we would like it. Due to her 2 friends being 17 (and also at the time of the cruise), they wouldn't allow me to book it that way. What are the odds that they will allow us to swap this once on board? Has anyone done this before? I've read the website and it says only if they are within 3 rooms of us, which they are not. My daughter cruised Princess last year with her friend and parents and they were able to make a similar change with guest services. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this. Thanks!

Just got back yesterday from the Paradise. Had an absolute blast! That was basically a 4 day cocktail party! Our crazy group of nurses is already looking to book another in September. And I'll be on the Valor on May 23rd!

I'm also getting concerned about this one. We leave tomorrow (10/23) out of Tampa and scheduled to be in Cozumel on Saturday (10/25). My main concern is the rough seas.
