We had 309 on the Caribbean Princess and loved it. We picked 309 because it was more or less central in the window suites. I would do it again. I agree with the 301 and 303 locations having a smoky smell outside in the hallway. For some reason they seemed to keep the door of the cigar lounge open a lot, and then the door to the hallway near 301 was kept open a lot too.

We took this suite on a British Isles cruise and did not really miss a balcony since the weather was often cool plus we were off the ship so much it didn't matter. I'm sure you,ll like it. Too bad they are only available on a few ships. :)

Sometimes after a TransAtlantic, there is a lot of paperwork to be done by the ship on docking and there could be a delay in disembarking so maybe that is why they say 7 hrs. It takes about 2 hrs on a Princess shuttle to get to London. I was just on a cruise that had done a transatlantic to New York and I was surprised at how late the people were disembarking. I thought that maybe the ship had been late into port but was told it was held up due to all the paperwork involved in the first port of a country.

How about the hop on hop off bus?

I did this on a recent flight to Las Vegas. My daughter had the window, I had the aisle and middle. We had to do seat selection ahead of time to make sure we got all three seats in a row. One of my tickets was booked in my name and the second had my name plus the words extra seat on it. I did it through a travel agent but had no problems. We put the arm rests up and had lots of room. Much more comfortable. However, I was told that on some planes, in some rows, that the arm rests do not fold up, so you may want to check that. I believe that it may be the bulkhead rows. hope this helps. pj

Great pictures, thanks for posting them. We'll be on the May 14 sailing..pj

Thank you so much for doing that. I have booked a Window Suite on an upcoming cruise and your floor plan really helps put the room into perspective.pj:)

Great idea and great job! pj
