@Maycruser Here is a annotated photo of the ship.  I've circled 14643 which is on the opposite side of the ship from 14642.  I would venture to say that your main view will be out to the side of the ship.  You may get some aft view, but only if you stand right at the rail and look aft.  

@cruisedoctor Thank you for the photo, I believe the cabin is better suited out of the two. We are just wondering about the foot traffic with the lift next door. We will keep the cabin and check for upgrade options later. We were upgraded to a mini-suite on the Enchanted last month. Thank you!

Mayacruzer,  by all photos and images, I do not see any 'obstruction' there.

That first cabin you mentioned has that extended balcony right next to it.  Not only obstructed, but a privacy issue as well.

Just notice that these aft balconies are very small.... The deck plans are pretty much correct... and having that corner cropped off, gives you an aft view, but smaller than the already small balconies on Princess.

Agree 100% we noticed the privacy issue not mention not enough light coming through...for now we will keep the latter and check for upgrade options closer to the sailing. We are questioning foot traffic as well since its right next to a lift..Thank you!

That is a good question about the Aft cabins!

The deck plans on the Princess website do not show a lot of detail.  But the only true Aft balconies seem to be Handicap Accessable.   There are two regular (now deluxe) balconies, one on each side of the back of the ship with angled balconies that would have some Aft view.  

It looks like even the Suites, on the upper decks, are only on each side.  Looks like an aft view off the side of the balcony, as the balconies face more to the side.

I just booked and we are in the 14642, I'm not sure what the views will be like..

Looking to sail in 2025 and we are reserved in 14642, any thoughts? The one prior was 14601 and we felt view may be obstucted by the neighboring balcony on the right

From what I've read, you don't need a tour to visit the park. If you want to take the train, just grab a taxi at the port to take you to the station. As I understand it, you can get off the train in the park and catch a later return train after visiting the park. I think you just need to book both legs as a RT initially so that you're certain to have a seat for the return.

 

We're on a March cruise and decided to rent a car and drive to the park. That way, we can walk the trails and not be limited to just the area around the train station. There is an Alamo Rent A Car within a few blocks of the port.

Hi There!

We are planning to rent a car as well, but I cannot find information on stops we can make inside park and take short hikes? Is that possible? Would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks
