Emerald Princess connecting cabins?

[CRUISINGCPA]

Hoping someone can help me out here. We are looking at the Emerald Princess & were wondering if any of the balcony cabins are adjoining/connecting where there is a door between the rooms that you can open. We are travelling with 2 teens & really like this type of room on Royal Caribbean - we get 2 bathrooms, everyone gets a real bed, & we can keep an eye on the kids. I saw the Family Suites but I am guessing that, like Royal, there is a minimum number of passengers in these.

Any help from you experienced Princess cruisers would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry CRUISINGCPA you will find no adjoining from the inside. You can open the balcony divider if you book side by side rooms. We have done this many times with our teens and it works great.

if you look at the deck plans you can see which rooms are connecting, there is a door drawing of those that have a interior connectiong door.

we have b703 and B705 which are connecting.

Those cabins don't connect on the Emerald, which is what the OP is sailing on. What ship are you talking about? I know the Coral/Island have some connecting cabins but they're on Aloha Deck.

ABQMommy is sailing on the Sapphire; Sapphire and Diamond have a very few connecting rooms.

Thanks for the info. Wineforhealth - are the balcony doors sliders? If so, do you keep them unlocked for easy passage back & forth to the cabins? Also, how easy is it to open the balcony divider? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but we are new to Princess. Any other location tips?

Just ask your cabin steward to open the door in the divider. It'll be open for the entire cruise. The whole divider doesn't open, just a door in the divider (see below.) The balcony doors are sliding and when you turn the handle down, it locks the door in place. Easy to open, easy to keep open.

Got it, thanks. Is the balcony in your picture entirely covered? Is that common? I have so much to learn here I feel like a newbie!

The ships that have adjoining cabins albeit very few are:

 

Sapphire

Diamond

Island

Coral

 

and I think the smaller ships may have some too.

Do you think this set up works with youngsters kids? 6, 6 and 12
