Island Princess Mini w/no balacony

[rhsjr]

I was looking to book a mini-suite on the Island Princess and they had a Great buy on one, but it had no balcony. Were on the Island is a mini located with no balcony:eek:???

There are four on the Caribe deck, all the way forward. Also four on Baja, all the way forward. They are all category AF.

Now I see them, the rooms look bigger as the room itself takes up the balacony area. Is there a closed (fixed closed) window or what?

[Toto2Kansas]

There are no windows that can be opened. I know there were some pictures posted on her not long ago. If I can find the post, I will give you the link to it. ;)

We had C201 on the Coral for the Panama Canal this past January and loved it. It was the first cabin on the starboard side - extremely quiet - the end of the hall and the door to the deck out front was right there.

Yes you have a huge forward facing public balcony at your disposal right outside your cabin door. ;)

These cabins often go quickly. They are perfect for those with young children who do not want a balcony but want more space.

I had C204 (on the Coral) and loved it! So convenient for the viewing deck forward, and all the extra room was nice. I'm not one who needs a balcony and so I was very happy.

I had one of these rooms last year on the Island Princess (201-far forward starboard side). The seas were rough a couple of nights, and I definitely felt it more in this room than on any other ship I've sailed on (on Carnival, I like to sail as far forward as possible on the lowest guest deck on the ship, though; on Princess, I was midship vertically and roughly 1/3 forward), so be advised of that if you tend to be seasick (I don't, but my suitemate was). There is a large window, but it can't be opened. As has been mentioned, there is a door just forward of these cabins that opens onto a deck that is just below the bridge. My suitemate and I spent a considerable amount of time on this deck, so it was almost as though we had a balcony. I highly recommend this room because of the spaciousness (and bathtub)! Full disclosure: I do not require a balcony though; I know that is a requirement for some, so you may not be happy if you would prefer a balcony attached to your room. I hope this helps.
