gone sailing Posted January 31, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have read some posts about the Caribe vs other decks, but am unsure if all the balconies are half covered or not. We are on the Ruby Princess (first cruise!) originally booked in A604 but are thinking of changing to C510 for 200.00 more. Is this a good decision?

Pam in CA Posted January 31, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have read some posts about the Caribe vs other decks, but am unsure if all the balconies are half covered or not.

The Caribe balcony is 2x as big and is half-covered/half-uncovered. It's much more private if you're under the covered area. Even though the Aloha balconies are covered, they aren't private and aren't deep enough to protect you from sun or weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomelessBear Posted January 31, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'd go for the much bigger caribe deck balcony. being on caribe, you also have a deck of cabins above so are probably less likely to have the possibility of noise from the deck above. I don't know what would be above the aloha cabin your mention though so it may not be a potential problem. caribe deck balcony every time with the best of both worlds - sun and shade.

highflyingrealtor Posted January 31, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Once you've had a Caribe balcony, I'm thinking you won't go back to a "standard" balcony on another deck. Best of both worlds (1/2 & 1/2), more real estate and with your new assignment - you're more midship for convenience. Win win & enjoy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted January 31, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2011 From the Caribe deck cabins on many of the Princess ships, you can look down on the minisuites and see that you have a larger balcony than they do.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
