socialworker Posted September 26, 2012 #626 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Once again I use this post as my guide for selecting a cabin. You'd think I'd have kept track of which cabins are best especially since I'm going on the same ship for the third time. But...no...I have to keep coming back, just in case Princess changes the cabin configurations :o Thanks for keeping the site visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can take a picture for the website. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo I have submitted photos to the website and I will continue to do so although most of the cabins I choose are already posted. Now, I print out the photos and keep them in my Princess file. I made the mistake this time when I was booking, I simply looked at the wrong ship. But fortunately it looks as though there are still several choice oov cabins left. This is a wonderful resource.

Sea and Me Posted September 28, 2012 #630 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Theo: This may sound crazy but I love searching for a cruise. When I see something that I'm interested in I check out your post (its in my favorites) and look at the pictures of the cabins. I find it very helpful. We are thinking of the Grand for 4/14 to celebrate our 50th (can't believe he still puts up with me:D) and I started to check out cabins. However, maybe he'll spring for a balcony;) Thanks again Theo your doing a great job! Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcruzer Posted September 28, 2012 #631 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Cabin is above Club Fusion, will we hear a lot of noise at night? Anyone have experience with these cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBill Posted September 28, 2012 #632 Share Posted September 28, 2012 In March, we had L104 on the Ruby. When I was booking our cruise on Ruby for next April, L104 wasn't available. I went straight to Theo's website to review the views from the available cabins and got E423 with a pretty nice view. Thanks, Theo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't have any of that showing when you leave shore. 411-412-414-415-416 & 417 all have about the same view. Enjoy your (un)obstructed cabin, it is one of the better ones on the Emerald deck.

Renmar Posted September 29, 2012 Author #636 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I should have said. E323. Even better, E323 is the one that looks over top of the "Zodiac" type boat. I think you will have more of an unobstructed view than E423. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted September 29, 2012 Author #637 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Cabin is above Club Fusion, will we hear a lot of noise at night? Anyone have experience with these cabins? What's your cabin #. If you are right above the stage, in the early evening you might but later (like late,late) probably not.

Theo Thanks for compiling all the photos. Was upgraded so didn't have a choice other than stay inside. On rechecking deck plan, I see our cabin is over rest room outside of Club Fusion so don't think we'll have a noise problem. Even tho the window is in front of small boat, according to your picture we'll be able to see right thru it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted October 4, 2012 Author #639 Share Posted October 4, 2012 This is a request to all cruisers who have booked, or are planning to book, obstructed view cabins. I’m still looking for pictures of the following cabins; Caribbean Princess: E222-E223-E224-E225-E226-E227-E307 & E308 Coral/Island Princess: E316-E317-E318-E319-E324-E325-E326-E327-E328- E329-E330-E331-E334-E335 E503-E504-E505-E506-E509-E510-E520-E521-E522-E523-E524-E525 E605-E606-E607-E608-E614-E615-E616-E617-E622-E623 Surprisingly there are very few pictures out there for those 2 ships. Dawn/Sea/Sun Princess: D328-D331-D332-D337-D603-D604-D609-D610-D616-D618-D619-D620-D621-D623 These 3 ships are, as far as I know, sailing mainly out of Australia. Diamond/Sapphire Princess: E624-E625 Golden/Grand/Star Princess: E303-E304-E422-E423 Ocean/Pacific Princess: 6036-6037-6039-6041-6045-6047 Please send me any picture you have of one of those cabins that show the obstruction FROM those cabins. Much appreciated. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted October 10, 2012 Author #640 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Too bad, no replies so far. There must be people out there cruising right now or going within the next few weeks. I really could use some help. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted October 10, 2012 #641 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Theo, what about posting on a few upcoming roll calls for those ships? You might get someone who'd be willing to stroll down and grab a photo on disembarkation day, even if they're not staying in the exact cabins. Can't hurt to try. . .

Bowie MeMe Posted October 10, 2012 #642 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I don't see it as a negative post and I think that it is merely mend as a tong in cheek comment.Bowie Me Me has been a big help by keeping this tread close to the top. This post also reminded me that I should thank all the people that contributed to my website by sending me pictures. Consider it done, thank you all. Theo It was not negative in the least. I love the site, use the site, send photos for the site and in general act like a cheerleader. My point was that Princess does not particularly care to educate their cruisers to the fact that great cabins can be had at a very modest price if you study the photos placed here and chose wisely using others photos and experiences. I lucked into my first OOV because I didn't think a late October Canadian cruise would make the balcony worth the cost. Cold and rainy were possible and except for one day it was pretty much cold and rainy that trip. My other point is that in the category of obstructed ocean view all cabins are not equal. Very much next to each other are views through a window (can identify some things out that window but not much) NO view (side of the tender or sometimes called the Big Orange View) or those gems that have very little obstruction (my favorite was the only obstruction on port days only was a round radar head) otherwise clear view no obstruction. The fact is all the above cabins cost the same amount! Price is based on deck and distance from midship. My great fear is that they take this information and charge more for those cabins with the least obstruction. If a customer knows that cabin 1 has almost no obstruction, cabin 2 has a little obstruction and cabin 3 has a big orange wall, would they be happy with cabin 3 for the same amount as cabin 1. As long as they don't know or realize there is a difference it is a great thing for those of us penny pinchers who score excellent cabins. Good thing there are all kinds. Renmar Love ya baby. Saying adios for a 30 day trip to Asia beginning Sat. that includes 12 days before cruise in Beijing, Xian and Bangkok and 16 day cruise on Diamond Princess in E410 which I will be sure to take a picture of for this board.

The way they gather everyone into the lounges and really "insist" that you clear the rooms and the hallways on changeover day it really isn't easy to get into the rooms you need and take photos. Often in port it is hard to tell what is ship obstruction and what is building etc on shore. Can't hurt to ask but most cabins have balconies and folks who would not sail without that part of the cabin. Just a little group of OOV lovers.

I tried this before, I think it was on the Caribbean Princess roll call, got 1picture (better than 0). I'll try it again especialy for the Coral & Island Princess.

When we were on the Sapphire last fall my DW and I did run down the halls and took pictures of every cabin except 2. We did clear it first with the frontdesk. Most of the cabin stewards were very helpfull. Have a nice cruise. Looking forward to some pictures. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
