ddaj Posted April 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2005 It's going to be our first cruise (honeymoon) and we have no clue what's the difference between a cabin BA, BB or BC. We're looking for one with a balcony. Any recommendations or any deck or cabin we should avoid. Thanks!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer333 Posted April 15, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I have always booked a catagory BC because of the price... I have always had a wonderful balcony, wonderful view! I personally don't think you can go wrong with any of those catagories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyGuy1010 Posted April 15, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2005 No meaningful difference in layout. Location determined the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sunluva7 Posted April 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2005 What ship? :confused: If you mean the Caribbean Princess or one of the other big ones, keep in mind that if you want a larger balcony, Categories BA and BB on Caribe deck are the way to go. The balconies on Caribe are larger and half covered. The balconies on Aloha and Baha are smaller and totally covered. The balconies in the mini-suites on Dolphin deck are totally exposed.

emporess Posted April 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2005 How about the two BB cabins on the aft of the dolphin deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingfreak Posted April 16, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Book a BB Aft cabin on the Caribe Deck. Much larger balcony & it's on a corner. All covered & loads of privacy. You'll love it. Minette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynwar Posted April 16, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2005 We booked a BD/balcony-guaranteed. Just got upgraded to a BC/ balcony. It's in midships by the observation elevators. The previous poster is right, I think-no difference in layout-we checked- but we must have been moved forward of a possible set cabin. If you're on your honeymoon. you'll want the aft with the privacy. I've been in one aft on HAL and I liked it back there. However, it's a long walk to the front of the ship. Enjoy yourself!!

Minette Ditto................you will be very spoiled after a BB aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaj Posted April 17, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Today we finally booked our cruise, Caribbean Princess July 9.:D I just found out that our cabin, a BC cabin at the back of the ship in the Riviera deck, is very close from the Terrace pool, is that a very loud and busy area? should we try to get a different cabin:confused: Thanks!!!!

Suncat Posted April 17, 2005 #10 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'd stay with what you have, unless they upgrade you again. We booked our first cruise on the Carribean Princess last July and ended up with a beautiful BB Aft cabin on Baja. One of the corner cabins with a very large covered deck. Happy Honeymoon!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emporess Posted April 17, 2005 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Suncat~ Do you remember your cabin number? Also, I couldn't get a BB aft balcony on the sailing so I chose 734 on the dolphin deck. Isn't it large and covered as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophotogirl Posted April 17, 2005 #12 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'm spoiled now that I've been in BB aft (D735) on the Caribbean Princess in Ovt/Nov! :D Of course my BB cabin (C707) that I had in Sept on the Caribe deck (on the CB) was nice also.

ddaj Posted April 18, 2005 Author #14 Share Posted April 18, 2005 what about Baja 752, is that a good location, is the balcony covered??? http://www.princess.com/ships/cb/room/B752.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe2ship Posted April 18, 2005 #15 Share Posted April 18, 2005 what about Baja 752, is that a good location, is the balcony covered???http://www.princess.com/ships/cb/room/B752.html Location is great and balcony is covered......but B752 along with B750, B751 and B753 have a beam on the balcony where some people find annoying and tough to move around more freely (i.e lounge chairs). So it depends if you think this will bother you, try to choose another BB aft on Baja deck........those are clear from any beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's covered. It should be the same size as the other BB's!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
