Kentchikan Posted October 11, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi, We're booked in suite 749 on the Dawn Princess. Has anyone else been in that one? Any pictures? Thanks, Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted October 11, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Here you go - if you are talking about Caribe deck: http://homepage.mac.com/tlassek/alaska2004/PhotoAlbum39.html They are marked by cabin number...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentchikan Posted October 11, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Thanks Coral. You are amazing. I appreciate your sending me the link. It looks good and pretty roomy. Is there a problem with people looking down on you? Do you know which deck is the Caribe on the stern picture? Thanks again. Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again.Kent Now the complicated questions - I would guess the 2nd from the top (but I could be wrong). The third from the top only has aft balconies and I know Caribe has side balconies. Hopefully someone can confirm for sure. If you look at a side image of the ship - the Caribe deck has a smaller opening for their balconies on the side of the ship: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted October 11, 2005 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2005 We had the Capri Suite on the Sun Princess - and it is a beautiful cabin - spoiled me for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suitelover Posted October 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Kent, we had C749 on the DAWN, SUN and SEA. Is there a problem with people looking down on you? The balcony is very intimate. People from above can ony see your head and shoulder when you are standing close to the railing. If you sit down or lay on your deck chair nobody can see you. Do you know which deck is the Caribe on the stern picture? If you look at the aft pic, you see from the bottom up first Promenade deck (with the windows like a mirror), one deck higher is Dolphin, then comes Caribe and then Aloha. Coral, 2nd from the top is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentchikan Posted October 11, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Thanks one and all for the information. I took the ferry from where I live into San Francisco and sailed by the Dawn. It was exciting. My wife and I had lunch at Butterfly, a restaurant on the pier from which you can see the ship. It was fun to watch it while we ate. I met many people on the ferry on the way over that are now on the Dawn. A great idea but we take too much luggage for that. Also met people disembarking and taking the Ferry the other way. The reviews were great except for a too hot, too humid PV. Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiselifers Posted October 11, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2005 It's actually a mini suite and we were in it this year January. We absolutly loved it. We tryed to get it on the Sun for January 06 but it was booked so we booked same C744 same cabin Port side. It's huge. The balcony is huge and very private. The only time that I felt anyone looking was if I stood at the railing and looked up and back a little bit. People would have to be standing at the railing looking down from the aft of the ship and they are not as far out as you. It is wonderful. There are two loungers with a little table between them plus a table and four chairs...all teak. It is the second balcony down. So you are like the middle balcony aft. You will love it. I am not sure if we can ever go to a regular balcony cabin again. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted October 12, 2005 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Just an FYI - I believe the aft minisuites and suites are reversed on the Sun Princess compared to the Dawn and Sea Princess. If someone mentions something on the Dawn, double check and make sure it is accurate on the Sun Princess if it relates to aft cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdjam Posted October 12, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 12, 2005 If you look at the aft pic, you see from the bottom up first Promenade deck (with the windows like a mirror), one deck higher is Dolphin, then comes Caribe and then Aloha. Just a slight correction – it’s Promenade, Dolphin, Caribe and Baja. Aloha deck does not have aft suites or mini suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your first cruise! You will never forget it :) My first cruise was on the Fascination but I consider my first Princess cruise on the Sea Princess as the ship that made me fall in love with cruising. The Sea Princess is a sister of the Dawn. IMO - you may find that you love the size of the Dawn Princess, the more I sail on the larger ships, the more I appreciate and prefer the smaller ships. P.S. - Remember to eat at the pizzeria :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suitelover Posted October 12, 2005 #13 Share Posted October 12, 2005 bdjam, you are right it is Baja :o . Aloha-deck is the deck from where you can look down. C749 is a full Suite on DAWN, SUN and SEA. B-deck suites are different on SUN and DAWN/SEA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiselifers Posted October 12, 2005 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2005 ooops, my mistake I read the number wrong. We were in C747. Sorry about that. It was still great. The balcony info is still good.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
