nini Posted July 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2016 We are contemplating a Caribbean cruise on the Regal and we are dedicated Aft fans. I have noticed the many different sizes of balconies on the Princess web site for the Regal's deck plans. Some of the aft balconies look bigger than others ( we will not be booking a corner suite). Can anyone comment? From what I have gathered from other comments, some balconies are 4 feet deep in varying area and some of the Aft balconies look just as small. Do not want to book and then be disappointed. We have been on the Golden and Crown and are used to those. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted July 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Aft balconies on the Regal and Royal are significantly different from the Grand class ships. Marina and Riviera deck aft balconies are fully uncovered and approximately 9'x9'. Marina deck balconies are fully visible at the railing of the Horizon Terrace above. There is a space between the middle two cabins that adds about another 2' to the width of those two balconies. Aloha, Caribe and Emerald deck balconies are fully uncovered and approximately 9'x5'. Baja and Dolphin deck balconies are essentially the same as Caribe deck balconies on Grand class ship, slightly more than half covered and approximately 9'x9'. I believe that the middle two cabins on Aloha and Baja deck also have the additional space as the Marina and Riviera deck. There is also the "dreaded soot problem". Don't know how much of a problem it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiBreeze Posted July 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2016 We had D729 & D731 on our last Regal cruise. Huge covered balconys. No soot issues. Loved them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiBreeze Posted July 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thank you so much for the quick replies! Hopefully you enjoyed the Regal!? We love the Regal. Going back onboard in October! The buffet can't be beat. We like it better than the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATGUY7 Posted July 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2016 We were in a Premium Deluxe Balcony (B736, if I remember correctly), and loved it. No soot at all. Very large balcony. We usually choose mini-suites, but I would stay there again just for the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read so much about the unusable aft balconies on the Royal. So, it sounds like Princess fixed that on the Regal? With your comment, our friends and we booked D728 and D729. It is heartbreaking to read Royal aft comments as they say they can not be used and ask for OBC. That would be such a waste of money and disappointment.
