Ruby Princess - C601

[FraserK]

Hi

 

Has anyone got any views on C601? Is it partial covered and a decent size?

 

Many thanks

Regular size cabin but deeper balcony. I enjoyed the extra balcony space but, looking up is disconcerting. All the rooms above have a great view of the uncovered portion. I wouldn't do it again.

Caribe deck has large balconies. About 9ft x 9ft they are half covered. We love these cabins.

Any recommendations for cabin numbers?

[jackieo]

We usually go for cabins aft of the last set of lifts. As there is very little footfall. So very quiet. No issues with lift noise. So C710/C709 and back is where we usually book. So close to the lifts. So down to deck 7 in the evening and up to the buffet in the morning. These lifts are not as busy as the mid lifts.

 

These cabins are also BD balconies so cheaper than C601 you were looking at.

IMO... you can’t go wrong with a Caribe deck balcony. We pick in the 700’s. If you can get C752/753 grab them in a heartbeat.

Interior is a standard balcony layout, like all balcony cat. cabins on the ship. Nice cabin, nice location, 9' x 9' balcony 5' of which is covered. Cover or not cover it's your choice. Suggest you look at cabins starting from C619/C618 aft. These are identical cabins to C601, but will cost a little less.

C752 is available. What are the benefits of this cabin please? Only been on one other cruise, so sorry for the questions! Is the aft cabins more prone to movement (sea sickness?)

 

Thanks

C752 is the best cabin ever! It’s aft facing it has its own little corridor no footfall at all. The wake view is awesome. The whole balcony is covered. We had a balcony dinner on ours when we did our Hawaii cruise - awesome.

Huge Balcony

Lovely balcony! Does it get any sun as it is covered?

[jackieo]

When we did the Hawaii trip out of LA we had sun in the morning on the way out and in the afternoon on the way back.

Excellent choice!

We have stayed in that cabin twice. The first time on the Ruby inaugural.

Its a corner aft with a great balcony at the end of a quiet corridor.

They are highly coveted cabins!

Mark your booking "no upgrade"!!!!!

Yes read that and have done that

Question about the cabins themselves. The further back on Deck 10 are categoried as just balcony cabins(BD). C601 and surrounding are labelled premium balcony cabins (B2). Now I was told and seen and given the impression that the only difference between these two, besides location, is that the preimum balcony has a small love seat sofa in it. That the regular balcony cabins don't. I booked the premium for the loveseat. People are saying there are no differences between a C600+ cabin, and a C700+ cabin? Can anyone clarify?

My understanding is that on the. ‘Grand class’ ships only the mini suites and suites have a sofa. So premium balconies relate to their location NOT additional seating. Now on the royal and regal. Premium balconies have a small 2 seater sofa.

Premium refers to location. You can have premium balcony, premium deluxe balcony and so on. It's strictly location

Deluxe balcony is the category that has a small loveseat, and is only on Royal class ships. Grand class, Sea/Sun, etc do not have deluxe balcony category. All balcony category cabins are the same/similar interior layout - bed, desk and chair, and barrel chair.

On Grand Class ships........

As stated no sofas in regular balcony cabins and premium refers to location.

Only found in minis and above.

Anyone know what B753 aft cabin on the Ruby is like? Larger balcony? The famous beam in the middle of the balcony?
