Coral Princess Balcony Cabins

[cruisebie]

I'm looking at a cruise on Coral Princess and I see options for balcony and premium balcony cabins.  Other than a larger balcony, are there any differences in these cabins?  Is there any additional seating in the premium cabin?

It is usually about location. Most cabins are the same layout.

 

This website tells you what balconies are covered etc.

Thanks, Colo Cruiser.  What a great link!  Have you been on the Coral? Any location in particular you would recommend? The cruise is to SA/Antarctica in Dec 2020.  My DD will be with me & she does have problems with motion sickness in rough seas, so I was thinking of a mid ship balcony on the lowest balcony deck.  Thought about an OV on a lower deck but we both want the balcony for the excellent viewing opportunities.

We like balconies in the 700's on Emerald deck. As far back as possible.

There is an aft viewing deck back there. In the photo where the people are standing.

We go as far aft as well but normally on a higher deck as it doesn't bother us. We're doing that same cruise this December and chose B725. Guessing the lower level may be better to suit your needs.

Very nice! That would be a great place to take in the scenery in Antarctica.  Thanks for your help.

Sounds like the aft balconies are popular!  Easy to see why with those nice viewing areas available.   I'm so excited to do this cruise! I hope you'll post your thoughts when you get back.

Forgot to add we have sailed the Coral more than 10 times.

She is one of my favorites.

I enjoyed my standard balcony stateroom on Deck 6 on Coral Princess.  Balcony was nice sized, stateroom was roomy, but, I did miss the now infamous barrel chair.

 

Coral Princess is a really good ship!
