Kosh III Posted December 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2019 We've never been on Princess but considering it due to a great sale. Enchanted Princess, still being built. We spend much time on the balcony. We have found that Carnival balconies at 35sqft are cramped for us, not enough room to stretch our legs out completely forward. We have been for the past 5 cruises on Celebrity or Royal in the large "hump" balcony. Anyone know how newer Princess balconies compare? Category BB or BC.

Thanks The Royal Class ships regular balcony cabins balconies are the smallest at about 40 sq ft so bring knee pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suncitycruiser1925 Posted December 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 20, 2019 We were just on the Sky Princess, Baja deck (deck 11) with a balcony. The balcony is the same size as the Regal. They are big enough for two chairs without footrests and a small round table. I did notice the balconies beneath us were deeper and did have footrests, but no overhang. If you travel with family/friends the cabin steward can take down the balcony divider, so you have one longer balcony to share with your next door neighbor. Not sure if that applies to all cabins/balconies, but it did for ours and our friend's in the cabin next door which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted December 20, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yes the Royal Class balconies are much smaller balconies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dive Girl Posted December 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2019 On the Royal Class ships, are all the balconies covered? (I'm guessing the aft ones are not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Raider Posted December 21, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Some of the ones midship are a lot larger ... you can tell from the deck plans as they jut out in a peak. They have enough room to spread out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRabbit Posted December 21, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Look at cabins C409's and C410's balconies. The balcony design for these cabins is repeated several times on each deck and provide a bit more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 5:00_Somewhere Posted December 27, 2019 #12 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) As others have said, the vast majority of cabins on the Royal Class ships are tiny. However, the Majestic, Sky and Enchanted were redesigned so that some Deluxe Balcony cabins on Dolphin deck have very large balconies. We were just in one of these cabins in the Sky Princess and loved it. Here is a recent post I made about it in another thread, with a link to an additional post I made about the cabin (with pictures) in the "cabin review" thread. Click where is says "5:00_Somewhere replied to a topic" and it will take you right to my post. I hope this helps: Edited December 27, 2019 by 5:00_Somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
