Jessie2013 Posted January 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I'm new to Princess & looking to book a connecting Aft cabin, specifically for an Alaskan cruise. Do the suites (say, E732 on the Emerald) connect to E734? More specifically, do the balconies open up to eachother? Is considered a "wrap around aft" for Princess? I'm looking for 2 rooms, as "wrap around" as possible, aft. Any other rooms I should be looking at? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudd Posted January 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2022 When looking at the deck plans on Princess.com, you can click a checkbox to only see connecting cabins. That will let you know which ones are connecting. I can't see any aft cabins that are connecting on Emerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john watson Posted January 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) I think you just need to get steward to open the balcony partition. Regards John Edited January 21, 2022 by john watson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted January 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I just watched this on Youtube. It looks like the two balconies can have a door opened between the two but not fully open. I could not find connecting rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "not fully open", you can walk through it and usually they may be pinned back in the open position. You were not thinking the steward would dismantle the entire partition were you? There is also a fire safety element to balconies since the Star Princess balcony fire incident. Since then sprinklers have been added to balconies, fire retardant furniture and a smoking ban.

Regards John I am not the OP. I was explaining to the OP that there is a DOOR that you can go through, but NOT remove the entire wall! And of course, I was not implying to the OP that they could remove the wall. I think the OP wanted full access between the cabins which is why I said "not fully open".

The original ambiguity was set up in my own post #4 where I say "open the balcony partition", whereas I should have said "open the door in the balcony partition". Thus making it clear that only the door get opened. Regards John Edited January 21, 2022 by john watson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Shelly97060 Posted January 22, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2022 If you are looking for cabins that have an inside door between them - like regular hotel adjoining rooms, yes there are some cabins available that have that feature. Your TA or Princess should be able to tell you which balcony cabins are connecting cabins with the interior door. Or if you do mock bookings it will tell you if one cabin connects with another. as others have said if you don’t need the interior door you can ask your Steward to open the small divider partition between the balconies so you can pass between the balcony cabins.

Basilon Posted October 10, 2023 #13 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Anyone got experience of connecting cabins on Caribbean Princess? Just booked two connecting cabins and wondering how the connecting door operates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite often where cabins interconnect with a doorway within the cabin your door has a lock which you can unlock then when you open the door towards you you see a second identical door which you can open if it is unlocked. In this way access is only available where both parties have their door unlocked. Regards John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 10, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 10, 2023 There is a big difference if you are: 1. Looking for balcony partitions to be opened verses 2. Cabins have connecting doors between the cabin walls. Also, I do believe the aft suites do not have interior connecting doors AND the entry doors are on the starboard (for one) and port (for the other). No way to go down one passage way to enter both/either suites. I could be wrong. Referencing only Grand/GEM class ships. But still could be wrong. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
