Enchanted Princess ME Mini Suites?

[Billabongi]

Hi, haven't cruised in 4 years and trying to figure out some things on an upcoming carribean cruise on the Enchanted.

 

I can not find a single Deluxe Balcony to actually book "only reserve category" so started looking at the ME Mini Suites. The cheapest ones are ME and there's availability in E718/E708 port or E725/E711/E709/E701 but they all look smaller (233 sq ft or smaller vs the mid aft 329 sq ft ones). Where are you losing that sq footage? In the balcony?

 

From some research it sounded like they allow smoking on Deck 7 just below the starboard rooms, is that right? That's probably something I have to avoid as I'm allergic to it.

 

Lastly, I'm stuck between reserving a "deluxe balcony room", reserving one of the smaller ME minisuites (depending on answers above) or doing a guaranteed Mini Suite and hoping for an upgrade. Probably an impossible question there, but any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance, looking forward to getting back into cruising.
