difference between BA and mini suite?

[gmadvm]

What is the difference size wise between a category BA balcony stateroom and the mini suite on POH? Is it the same size room but with a bathtub instead of just a shower? Just wondering if it is worth the extra money.

On the Jewel (same as POH) a BA is 167 sq. ft. with a balcony of about 38 sq. ft. A mini suite is 231 sq. ft with a balcony of 54 sq. ft. I am not sure about the configuration of the mini's vs. BA, but the mini, on the SUN, had a nice walk-in closet and a seperate dressing area.

I am going to book a mini-suite on POH. It's not that much more and alittle extra elbow room should be nice. My husband and I are going with my 16 and 11 yr olds.

You'll get a bath tub with a mini-suite as well. This may not be a big deal to most, but we travel with our two little girls, and it's a lifesaver.

i just called ncl and spoke to a cruise coordinator about the size difference of the rooms. she told me the BA was 167 sq ft with a 38 sq ft balcony and the AF is 335 sq ft with an 81 ft balcony. can any CCer out there confirm that for me? i'm pretty sure we are going to go for the AF anyway, but i don't want to get my hopes up expecting a larger room. glad to see some more positive reviews about POH. ;)

Try this link to find out the size of any cabin

Just select Pride of Hawaii then type in a specific cabin number. In general you will find that all cabins of a specific category are the same size unless they are handicapped cabins or, possibly, aft facing cabins.

 

Hope this helps.
