Pacific Princess

[Blue Skies]

We are thinking of booking a bow cabin ie 7000 or 7001 on the Pacific Princess, and we were wondering if :-

 

1) It is very windy on the balcony.

2) Is it glass, railings or a solid balcony, we like to see through when sitting down!

 

Any other information would be most welcome especialy from someone who has sailed in one.

Haven't been in either of those cabins, but there is a lot of wind across the bow when underway.

 

I much prefer midships. We were in 6051 on Pacific Princess, and it fit our needs/desires very well.

We were thinking the same and usually like the stern cabins on Sapphire (totaly sheltered) but we think the stern on the Pacific will have a lot of vibration not being 'pod' propulusion and so we fancied the opposite!!

thanks for your info.

It would be just like anytime you have gone to the bow on any ship while at sea. If sailing 20 knots into a 15 knot wind you would experience 35 knot winds in your face.... not very comfortable. However, if sailing 20 knots with a 15 knot trailing wind it would be very calm.

None of the ships in the Princess fleet utilize "pods" - they are all propellor and shaft.

Thank you for your info. the side balcony is winning!!
