Murphey Posted June 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Do you think this will be desirable??? (I understand this will happen during dry docks in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted June 6, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hmmm - I can't imagine putting out the money for a suite and not getting a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted June 6, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have heard they are near the Casino area, I don't think they would interest me. I wonder if they will end up as upgrade perks as the Family Suite is. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted June 6, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I was re-reading the princess news on this subject and it sounds like they are going to move the casino to the Promenade deck and those suites will be on the Plaza deck. Boy they are changing things all around on that ship. We will see in oct. marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted June 6, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hmmm - I can't imagine putting out the money for a suite and not getting a balcony. I'm with you on that one. I wonder what the price will be like to have a suite with just an oceanview. I have loved the suites that we've had but have to say that I would rather have a mini with a balcony than a suite with just a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphey Posted June 6, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Yep, I think the pricing will be interesting, but I just can't imagine wanting a suite w/o a balcony. Hmmmm, an OV suite with perks or mini w/o perks?? It's kind of like those 4 mini's w/o balconies on the Island/Coral. Does anyone actually book them or are they upgraded to them????

Toto2Kansas Posted June 6, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hmmm - I can't imagine putting out the money for a suite and not getting a balcony. If these are indeed full suites as they say they will be, I am sure they will come with all the full suite perks. Maybe Princess has found there are some out there that don't mind not having a balcony, but they just want the extra space? I know that it would not interest us in the least to book a full suite without a balcony. Maybe a less expensive version of full suites on Princess, minus that great balcony that full suites come with? Guess we will have to wait and see, this could be very interesting.

pungo3 Posted June 6, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 6, 2008 This really seems odd to me. I can't imagine anyone wanting a suite without a balcony. Time will tell. I'll be very interested in how this turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted June 6, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Celebrity M class ships have suites with no balcony, always thought that was just weird!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted June 6, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I've never stayed in a suite, and doubt that I ever would. Lack of a balcony wouldn't phase me a bit - I rarely book balcony cabins, and don't agree that once you have had a balcony, you can't go back. I have, and I did. I've enjoyed balconies, I just don't think they are a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted June 6, 2008 #11 Share Posted June 6, 2008 For the right price, I'd love to have suite, even w/o the balcony. Of course it depends on the itinerary. For a Baltic or transatlantic itinerary in September, I don't need a balcony. Then again, I'm doing just that on the Crown this September and yes, we have a balcony. :) Pia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casshew Posted June 6, 2008 #12 Share Posted June 6, 2008 It reminds me of the old days before the balcony norm found on ships today. Ships I've sailed on only had port holes or picture windows, no balconies to be found at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgoingmom Posted June 6, 2008 #13 Share Posted June 6, 2008 These new suites are listed on the Princess website on the Star October 24th sailing Sydney to LA. They are listed as WS on Plaza and are listed at $6,833 and the next lowest suite is $8,183. Quite a big difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earljr Posted June 6, 2008 #15 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi Sue, Michael, and Murphy Unless the SSA gives me a mega boost in my monthly check it really wont make any difference to me if there are balconies or not. I do wonder if they move the casino -- will it be smaller, bigger, the same? Maybe better odds ?? :) Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayevee44 Posted June 6, 2008 #18 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The Coral Princess and Island Princess each have a few oceanview (no balcony) mini-suites, category AF on Baja and Caribe Decks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryPoppinz Posted June 6, 2008 #19 Share Posted June 6, 2008 There was a time when a suite with no balcony would have been attractive me -- when I had a young child to worry over. Something like the "Celebrity suites" on Celebrity - - with huge panoramic windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgnova Posted June 7, 2008 #20 Share Posted June 7, 2008 That was what James Deering said they would be when he came to the CC meet 'n' greet -- family suites and probably attractive to people with young children. I'm sure the extra space for little ones would be helpful and not worrying about them on a balcony more relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
