-Lew- Posted August 11, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If the deck plan on the Princess web site is accurate, the view is just partially obstructed. Looks as though you'll have a view between the lifeboats. E230 is too far forward for our taste. You'll most likely feel a bit more ship movement in that location than you would at mid-ship or aft. I see there are cabins in the same category more toward the aft end of the ship; you might want to have your TA check for availability. Others who answer may have a differing opinion, but more aft would be my recommendation. Enjoy your cruise... Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted August 11, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Nice location, close to the elevators (which are not a problem noise wise). Also, your obstructed view should be only slightly obstructed as you are between tenders (life boats). Enjoy your first Princess cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillysailor 1955 Posted August 11, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Caribbean Princess to Bermuda & Eastern Caribbean That looks like a good location (sort of midship) near elevators if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted August 11, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2009 That looks like a good location (sort of midship) near elevators if I'm not mistaken. With all due respect, I wouldn't characterize the location of a cabin that's forward of the forward elevators as sort of midship. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew you are correct I was basing their location on the location we had on the Diamond (most forward cabin on port side). I meant its not too far forward or too far back, and it is not so bad being near the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneharborlady Posted August 11, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I need to throw in my two cents. If you are new to cruising, I would agree with Lew, and head to the aft of the ship, rather than forward. Way too much movement for me forward, I am much more comfortable mid ship, or aft.

kendon Posted August 18, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 18, 2009 We were just in that area last week. Even though you may be between lifeboats, the mechanism in that area can be more of a view and light obstruction. Our family had two staterooms, and I thought the adults were getting the better view (appeared to be on the diagram), when if fact my boys got the better room. In short, the diagram does not show the full obstruction. Other than that, the location is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything we should know? Thank you.I would stick with the cabin you have, great view. I have stayed in E205 (much further forward)and had no problems with ship movement. Do not listen to people that have not stayed in these rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
