Cruise Ship Cabin Size sqft Ranges

Thankyou dear...determined to try a few venues we didn't do last time...we have 10 days to do it. Mostly included so what the h. Also, as usual, start out intending to stay up later, sleep later, never works that way.

Yankee47, have a wonderful cruise! I'll check out your review in March because you return about the time we leave.

Now somewhere up in here someone made a statement that its hard to get the same cabin more than once...When I said we've already done it, on at least two ships, let me bring that up to speed. Cruised on BREAKAWAY this past nov, and of course, we're going again ..leaving for NO tomorrow am...same cabin...cant remember how far in advance we booked the thing, its a primo bumpout top deck starboard forward. Now then, it just so happens we're going on GETAWAY, her sister, TWICE after that...same cabin number as BREAKAWAY, bump outs again. In the midst of this we're gonna try to book one onboard this trip if we can get what we want, but I digress. About a month or so ago, NCL's new schedule came out for 2020 and a piece of 2021, so we booked two more on BREAKAWAY again. This time, being a genius, and not consulting the MISTRESS of the UNIVERSE, I decided I wanted to stay portside, bump outs, and so that's what I did. Forgot to mention it until she spotted it in our paperwork this am. (suicidal tendencies)..Told me if I wanted a different view, she made some colorful suggestions on how to accomplish that, and proceeded to call NCL bright and early this am. She was able to change one of them right back to the same cabin we had before (in NOV) and will have this Thursday...so that's THREE sailings, same cabin, and a limited number of bump outs available to boot. The other she couldn't change, but claimed since we've never sailed portside (I have no real idea why) she'll put up with it once, just so she can prove how wrong I was in the first place. Compared the cabin deck plans for GETAWAY and BREAKAWAY, and theres so little variation that we even have the same number on GETAWAY,,,So I guess you could make the case we've done it FIVE times, on two ships, not counting doing it on SPIRIT back in the day.

Just so happens the mega ships always port the same way, even if they tender, and the view is usually better, including in NO both ways. The smaller ones usually turn around, but not always.

Gawd I need this cruise..hope that feeling NEVER changes...even if Im a hammock...well...not...

Nice, would consider that prime real estate right there.

OMG! you could LIVE out there....

I like it! Would enjoy staying there for any cruise. Thanks for sharing!

Now this is a balcony. LOL---Had to take two pictures to get it all in. Probably never get one close to it again--Owners Suite. On the stern port side. You could look off the port railing and see everything forward. The balcony almost went to the aft center of the ship, so you could also see sights on the starboard side aft.

Actually no, I am going to be staying in a room like this on the Royal Princess this summer. It was listed for a price between an obstructed and unobstructed oceanview. Listed as Obstructed balcony. I suspect this was an error but a cheap(er) cruise

I'm not sure which ship. Probably the Caribbean Princess. Berlitz has a picture of the Ruby Princess looking down on dozens of balconies in order to illustrate the set back problem. We haven't been on the Ruby but on the Caribbean Princess and the Coral Princess. Here are two pictures of balconies on those. The one of the Coral I took looking up at those who could look down on me.

The "bump out" cabin was on the Royal Princess. Not pictured.

That could be one of the Cove balconies on some of the newer Carnival ships. They are usually on deck 2, so you are about as close to the water as possible. Evidently, the chairs are often wet from the sea spray and almost always covered with salt, so sitting on them is not even a good idea. We have actually been in one, so I can't be sure.
