Princess Cruises ship cabin and suite guide: Everything you want to know

Gene Sloan

Is a balcony cabin a must for you when you cruise? Princess Cruises could be your line.

The California-based brand was a pioneer in adding a large number of balcony cabins to ships, and even its oldest vessels are loaded with balcony cabins — something that can't be said for many of its rivals.

On the flip side, Princess offers relatively few suites on its ships compared to some of the big-ship lines with which it most directly competes, including Celebrity Cruises , Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean. Just 46 of the 1,830 rooms on the line's recently unveiled Discovery Princess are suites, for instance. Believe it or not, that's an improvement from earlier vessels in the same series, some of which have as few as 36 suites.

Princess also isn't known for enormous and amenity-filled suites.

What this means is there aren't a lot of ways to live large on a Princess ship or pack a lot of people into a single accommodation. Until the debut of Sky Princess in 2019, the line didn't have a single cabin that could accommodate more than four people.

That said, on Princess ships, you can often create larger living spaces by booking two connecting cabins.

A Princess Cruises cabin primer

As is typical for many cruise ships, Princess vessels offer cabins in four broad categories: Windowless "inside" cabins, ocean-view cabins, balcony cabins and suites.

As noted above, a significant portion of cabins on all Princess ships are balcony cabins — the category of cabin that everyone wants these days. About 80% of the 1,834 cabins on Princess's six-month-old Enchanted Princess are balcony cabins or suites with balconies, for instance. Compare that to the 72% of cabins on Royal Caribbean's four-year-old Symphony of the Seas that are balcony cabins or suites with balconies.

Notably, every single cabin facing the sea on three of the newest Princess ships — Royal Princess, Regal Princess and Majestic Princess — has a balcony. These three vessels are completely devoid of ocean-view cabins (cabins facing the sea that only have a window). That's relatively unusual in the world of big mass-market ships — the niche of cruising in which Princess plays. It's more common with luxury cruise vessels.

At the same time, as noted above, Princess vessels have fewer suites than you'll find on the ships operated by such big-ship brands as Royal Caribbean and Celebrity.

Here's a breakdown of the broad cabin categories on Royal Princess, which is typical of the line's newer ships (it's the prototype vessel for the line's new, six-ship Royal Class series):

Inside cabins: 342 (19%) Ocean-view cabins: 0 (0%) Balcony cabins (including mini-suites): 1,402 (79%) Suites: 36 (2%)

On older Princess ships (and, in general, all older cruise ships), there are fewer balcony cabins. However, the ratio of balcony cabins to non-balcony cabins is much higher on older Princess ships than it is on older vessels at many other big-ship lines. An impressive 72% of the 1,000 cabins on Princess's 2003-built Coral Princess, for instance, are balcony cabins.

On Coral Princess, inside cabins and ocean-view cabins only make up 26% of all rooms. A breakdown of the cabin categories on that ship:

Inside cabins: 108 (11%) Ocean-view cabins: 157 (16%) Balcony cabins (including mini-suites): 719 (72%) Suites: 16 (2%)

The takeaway here is that you'll have an easier time locking down a balcony cabin on a Princess ship — even an older Princess ship — than you will when booking many of the ships operated by competing big-ship lines.

Just note that you'll want to book early if you're aiming for a suite on a Princess ship since there are so few of them. Note, also, that suites tend to sell out early on cruise ships in general. An old saying in the cruise industry is that "ships sell from the top and the bottom." That is, the first cabins on any vessel to sell out are the most expensive cabins, which are the suites, and then the least expensive cabins, which typically are the inside cabins. The mid-priced "middle" cabins sell last.

Design-wise, Princess's cabins and suites are fairly basic and comfortable, if not super stylish.

When it comes to rooms, Princess is sort of the Marriott of the big-ship cruise world. Its rooms are comfortable and functional, but a bit bland. Avant-garde style is not a Princess thing.

Inside cabins on Princess Cruises ships

These are the cabins you stay in when you're on a tight budget. On any Princess ship, they are almost always the least-expensive option when you're booking a cabin. You often can save considerable money by booking an inside cabin versus an ocean-view or higher-level cabin.

What you'll give up, of course, is that ocean view. Your room will have four walls and no windows offering a glimpse of the outside world.

You'll also be in a relatively small room. The typical inside cabin on the new Discovery Princess measures 166 square feet, with some as big as 175 square feet. By comparison, the typical balcony cabin on Discovery Princess measures 181 square feet, not including a 41-square-foot balcony (for a total of 222 square feet).

Still, the inside cabins on Princess ships are bigger than the inside cabins on ships operated by some of the line's main competitors.

Inside cabins on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, for instance, measure just 149 square feet — quite a bit less than the inside cabins on Discovery Princess.

Note that older Princess ships sometimes have smaller inside cabins than newer Princess ships. On the line's 2003-built Coral Princess, inside cabins measure just 156 to 166 square feet. On the line's 1998-built Grand Princess, most inside cabins are 160 square feet (some wheelchair-accessible inside cabins on Grand Princess measure 182 square feet).

Many inside cabins on Princess ships have pull-down bunks that will allow for up to four people to stay in the rooms.

Ocean-view cabins on Princess Cruises ships

With an ocean-view cabin, you get a window looking out to the sea, but not an attached balcony where you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

As noted above, three of Princess's newest vessels — Royal Princess, Regal Princess and Majestic Princess — don't have a single ocean-view cabin. Every outward-facing cabin has a balcony. However, you'll find ocean-view cabins on the line's older vessels and also on the line's three newest ships, Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess and Sky Princess.

In general, ocean-view cabins on the Princess ships that have them are a tad bigger than the inside cabins found on the same vessels. On the line's Emerald Princess, for instance, the typical ocean-view cabin measures 178 square feet. The typical inside cabin on Emerald Princess measures 163 square feet.

On many Princess ships that have ocean-view cabins, the rooms are mostly found just above the promenade deck, where the lifeboats hang, and have obstructed views. You'll also sometimes find a few ocean-view cabins at the back of Princess vessels, facing the wake.

On the line's two Coral Class ships — Coral Princess and Island Princess — there are a few "premium" ocean-view cabins that measure a more spacious 212 square feet. If you're the kind of traveler who needs a lot of space, these rooms can be a good choice.

There also are a handful of "premium" ocean-view cabins on the new Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess and Sky Princess that measure 172 square feet and have unusual slanting windows.

Balcony cabins on Princess Cruises ships

Balcony cabins are what everyone wants these days, and Princess is delivering with huge numbers of balcony cabins on all its newest ships. On the line's new Royal Class series of ships, which began debuting in 2013, nearly 80% of rooms are balcony cabins.

On these newer vessels — Royal Princess, Regal Princess, Majestic Princess, Sky Princess, Enchanted Princess and Discovery Princess — the typical balcony cabin has an interior space of 181 square feet plus a balcony that measures 41 square feet (for a total of 222 square feet). However, there also are bigger "premium deluxe balcony" cabins that can measure as much as 233 square feet on the inside (not including the balcony). Some of these have larger-than-normal balconies that can stretch the total square footage to 312 square feet.

princess cruise adjoining rooms

In addition, the Royal Class vessels have even larger balcony cabins that Princess calls mini-suites. Including their balcony space, these cabins measure anywhere from 299 to 329 square feet. While these mini-suite cabins have the word "suite" in their name, we are including them in the balcony cabin category as they generally resemble very large balcony cabins vs. true suites.

The typical Princess balcony cabin has twin beds that can be converted into a queen bed, a built-in desk with a chair and a built-in miniature refrigerator. In addition to beds, a desk and a miniature fridge, premium balcony cabins have a seating area with a sofa bed that can be used for a third passenger in the room. Some also have a pull-down bunk that can accommodate a fourth person.

Suites on Princess Cruises ships

As mentioned above, Princess ships generally have fewer suites than the ships operated by some of its biggest competitors. The line also isn't known for particularly giant suites.

Princess's three newest ships — Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess and Sky Princess — have the line's first truly large standalone suites, dubbed Sky Suites. There are two of them on each of the vessels, and they measure a generous 1,792 square feet (though more than half of that space is taken up by a huge wraparound balcony). With two bedrooms plus a living room with a pullout sofa, the Sky Suites are the first Princess accommodations designed for up to five people.

Still, even the Sky Suites on Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess and Sky Princess aren't the sort of truly epic suites with huge interior living spaces that you'll find on the latest ships from such competitors as Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. The latest Celebrity vessels, for instance, offer so-called Iconic Suites that have twice as much interior space as the Sky Suites.

princess cruise adjoining rooms

If you're the kind of cruiser who is only happy in a cabin of truly giant proportions (and are willing to pay up for it), Princess probably isn't your line.

Still, you'll find at least a few suites of a decent size on every Princess ship. The line's seven Grand Class vessels each offer two "family suites" at their fronts that can be created by connecting a mini-suite with an adjacent inside cabin to create a six- to eight-person complex.

Each of the line's Royal Class ships (the line's six newest ships) has at least 36 suites.

Bottom line

Princess offers a relatively wide range of cabins on its ships, including lots of the sort of cabins that everyone wants — balcony cabins. If you're a fan of balcony cabins, you'll find plenty of options on Princess ships, including standard size balcony cabins and bigger "premium" balcony cabins. You'll also find a lot of larger "mini-suite" balcony cabins on Princess ships. However, you won't find a lot of truly large suites with multiple rooms.

Introduction

Welcome aboard the exciting world of cruising! Embarking on a cruise vacation offers endless adventures, breathtaking views, and unparalleled relaxation. Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or planning your first voyage, one of the key considerations when booking your cruise is your accommodations. And if you’re traveling with a larger group or family, or simply prefer the convenience of having multiple rooms, booking connecting rooms could be the perfect choice for you.

Connecting rooms on a cruise provide a unique and convenient option for travelers who want to stay close to their loved ones, while still maintaining a level of privacy. These rooms are designed to have a connecting door or a shared private hallway, allowing easy access between the rooms, making it ideal for families with children or groups of friends traveling together.

By booking connecting rooms, you can enjoy the best of both worlds – the togetherness of shared space and the privacy of separate rooms. Imagine spending quality time with your family or friends during the day and retreating to your own space to relax and unwind at night.

Throughout this article, we will explore the benefits of booking connecting rooms on a cruise, discuss the factors to consider when making this decision, offer tips on researching and selecting a cruise line that offers connecting rooms, and provide insights on how to find and book connecting rooms that meet your needs and preferences.

So, if you’re ready to discover the art of cruising while enjoying the comfort and convenience of connecting rooms, let’s dive in and explore the world of cruises together!

Understanding Connecting Rooms on a Cruise

Before delving into the process of booking connecting rooms, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what they actually are. Connecting rooms are a type of accommodation arrangement on a cruise ship that allows two or more rooms to be connected, either through a shared interior door or a shared private hallway. This means that guests can easily move between the rooms without having to go out into the main corridor.

Connecting rooms are especially popular among families, multi-generational travelers, and groups of friends. They provide the perfect balance between spending quality time together and having your own personal space. Parents can keep an eye on their children in the adjacent room, while still enjoying privacy and comfort.

It’s important to note that connecting rooms can be found across various cabin categories on a cruise ship, including interior, oceanview, balcony, and suite cabins. This means that you can choose the level of luxury and amenities that best suits your preferences and budget.

When it comes to the physical layout of connecting rooms, cruise lines typically have different configurations. Some cruise lines have adjoining rooms, where the connecting door is inside the cabin, while others have staterooms with a shared private hallway, where the connecting door is located in the hallway outside the cabins. It’s important to check the specific layout and design of the connecting rooms on the cruise line you’re interested in to ensure it meets your needs.

Another factor to consider is that not all cruise ships have connecting room options available. So, it’s essential to research and select a cruise line and ship that caters to your specific requirements. Additionally, connecting rooms tend to be in high demand, especially during peak travel seasons, so it’s advisable to book early to secure these rooms for your cruise.

By understanding the concept and variety of connecting rooms available on a cruise ship, you can make an informed decision when it comes to booking your accommodations and ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your travel companions.

Benefits of Booking Connecting Rooms

Booking connecting rooms on a cruise offers several enticing benefits that enhance your overall vacation experience. Let’s explore some of the key advantages:

  • Convenience and Accessibility: One of the main advantages of connecting rooms is the ease of access between the rooms. Whether you’re traveling with children, elderly family members, or friends, having connecting rooms allows you to stay close to your travel companions while still maintaining the privacy and comfort of separate rooms.
  • Flexibility and Comfort: Connecting rooms provide ample space for everyone to spread out and relax. Instead of cramming into a single room, you can enjoy the luxury of having your own sleeping area, bathroom, and storage space. This ensures that each member of your group can have their own personal space and privacy when needed.
  • Enhanced Family Time: Traveling as a family is all about creating memorable moments together. Booking connecting rooms allows you to spend quality time with your loved ones while enjoying the convenience of separate sleeping quarters. Whether it’s game nights, movie marathons, or simply bonding time, connecting rooms provide the ideal setting for family togetherness.
  • Peace of Mind: For families with young children, connecting rooms offer added peace of mind. Parents can keep a close eye on their children in the adjacent room, ensuring their safety and well-being while still being able to relax and unwind in their own space.
  • Group Travel Made Easy: If you’re traveling with a group of friends or extended family, booking connecting rooms allows you to stay close and share the excitement of the cruise together. It eliminates the hassle of having to coordinate meeting points and ensures that everyone can easily stay connected throughout the voyage.

It’s important to note that the specific benefits of booking connecting rooms may vary depending on the cruise line and ship you choose. Some cruise lines offer additional amenities and perks for guests staying in connecting rooms, such as exclusive access to certain onboard facilities or priority dining reservations.

By taking advantage of the benefits of booking connecting rooms, you can create a comfortable and enjoyable cruise experience for yourself and your travel companions. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or a combination of both, connecting rooms provide the perfect blend of togetherness and personal space, ensuring that everyone has a memorable and relaxing vacation.

Factors to Consider When Booking Connecting Rooms

While booking connecting rooms on a cruise can offer numerous benefits, it’s important to consider certain factors to ensure that you make the best decision for your vacation. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:

  • Cabin Configuration: Different cruise lines have varying layouts for their connecting rooms. Some may have adjoining rooms with an interior connecting door, while others may offer cabins with a shared private hallway. Take the time to research and understand the specific configuration of the connecting rooms on the cruise line and ship you’re interested in to ensure it suits your preferences and needs.
  • Room Size and Amenities: Consider the size of the rooms and the amenities they offer. If you’re traveling with a large group or family, you may need more space, so opting for larger connecting rooms or suites could be beneficial. Also, check for amenities such as extra storage space, sofa beds, or mini-fridges that can enhance your comfort during the cruise.
  • Location on the Ship: Take into account the location of the connecting rooms on the ship. If you’re sensitive to noise, you may want to avoid rooms near high-traffic areas or late-night entertainment venues. Conversely, if you prefer quick access to certain facilities or areas of the ship, consider booking connecting rooms that are located conveniently for your needs.
  • Availability and Booking Timeframe: Connecting rooms are in high demand, especially during peak travel seasons. It’s advisable to book your cruise and connecting rooms as early as possible to secure the accommodations you desire. Waiting until the last minute may result in limited availability or having to settle for different arrangements.
  • Price and Budget: Keep your budget in mind when booking connecting rooms. While they offer convenience and added space, they may come at a slightly higher price compared to standard rooms. Make sure to factor in the cost when planning and budgeting for your cruise.

Additionally, it’s essential to do thorough research on the cruise line’s policies regarding connecting rooms. Some cruise lines have age restrictions on guests staying in separate rooms, while others may require all occupants of the connecting rooms to be booked under the same reservation. Understanding these policies beforehand will help you avoid any surprises or inconveniences during the booking process.

By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision when booking connecting rooms on your cruise. Remember to plan ahead, research various options, and choose the accommodations that align with your preferences and needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable vacation for everyone in your travel group.

Researching and Selecting a Cruise Line

When it comes to booking connecting rooms on a cruise, it’s crucial to research and select the right cruise line that meets your specific requirements. Here are some factors to consider when conducting your research:

  • Connectivity Options: Not all cruise lines offer connecting rooms, so it’s important to check which cruise lines provide this accommodation option. Look for cruise lines that prioritize family or group travel and specifically mention connecting rooms in their cabin descriptions.
  • Destinations and Itineraries: Consider the destinations and itineraries offered by the cruise lines you’re interested in. Ensure that they visit the places you wish to explore and offer the activities and experiences that align with your preferences.
  • Onboard Amenities and Activities: Take into account the amenities and activities offered onboard the cruise ship. Different cruise lines cater to different interests and demographics, so choose one that provides the type of entertainment, dining options, and facilities that you and your travel companions will enjoy.
  • Family-Friendly or Suitable for Groups: If you’re traveling with family or a group, look for cruise lines that are known to be family-friendly or cater to groups. These cruise lines often have more extensive offerings for children, including supervised kids’ clubs, family-friendly entertainment, and activities tailored to different age groups.
  • Reputation and Reviews: Research the reputation and customer reviews of the cruise lines you’re considering. Pay attention to feedback about their accommodations, service, cleanliness, and overall passenger satisfaction. Online forums and review websites can provide valuable insights from past travelers.
  • Budget and Pricing: Determine your budget and compare the pricing for connecting rooms across different cruise lines. Keep in mind that pricing can vary based on the cruise line, ship, cabin category, and travel dates. Look for any special offers, promotions, or discounts that may be available for connecting room bookings.

Once you have gathered information about various cruise lines, compare and evaluate your options based on the above factors. Consider the needs and preferences of your travel group, and select a cruise line that offers the best combination of amenities, destinations, connectivity options, and value for your money.

Booking connecting rooms on the right cruise line will ensure that you and your travel companions have a memorable and enjoyable cruise experience, with comfortable accommodations that cater to your specific needs.

Finding and Booking Connecting Rooms

Now that you have researched and selected the cruise line that offers connecting rooms, it’s time to find and book the perfect accommodations for your cruise. Here are some steps to help you in the process:

  • Consult with a Travel Agent: If you prefer personalized assistance and expert guidance, consider consulting with a travel agent specializing in cruises. They can help you navigate through the various options, provide insights, and handle the booking process on your behalf.
  • Visit the Cruise Line’s Website: Start your search by visiting the official website of the cruise line you have chosen. Explore their cabin options, and specifically look for information on connecting rooms. You can typically find details about the layout, amenities, and location of the connecting rooms, as well as any special promotions or offers available.
  • Use Online Travel Agencies: Utilize online travel agencies that specialize in cruise bookings. These platforms often provide robust search features that allow you to filter your results based on cabin type and preferences. They may also offer additional perks or discounts for booking through their platform.
  • Contact the Cruise Line Directly: If you have specific questions or requirements regarding connecting rooms, reach out to the cruise line’s customer service directly. They can provide more detailed information and assist you in finding the best connecting room options for your needs.
  • Book Early: Connecting rooms tend to be in high demand, especially during peak travel seasons, so it’s advisable to book as early as possible. By securing your reservations in advance, you increase your chances of securing the desired connecting rooms for your cruise.
  • Consider Flexible Dates: If your travel dates are flexible, try checking different departure dates for availability and potential savings. Sometimes, adjusting your travel plans by a few days can offer more options when it comes to connecting room availability.
  • Read and Review the Booking Terms: Before finalizing your reservation, carefully read and review the booking terms and conditions. Pay attention to cancellation policies, payment schedules, and any additional fees that may apply.
  • Secure Your Booking: Once you have selected the connecting rooms that meet your requirements, proceed with the booking process. Follow the instructions provided by the cruise line or travel agency, providing the necessary information and payment details to secure your accommodations.

It’s worth noting that booking connecting rooms may require providing specific details about the number of guests and their relationships (e.g., parents and children), as some cruise lines have restrictions on who can occupy connecting rooms.

By following these steps, you can successfully find and book connecting rooms that provide the ideal accommodations for your cruise. Remember to be proactive, ask questions, and make your reservation early to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your travel companions.

Tips for Booking Connecting Rooms

Booking connecting rooms on a cruise can enhance your vacation experience, and with these helpful tips, you can ensure a smooth and successful process:

  • Plan Ahead: Connecting rooms are in high demand, so it’s advisable to plan and book your cruise well in advance. This gives you a better chance of securing the connecting rooms that meet your preferences and needs.
  • Be Flexible: If your travel dates are flexible, consider adjusting them based on availability and pricing for connecting rooms. Even a slight change in departure dates can open up more options and potentially save you money.
  • Communicate Your Requirements: Clearly communicate your requirements and preferences for connecting rooms during the booking process. Ensure that the cruise line or travel agent understands that you need the rooms to be connected or located near each other.
  • Consider Cabin Location: Think about the location of the connecting rooms on the ship. If you have specific preferences, such as being close to certain facilities or avoiding noise, make these requests known during the booking process.
  • Review the Cabin Layout: Take the time to review and understand the layout of the connecting rooms. Determine if an interior connecting door or shared private hallway is preferable for your travel group.
  • Check Age Restrictions: Some cruise lines have age restrictions for guests staying in connecting rooms without accompanying adults. Ensure that your group meets the requirements to avoid any misunderstandings or issues during the cruise.
  • Stay Updated on Promotions: Subscribe to newsletters or follow the cruise line’s social media channels to stay informed about any promotions or discounts specifically for connecting rooms. This can help you save money or receive additional perks for your booking.
  • Consider Travel Insurance: Purchasing travel insurance is always a good idea, especially when booking connecting rooms. It provides peace of mind and financial protection in case of unforeseen circumstances that may affect your travel plans.
  • Confirm Your Reservation: After booking connecting rooms, double-check the reservation details and confirm with the cruise line or travel agent to ensure everything is correct. This step helps avoid any potential issues or misunderstandings when you embark on your cruise.
  • Prepare for Onboard Enjoyment: Once your connecting rooms are booked, start researching and planning for the onboard experiences and activities that you and your travel companions can enjoy together. This includes exploring the dining options, entertainment choices, and excursions available.

By following these tips, you can increase your chances of securing ideal connecting rooms and set the stage for a fantastic cruise adventure with your loved ones or travel companions.

Connecting cabins

By Midfield13 , April 7, 2018 in Princess Cruises

Cool Cruiser

Has anyone stayed in one?

My concern is the noise level.

Can we hear the TV? Cruise mates talking? etc......

It’s a BB category cabin on the Caribbean.

Thank you for your input.

In my experience, connecting rooms can be just a noisy as non-connecting ones. Or not. It really just depends on who your neighbors are and how loud they are.

The wall between rooms is pretty thin (think motel room wall). The connecting door has two doors on it. Sometimes the door(s) could be a better noise barrier than the wall.

I would go with the connecting room being a higher chance of noise issues. Now you might like the noise you hear; they might inspire you.

But... a blaring TV can be heard in the adjoining stateroom and in the hallway. :hearteyes:

Btw: staterooms are individual units installed into a girder framework. Think drawers in a bureau.

We had a connecting cabin on Royal Princess and could hear the passengers next door talking if you were close to the door but it wasn't loud and not really a problem for us.

There was probably more noise heard from the hallway.

metairiegal

First of all, let me say that I am sensitive to noise, so this is only my opinion and maybe this is just me.

But, from past Princess experience (and other cruise lines and hotels in general), I will never ever get a connecting room again.

It doesn't matter if there are 2 doors instead of 1. That does not block out the noise. There is something about the space under those doors, I think. But, you can hear tvs, talking, sneezing, crying babies, etc. Even a towel but under the door or between the doors does not help.

If you are not sensitive to noise, it may not be a problem. Go with your gut, if it is telling you there may be a problem, find a different cabin.

azbirdmom

We were in a mini suite on the Royal with a connecting door that was installed after the original build. We could clearly hear our neighbors and they didn't seem to be talking loudly. We mentioned it to our room steward who apparently had heard complaints previously. He brought us extra towels to stuff under the door which helped somewhat. But our lesson learned was to avoid connecting cabins when planning future cruises.

Lucky TGO

All that I have read about connecting cabins is you can hear the people talking in the next cabin.

We were just in a Caribbean Princess Caribe deck balcony stateroom with connecting door February 2018 - no problem whatsoever. I am a light sleeper - never heard our neighbors once.

Thrak

On one cruise - without a connecting cabin - we were woken many mornings around 6:00 AM by The Wake Show. Our next door neighbor played the TV at an amazingly loud volume. I realize we should have complained but didn't do so.

Cruise Raider

I am with you ... I've had enough connecting cabins to know I don't ever want one again. I avoid them like the plague now.

Of note, they do have a very interesting way of making connecting cabins on the Celebrity S-class ships. Their design makes all the difference in the world. Each cabin door is in a small alcove that contains two cabin doors situated next to one another. For the connecting cabins, there is a double door that can close off the alcove from the hallway and the two connecting cabins can leave their individual doors open. When connecting cabins are booked by separate parties, the main doors stay open and operate like any other cabin. Bingo ... problem solved. I've not seen a Princess ship use this design, though.

Travel Tips: How to Get Adjoining Rooms without Paying Extra

Cruise ships are wonderful vacations for the whole family. However, just like a hotel, it’s often impossible to fit everyone in a single room. Many hotels offer adjoining rooms which make it easy to go from one to the other without ever going out in the hallway. Cruise ships offer similar rooms, but there can often be an upcharge for rooms with adjacent doors. Did you know there’s a secret way to get adjoining rooms for your friends and family without paying any extra? It’s all about the balcony.

How Can I Get Adjoining Rooms on a Cruise Ship?

Call Guests Services once on board to have them remove the divider

Those paying a little more for a balcony room are in for a fantastic view no matter where they’re cruising. If you’re traveling in a group and your rooms are next to each other, did you know that it’s actually possible to remove the divider in between the balconies to create a much larger space? The partitions are there to give people privacy, but they are easily removed with a call to the cabin steward or guest services who have all the necessary tools to get the job done quickly and easily.

RELATED:   Travel Tips: Skip the Lines with Cruise Ship Priority Check In

There’s no charge for removing the balcony partition, but always make sure you ask about it AFTER you get on the ship. If you call ahead of time, chances are the cruise line will try to sell you on the rooms which adjoin on the interior. If you’re already spending a fair amount for the ocean view, the thought of paying more when you don’t have to is downright crazy.

Save Money on a Cruise

For veteran cruisers, the balcony divider secret is old news, so the sooner you can make the call or stop by guest services, the sooner you’ll be connected to the room next door. They generally work on a first come, first serve basis, so don’t be worried if they can’t come right away to make the change for you!

Family and group bookings continue to gain traction in the cruise industry, prompting cruise lines to invest in adjoining rooms and connecting cabins. It’s worth comparing the cost of connecting cabins as an alternative to a stateroom or suite. Depending on the size of your family or group you can save money and still get the comfortable configuration you desire.

Newer ships provide the greater array of accommodation options. On some ships there are a limited number of family-friendly staterooms. Book early to avoid disappointment, especially if you plan to travel during school holidays.

It appears that Princess is dropping the excursion to Moscow! What's up with that?

1. So very expensive that there are not enough takers to warrant hiring a Tour Guide. :eek:

2. 17.5-hour day is too long. :confused:

3. 5 hours travel time (1 hour to airport, 1 hour flight + fooling around at airport time = 5 hours). :o

4. There are sooooooo many beautiful places to visit right there in SPb. :cool:

Jordan: So sorry if you are disappointed. I know you really wanted to do that. I had not heard that it was cancelled; however, you are going in June, if I remember correctly. I don't go until September. You booked at Cab-Inn? Do you have your pre-cruise Docs?

I plan on doing Moscow another time. :D

After reading your post, I had to find out why. Turns out that the Princess web site hasn't been updated. :( The Intro to Moscow excursion lists available dates of Jan 01, 2004 - Sep 30 , 2004 ! :eek: Like you, we were planning on this one and are very disappointed. Maybe, and it's probably a BIG maybe, Princess will bring it back. I won't hold my breath though, as this would have to be arranged far in advance for a group outing.

Smooth sailing.

It is not on the selection for the July 24th Star Princess cruise. They have been available for selecting for about a week now.

  1. Princess Cruises ship cabin and suite guide

    An impressive 72% of the 1,000 cabins on Princess's 2003-built Coral Princess, for instance, are balcony cabins. On Coral Princess, inside cabins and ocean-view cabins only make up 26% of all rooms. A breakdown of the cabin categories on that ship: Inside cabins: 108 (11%) Ocean-view cabins: 157 (16%) Balcony cabins (including mini-suites): 719 ...

  2. How To Book Connecting Rooms On Cruise

    Finding and booking connecting rooms requires careful consideration and proactive steps. Consult with travel agents, visit cruise line websites, use online travel agencies, contact the cruise line directly, book early, and review the booking terms to secure your accommodations effectively.

  3. Connecting Cabins on Princess Ships?

    Cruise Lines "P - Z". Princess Cruises. Could some of you kind folks report in on your experiences with staterooms that are listed on the deckplans (when choosing your cabin) as being a "Connecting Room". I assume that means there is a locked door between two separate cabins, which stays locked if the two parties are unrelated.

  4. Experience with adjoining rooms

    We've had noisy neighbors with non-connecting rooms and not hearing a peep from the people in a connecting room. I'd like to think those who can afford the time and money for a 40 day cruise are also the type that are more considerate of others and likely to content themselves with quiet pursuits than a three night bacchanal sailing, or a family with young kids acting out.

  5. adjoining cabin

    Categories. Cruise Lines "P - Z". Princess Cruises. adjoining cabin. So, I leave, with my sister, on the Royal, January 12. I've cruised the Royal before, but this is my sister's first cruise. I'm quite worried as I just realized that I booked an adjoining cabin. Are there any suggestions out there if we find the noise transfer too much ...

  6. Discovery Princess Rooms (adjoining or suite)

    Princess Cruises. Discovery Princess Rooms (adjoining or suite) Hi All, I'm considering sailing on Discovery, and it will be my husband, my two year old son, and myself. My husband has only recently (last couple years) developed a very bad snore. No ear plugs work, and sleeping in the same room, no matter how spacious, is not an option.
