We booked our cabin in March 2012 and even with a 6 month lead time, there were not many balcony class cabins left to choose from. We liked Deck 10 (Caribe) and Deck 11 (Baja) for its privacy and distance from public amenities , but the mid-ship cabins that we were after were already taken up and it was with a little reluctance that we had to chose Cabin 223 on the Caribe Deck as it was the best choice amongst others. Counting from the front of the ship, this was the eleventh cabin and at this location, the ship will be less stable , more rocky and does not sound well for a person all inclusive vacation cruises like myself who is prone to seasickness.
Tip: Many seasoned cruisers book their cruises early, some even one year in advance. So passengers who are particular about the location of their cabins must book early to secure all inclusive vacation cruises the cabin of their choice.
We were pleasantly surprised to find our checked-in luggage waiting outside our cabin for us when we arrived this was the very first instance of fantastic logistics management by Princess Cruises . Our cabin was surprisingly spacious for a cruise ship. We had previously travelled on Royal Caribbean and Star Cruises and didn t have a good impression on the size of the cabins, though to be honest, those were smaller ships to begin with.

The balconies all inclusive vacation cruises on our deck (Caribe Deck) has the advantage of being partially covered , meaning that the area from the cabin to about 4 ft out has a ceiling cover, and from that point onwards to the railing overlooking the sea is fully exposed with no cover. This means that we have the luxury of sitting out under the sun, or if it rains (which happens very frequently in Alaska), to hide under the privacy of the ceiling all inclusive vacation cruises cover.
all inclusive vacation cruises We have the best of both worlds with our partially covered balcony . Best of all, balconies on the Caribe deck have double the space that similar rooms in other decks have . In fact, our balcony size is comparable to those on the Dolphin Deck which are all mini suites, but we only pay the price of an Oceanview double with balcony. This is the reason why the exterior cabins on the Caribe Deck on the Diamond Princess are so popular and sought after.
