hi I'm Gary beverage of tips for
0:01
travelers I'm about to take you on a
0:03
tour of a balcony cabin onboard the
0:06
Caribbean Princess now the Caribbean
0:08
princess is part of Princess Cruises it
0:11
was originally built in 2004 it had a
0:13
big revamp in 2017 there are 1556 cabins
0:19
holding 3,100 passengers but 40% of them
0:23
are balcony cabins like the one I'm
0:25
going to show you so let me take you
0:27
through the cabin where as you can see
0:29
upon entering it's a pretty bright room
0:32
one of the things you should note is
0:33
that in the revamp the only real change
0:35
to the cabins were the beds the beds
0:37
were replaced with special new princess
0:40
beds which are very very comfortable so
0:43
I have it set here as a king sized bed
0:45
but of course it can be set as a twin
0:48
bed now it's not a massive room but it's
0:49
a good size and the de coeur and look in
0:52
and layout is a fairly traditional
0:54
cruise ship layout if you have the bed
0:57
area then across on the other side you
1:00
have a little work desk dressing table
1:03
area to the right of that is the
1:05
television glasses etc and a minibar
1:09
underneath now if you're an elite
1:11
passenger the minibar is actually
1:13
stocked complimentary if you're not an
1:16
elite passenger then you obviously have
1:18
to buy your own drinks now leave
1:19
passenger comes from being the highest
1:22
level there is on the loyalty program
1:25
one of things you should also take a
1:27
look at is the television so the
1:29
television has a whole mixture of
1:31
internal channels so their own wave
1:34
television with all those announcements
1:36
about things that are going on it also
1:38
has a cross section of news channels
1:40
from the US the UK and also shows movies
1:43
throughout the day and into the night so
1:46
now let's going to take a look at the
1:47
sort of storage area and the bathroom so
1:51
it's an open storage area so there's no
1:52
doors on the cupboards but there's a lot
1:55
of hanging space as you can see here to
1:57
the rest of that is some cupboard space
2:00
which has a safe as well in the bathroom
2:03
is relatively small and it is only a
2:05
shower room so there's a shower there's
2:07
a toilet obviously and a basin although
2:10
it's a premium line you don't get
2:12
andddd name toiletries so the toiletries
2:14
are Lotus spa toiletries so again taking
2:17
a look at the room it's a decent size
2:19
it's quite a nice bright room fairly
2:22
traditional I look and feel with those
2:24
very comfortable beds the balcony I
2:26
really light it's a good sized balcony
2:28
there's two chairs and a table nice
2:30
glass sided balcony so it's really good
2:32
sized balcony great obviously for those
2:35
nice sunny days selling in and selling
2:37
out of port or just relaxing on so nice
2:39
touch is the complimentary tote bag so
2:42
everybody on board was given this
2:44
Princess Cruises tote bag also in the
2:46
room every night you get left a daily
2:49
program which is called the princess
2:51
patter which has the whole events for
2:54
the next day and also if you're
2:56
important you get a port guide so for
2:58
example the one here for when we stopped
3:00
in Dublin polka is really good it has
3:02
maps in her suggestions must do things
3:05
to do contact details and lots of advice
3:08
for finding a way around the city that
3:10
you're visiting in so there you have it
3:11
that's the balcony cabinet as I said 40
3:13
percent of all the cabins on board the
3:15
caribbean princess our balcony cabins so
3:19
you know the bulk of people are gonna be
3:20
saying about the cabins there are seven
3:22
grades ranging from suites on board the
3:25
ship all the way through to inside
3:26
cabins so there's a wide range of choice
3:28
