AH or AC? Island Princess

Hi,

2 questions: We have achoice between an AH min-suite on Baja deck (#B703) or mini-suite AC (#D620 ) on Dolphin deck. of the Isaland Princess. There is about $ 400 difference for a couple between the two., the more expensive being the minisuite with balcony. Is it worth it to have a balcony? Is a larger suite better? We are cruising North to Alsaka on August 21.
Is the weather warm enough to spend time on the balcony? The AH mini-suite is starboard fore, the Ac minisuite is portside aft. Would appreciate knowing the advantages and disadvantages.

Second question: What do the red dots and black triangles on the ship's deck plans mean? Haven't found the key nor been able to figure it out.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

A little confused on your cabin #s... did you mean B203 instead of B703? ...B703 is an aft balcony.

Either way, I'd go for the balcony. Even if the weather doesn't permit you to spend a lot of time out there, you will definitely appreciate being able to step out there for the Alaska scenery. Both will have more than enough room for you inside.

Personally, we prefer not to be so far forward or aft. It cuts down on the motion and noise when you're midship... but lots of people really enjoy forward & aft.

The black triangle means it will accomodate a third person, the red dot means a third and fourth person. The key is at the very bottom of the page with the deck plans in the brochure.

Thanks ever so much for the info. Believe it or not, we've done everything over the phone and the internet so I don't even have the brochure.My husband and I had rather figured out what the symbols meant but we're happy that you have cleared it up for us.

We've followed your advice and were able to get a minisuite on Dolphin deck (D-612)
which is quite aft but still a bit more midship. Guess we will have enough room to chase each other around (LOL). Actually, we are renewing our vows in the wedding chapel. After 40 years we're still ready to start over.

We realise that people on higher decks can look down upon us, so we'll just have to be on our best behavior. Anyways, I'm too old to pull a Janet Jackson.

Once again, thanks for the info and the advice.

D612 looks like a good choice. Enjoy! We just came off the Island Princess a couple of weeks ago.
