Description: Deluxe Balcony staterooms are a larger version of a balcony stateroom and include all the same amenities, plus a comfortable sofa bed to relax and rejuvenate.
Cabins in Category BF have a private enclosed balcony. These Staterooms have room for up to 3 guests and feature floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to the balcony. They include a separate bathroom with shower, two lower beds that convert into a queen-size bed, a sitting area, and additional bedding to fit one more.
Cruise ship balcony cabins are the most popular cabin category. So many travelers choose this type of cruise ship cabin that some ships put private verandas on all of their outside cabins.
Grand Class differencesOne of the most significant is that five of the ships (Grand, Golden, Star, Sapphire and Diamond) have one less deck than the others. However, on board Grand and Diamond, there is still room for a nine-hole mini-golf course – a feature that is also found on Caribbean, Crown, Emerald and Ruby.
Princess appeals to an older demographic than lines such as Carnival and Norwegian. The average age of passengers is around 57, and you'll usually see a lot of couples on board in their 50s, 60s and 70s. As noted above, these aren't people necessarily craving go-kart tracks and ropes courses at sea.
Midship staterooms on the lowest passenger deck are the most excellent spot to be on a cruise ship in this instance because you don't feel the vessel sway as much.
Larger than our Standard Balcony staterooms, Premium Deluxe Balcony cabins provide approximately 233 square feet of comfort, and an approximately 41 square foot balcony and includes all the same features of the Balcony stateroom, plus an additional sofa bed for lounging or sleeping a third passenger.
