Princess Transatlantic London - New York City September 3-17 2010 CABIN I chose a balcony cabin for several reasons; I want a window, it is nice to let some fresh air in the cabin, I like to spend time on the balcony. To make a long story short, whenever I read on the cc roll call about the rate going down, I would call Princess & be put back in queue for an upgrade. In other words if I went from a B to a BA category and a less expensive price was mentioned on cc, I would call Princess and request to be put back to a B category. Eventually the price paid for the cruise was $3K; the original price was $7K.

Below is the dining guide available from the front desk gratis.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BC

I cruised alone & shared cabin R606 with no one hence the room was adequate for 1 person; do not know about 2. I was rather surprised at the room of the closet; the availability to store luggage. The balcony was nice but unusable for most of the trip. I like the ability to see my suroundings versus and inside cabin. All in all, I was happy with the cabin & did not have any complaints of those with aft cabins. Cabin R606 is more or less in the center of the ship. A suggestion for those people that cruise with a weak stomach is to choose a cabin in the center of the ship as low a deck as you can get. This information comes from a British lad who spent many years with the British Merchant Marine.
