Sail Date: Jun 2012
Traveled with children

This was our second trip on the Sea Princess, both sailing round trip San Francisco Alaska. We booked a mini suite and an interior cabin thirteen months out. It was a long wait but worth it. Our mini aft cabin (C745) on the Caribe deck is the largest of the minis on the Sea Princess. We booked our kids (teens) directly across in a JJ category (C745) which is 155 square feet.

Room: Our room had a long entry that opened onto the "lounging" area which consisted of a couch (for two) two large side chairs, a television cabinet and wet bar. The bed was made to a king and did not appear to be able to be separated as the side tables seemed to be bolted to the wall. There was another television cabinet and desk. Two doors flanked either side of that area one being the walk in closet (one person at a time) and the other door lead to the bathroom. There was a single sink with two mirrored cabinets on either side. The shower was a tub/shower combination. The toilet was housed off the main bath (with sink too) and could also be accessed from the entry hall. A note about the bed: it was not hard! It was very comfortable and the sheets so soft. This room was perfect to get together with the kids before dinner and to play cards during the day.

The kids room had more room than I thought interior cabins would have and we would even book that cabin and be quite comfortable. The space between the beds was about 40" and there was a dresser between the beds. The standard desk was at the foot of one bed and the closest was huge. The kids got all of their stuff in the dressers and closet with room to spare. The bathroom was small though with the darned shower curtain that finds you while you're taking a shower! One thing I noticed is that both rooms had quite a bit of room under the bed (like 14" deep) so all the luggage and duffels were stored out of sight.

Advantage to aft cabins: VERY quiet since you don't have other passengers walking by.
