Suggestion that you change your title to a “Reserve Collection Mini-Suite” so we know that it’s different than a regular Mini Suite.

Did u compare this with the so called upgraded version with the more plastic drum ?
@donnaschuepbach383016 күн бұрын
Great video. You did a very good job..nice and slow. I hope you had a wonderful cruise. My daughter and i will have the same balcony in 2025. I can't wait.

does the lid come apart for cleaning?
@AnnettesfavesАй бұрын
No, but the lid is really easy to clean. I use dish soap, rinse it and let it air dry.

What was the motion of the boat like during rough waves?
@AnnettesfavesАй бұрын
Luckily we didn't have rough seas, so I am not sure. When I booked this room, I will admit I was a little afraid of getting sick, but it didn't bother me at all.

I have the manual pump one and am going to to take that up to our lake house so I can get this power version for home. I find my carbonation is inconsistent when I do it myself...I'm always worried about pulling the lever too much so end up with "Level 1" most of the time. Thanks for this and showing the comparisons--I recommend anyone choosing between the different models to go with the powered one.
@AnnettesfavesАй бұрын
You will definitely appreciate the powered version! Thank you for sharing :)

So level 1 is three jets, level 2 is 5 and level 3 is 6. I suppose it works the same way if you have the manual version.

This is a great video - your narration was perfect, detailed and as a speech pathologist, your voice is relaxing and you have a lovely tone to your voice 🙂! Great video camera expertise as well and that veranda is amazing! I love that if it becomes too windy your husband can move the outdoor furniture to your side veranda out of the wind ! (Notice I gave that job to him LOL). I am sure your cruise on the Discovery Princess was amazing ! My husband and I are Platinum members which indicate our enjoyment of Princess especially their lovely friendly service and my being Italian, their pastas and pizza YUM ! Cheers to you, stay healthy and enjoy ! marcia

This is quite similar to the penthouse suite that we stayed in last year. The biggest difference is the bathroom. Very thorough video, thank you.
@mikemahon61649 ай бұрын
Wow…you really are forward-facing. When you initially pulled back the curtain showing the view, I couldn’t get over how spectacular the view was out the window. Later when you stepped out onto the balcony and showed us the size of the deck, really so amazing!! I typically book stand balcony cabins where I’m more mid-forward but after seeing this maybe sometime I’ll try a forward cabin.

Thinking about this cabin, but worried about getting seasick. Was that an issue?
@Annettesfaves8 ай бұрын
Not at all, but everyone is different. We didn't have any rough seas. We were totally fine. If you don't typically get sea sick, you should be good to go!

I prefer that floor plan for a mini suite but being at the VERY front of the ship is the main negative.

Was the wind troublesome? Did it stop you from enjoying the balcony?
@Annettesfaves10 ай бұрын
During sea days, it was windy and cold because it was earlier in the year on the Pacific Ocean. Once we were near a port, the weather was great and warm and that is when we enjoyed the balcony the most. When coming into or leaving the ports, it was spectacular. We had the ultimate view of watching dolphins and humpback whales in Mexico while we were cruising into Cabo. We loved the room for its size and plan on booking the same room for an Alaskan cruise. If you love hanging out on your patio during sea days, then it may not be the room for you. There is some give and take with a forward cabin but we didn't mind. Overall we really loved it!

We are considering booking this cabin for an Alaska cruise in 2025. I appreciate your video. My cruise planner with Princess is telling me that his notes say that the balcony to this room is only open when the ship is in port and we would not be able to use it when at sea. He also said his notes say it's an obstructed view but I dont see that in your video. Do you have any insight to what he is telling me?
@Annettesfaves Жыл бұрын
Exciting, Alaska would be awesome to see!! Our steward told us that if we decided on this same room for the Alaskan cruise , it would be perfect because of the views. Honestly, the obstructed view really isn't too bad if you slightly have to lean over to the right past your neighbors partition. You can go out at sea on your deck, but it's really windy. Entering and exiting the port is amazing!! Also, in port just hanging out on the deck is beyond a wow factor. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with this room because I'd do it again, especially for Alaska.
@cwafflestx Жыл бұрын
@@Annettesfaves Thank you. We did end up booking but we booked a different room for Alaska. My Princess Cruise Planner told me that if we booked this cabin we would not have access to the Balcony when the ship was moving because of the high winds and it being forward facing. We ended up booking a wrap around aft suite because we want to be able to use the balcony while we are at sea.
@anghumphreys6442 Жыл бұрын
I was also curious how you were able to walk out on the balcony cause I read the same thing. We had booked this room and then switched it because I wanted to be able to go out whenever I wanted. 😢😢
@Annettesfaves Жыл бұрын
Hi, We did go out on the deck when it was in motion, but we also went to the Mexican Riveria, so it was warmer. There is no one stopping you from going out on the deck, plus our forward facing neighbors were out there, and we all interacted with each other while watching the hump back whales and dolphins. It was windy depending on how fast the ship was moving. Overall, it's a super cool experience.

Thank you for sharing your video. Excellent content and quality. We are traveling in this cabin in June. Alaska! I hope we are able to enjoy the balcony. Concened about the wind. How was the noise? I read some reviews for the forward facing cabins where travelers had a somwhat unpleasant experience. Thank you again!
@Annettesfaves Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback!! The balcony was chilly and windy during sea days, so we used the balcony mainly on port days and during embarkation. The steward assigned to that cabin was wonderful, so you are in good hands. When we asked him if we should book this same cabin for Alaska, he smiled and said this is one of the best cabins for that trip. Bring binoculars for your trip!! We wish we had them on this Mexican Riviera cruise because humpback whales were everywhere. It was an incredible experience, so I do recommend this room. Enjoy and have a fun and safe trip!!

I also wanted to add that you can't hear wind noise inside the cabin when the balcony doors are closed, so need to worry about that.
