Voyager of the Seas, Window Cabin 2538

Sailed February 2026. The cabin was located at the end of the corridor aft deck 2. It was right beside a crew only door. We never heard anything from either the door or the crew using the door, unless we passed them in the hall, coming or going and they all said hello and smiled. Kind of made it a good start to the day.

When we got into the cabin it was set up with the drop down bunk in front of the TV so we asked our cabin steward, Ivenia, to change it into the other side.

Everything in the cabin worked well - shower was hot, fridge/cooler was cold, the beds were comfy. The bathroom was the usual, small with a proper shower door. 

The cabin was quiet except for a slight humming sound, that didn't bother us, and was only noticeable if we thought about it.

We liked the big window and we were surprised at the size.


We would like to try a cabin on deck 3 as the windows look a lot bigger, and I think maybe the cabin will be in a different configuration. 

Muster station was Deck 4 Dining Room.

Crown Princess - Balcony Cabin A701

We sailed in January 2026 and had a balcony cabin on Aloha deck (Deck 12). This is a cabin that can sleep up to three people. 

The third bed was a pull down bed from the ceiling.

 
Everything worked well. The bathroom was the normal bathroom with a shower curtain.
It did have some better toiletries.
The cabin was located aft of mid ship and was close to the stairs and lifts.
The muster station was E and was located on Deck 7 at Club Fusion.
The balcony was normal size and had a roof. We looked over other balcony cabins and suites. We prefer deck 12. This was our view.
Princess cabins are on the small size compared with other cruise lines.

Voyager of the Seas - Balcony Cabin 8544

We booked a guaranteed cabin 4 weeks before the cruise in December, and were allocated this cabin about 10 days before the cruise. We were surprised with the size of the balcony - bigger than usual for a regular balcony.

The larger balcony also meant the lounge area was a little smaller, and the lounge would not be the third bed. We have sailed on Voyager before, so knew what to expect with the third bed.

The pull down bed above the big bed was great. Yes, there is little head room under the bed, but I could still sit up in bed, Peter couldn't. We liked it because we could utilize the lounge area day and night.

The cabin had plenty of storage in the main area and .....

 and in the wardrobe.

The bathroom was the usual with a proper shower screen.

The room was very quiet, despite being close to the lifts and stairs. In fact being that close was good. We were also able to view the Royal Promenade parades and events from just out side our door.

The muster station was D, which is located deck 4 port side - outside Giovanni's Table.

Great cabin. Everything worked as it should.
