Enchanted Princess Best Cabins & Suites: The Best Locations for the Money

On Enchanted Princess, start with the extended-angle Dolphin Deck balconies if you want more outdoor space without moving up to a Mini-Suite.

Reserve Collection makes more sense when its dining benefits matter, while M723 and the two Sky Suites offer genuinely different layouts for a larger budget.

Enchanted Princess cabins worth checking first

Choose your cabin around the time you’ll spend in it: a port-heavy Mediterranean week needs a different budget from a trip built around slow mornings on the balcony.

• D420, D421, D424, D425, D428, and D429: these standard Dolphin Deck balconies sit on the ship’s outward bump and pick up extra balcony depth without moving into a higher category. You can search this group before paying for a generic Deluxe Balcony just to get more outdoor room.
• L301 and L302: these Lido Deck balcony cabins sit beside the elevator and pool-access transition, with an extended angled balcony. The trade is potential hallway traffic and proximity to busy upper-deck spaces.
• A428: this Deck 12 Reserve Collection Mini-Suite is 329 square feet in total, including the balcony, sleeps up to three, and adds the larger Mini-Suite living area, bathtub, and Reserve dining experience. Compare the Reserve dining benefit alongside its extended angled balcony.
• M723: this Category S3 Penthouse on Deck 15 has 680 square feet in total, including the balcony, and sleeps up to three. Compare it with the much larger Sky Suites if you want full suite benefits without needing two bedrooms.
• S309 and S310: the two Sky Suites on Deck 18 are the full group splurge, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room, and enormous panoramic terraces. These are for families or groups that will use the suite as part of the vacation, not for two people who simply want a nicer cabin.

Match your cabin budget to the itinerary

For a Mediterranean sailing with long days in port, compare the balcony premium with what you want to spend ashore. On a longer cruise with more time onboard, a sitting area or suite benefits may earn their extra cost.

Keep private outdoor space if morning coffee or sailaway is part of your ideal cruise. Otherwise, a well-located standard cabin leaves more room in the budget for the ports.

Check these six Dolphin Deck extended balconies

D420, D421, D424, D425, D428, and D429 sit around the outward bump on Dolphin Deck. The ship’s shape gives these ordinary balcony cabins more balcony area than the straight-hull rooms around them.

Choose one for two adults who expect to sit outside every day but do not need a sofa, bathtub, or suite service. The interior remains the basic Princess balcony product, so you are paying for the feature you actually wanted.

The bump-out also changes the angle of the view. Some positions look more forward or aft, which can make sailaway and scenic coastline days feel more interesting than a straight side-facing balcony.

Compare neighboring balconies and the exact overhead structure before paying for extra floor space. A larger balcony does not automatically provide more privacy.

If one of these rooms costs the same as a normal balcony, take the extra outdoor space. If the fare approaches Mini-Suite pricing, compare the larger interior before paying a premium for one cabin number.

D425 offers an extended balcony in a central location

Cabin D425 is a Category BA Balcony on Dolphin Deck for two guests, with an extended angled balcony. It has approximately 252 square feet in total, including the balcony.

D425 keeps you near midship, with shorter walks and generally less motion than a far-forward or far-aft choice. It is worth comparing if you want extra balcony space without giving up a central location.

Compare D425 directly with D424, D428, and D429 rather than obsessing over one exact side. The useful part is landing in the extended bump-out group at a sensible fare.

For two adults on a port-heavy Mediterranean cruise, choose this kind of balcony over a Mini-Suite when the fare difference is substantial. Save the upgrade for a trip when you’ll use the larger sitting area or bathtub.

L301 and L302 trade quiet for Lido convenience

L301 and L302 sit on Lido Deck beside the elevator and entrance area leading toward the pool. Their angled position creates a balcony that is a little larger than the standard rectangle and gives a useful forward-facing sightline.

Choose one for someone who lives around the pool, buffet, and upper decks and wants to use stairs rather than elevators. The cabin location can make the whole ship feel more convenient during a warm-weather cruise.

The location can bring foot traffic near the elevator lobby and pool access. Light sleepers who value a quieter corridor should start with a residential-deck balcony instead.

A high deck can also make motion more noticeable. If that concerns you, compare the lower Dolphin Deck options before choosing L301 or L302.

Choose a residential-deck balcony when the special rooms cost too much

If the special balcony shapes are gone, choose a standard balcony on Caribe, Baja, or Aloha Deck with cabins above and below. Those decks offer a residential buffer while keeping the Piazza and upper decks within an elevator ride.

You can stay near the elevator bank your group will use most, but not in the first cabin beside the lobby. Enchanted is large enough that daily walking matters, yet one extra minute in the corridor is a fair price for a quieter doorway.

Do not pay simply to move higher. Riviera and Marina can be convenient, but upper public spaces introduce more possibilities for chairs, carts, and footsteps above your ceiling.

For motion-sensitive travelers, stay lower and closer to midship even if the balcony is ordinary. Extra outdoor space loses its appeal if the cabin’s position makes the ride uncomfortable.

Premium Oceanview S101 gives you light without a balcony

S101 is a Premium Oceanview on Sun Deck, forward on Deck 17, with 172 square feet and space for two guests. Its slanted floor-to-ceiling window provides a broad view without private outdoor space.

You can consider it for a port-heavy Mediterranean sailing where you want natural light and a broad view but know you will barely sit outside privately. The room can cost less than a balcony while feeling much brighter than an Interior.

The high forward location is the catch. Avoid S101 if motion or a long walk to aft venues would be a daily problem.

You should also remember that the window is still a window. If morning coffee outside is one of the reasons you cruise, the savings need to be large enough to make giving up the balcony feel worthwhile.

Choose a Mini-Suite for the sofa, bathtub, and extra room

Enchanted Mini-Suites are around 323 square feet including the balcony and add a separate sitting area, sofa bed, second television, and a bathroom with a bathtub. That is a meaningful jump for three people or a family sharing the cabin.

Choose one when the sofa, tub, and extra floor space fix real daily problems. For two adults who are out of the room most of the day, the standard balcony often does enough.

A Mini-Suite balcony is not automatically larger than every standard balcony. Compare the exact outdoor layout with D425 or another extended Balcony before paying more just to sit outside.

For families with older children, also price two confirmed connecting cabins. Two bathrooms can be more useful than one larger room when everyone is getting ready for dinner.

A428 adds Reserve Collection dining to a Mini-Suite

Cabin A428 is a Category M1 Reserve Collection Mini-Suite for up to three guests, near midship on Deck 12. It has approximately 329 square feet in total, including an extended angled balcony.

Choose A428 for someone who strongly values predictable dining, minimal waiting, and a dedicated service team at dinner. On a longer Mediterranean itinerary, that smoother routine can become one of the premium features you actually notice every night.

Compare the Reserve premium with the dining benefit you’ll actually use. A428 has a useful balcony shape, but Reserve Collection should earn its price through the overall dining and cabin package.

If you expect to eat mostly in specialty restaurants, casual venues, or ashore, Reserve Collection has much less work to do. Keep a normal Mini-Suite or spend on a better balcony instead.

M723 is an aft Penthouse Suite for up to three

M723 is a Category S3 Penthouse Suite aft on Marina Deck, or Deck 15, for up to three guests. It has approximately 680 square feet in total, including the balcony; compare its plan with the other full suites available for your sailing.

Choose M723 for a special trip where you expect cabin downtime and will use the suite perks repeatedly. The aft-side location also gives the room more personality than a generic central suite.

The high aft location is the tradeoff, particularly if motion bothers you. Compare a lower, more central room before paying for M723’s space and suite benefits.

Price M723 alongside other available full suites before deciding how much extra room you need. A suite is easier to justify when its layout and included services will improve each day.

S309 and S310 are the two-bedroom Sky Suite splurge

Enchanted’s two Sky Suites sit on Deck 18 and sleep up to five, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and large panoramic terraces. Compare the exact suite plan with your group’s sleeping arrangements and the outdoor space you want.

The outdoor space is the extraordinary part. You get a huge wraparound viewing area, outdoor television, refrigerator, dining furniture, daybed-style loungers, and private Movies Under the Stars viewing from the suite.

Choose S309 or S310 for a multigenerational family or group splitting the fare. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms solve actual group-travel problems while the terrace becomes the private gathering place.

For two adults, compare the Sky Suite premium with a smaller full suite such as M723. The extra bedrooms and terrace are most useful when the suite will be a shared gathering place.

Cabin-booking mistakes to avoid on Enchanted Princess

• Paying for Mini-Suite solely to get more balcony: the six named Dolphin Deck extended balconies can be better outdoor values.
• Choosing L301 or L302 without accepting traffic: the larger angled balcony comes with a busy Lido-adjacent location.
• Buying Reserve Collection for the cabin alone: the dining experience is the main reason to spend.
• Choosing a high forward Premium Oceanview when motion is a concern: the floor-to-ceiling glass does not make the bow steadier.
• Buying a giant Sky Suite for two people who will barely use it: the category makes sense for groups and suite-centered trips.

Use the ship guides for the final location check, then compare the exact room with the cabin location advice.

Choose the upgrade that solves a real problem

For two adults, compare the six named Dolphin Deck extended balconies with a standard residential-deck balcony. Pay more only when the outdoor space and location are worth the difference on your sailing.

For three people or a family, move to a Mini-Suite when the sofa, bathtub, and extra floor space will help. Choose A428 when Reserve dining will be part of your regular evening routine.

For a full suite, compare M723’s aft layout with the two-bedroom Sky Suites. The best choice depends on your group size and how much of the trip you want to spend together in the suite.

Check beds, bathrooms, and accessibility before booking

For a full suite, compare the suite benefits with the extra fare, including which services the group will use. Separate bedrooms, another bathroom or a genuinely usable balcony can improve each day; unused floor space cannot.

For a family, compare the actual extra beds and bathroom count with two confirmed connecting rooms. For mobility needs, ask Princess about the accessible bathroom, bed clearance and route to the venues you will use rather than treating an ordinary large room as accessible.

Quick answers

What is the best Enchanted Princess cabin for most couples?

Start with a Balcony on Dolphin, Caribe, Baja, or Aloha Deck with cabins above and below. You can search D420, D421, D424, D425, D428, and D429 first because their extended balcony geometry can cost the same as a normal balcony.

What are the best hidden-gem balconies on Enchanted Princess?

The Dolphin Deck bump-out cabins D420, D421, D424, D425, D428, and D429 are strong picks when priced near a standard balcony. L301 and L302 also have extended angled balconies but trade quieter surroundings for a high Lido Deck location.

Is Reserve Collection worth it on Enchanted Princess?

It is worth it when the dedicated Reserve dining experience and preferred location matter enough to use throughout the cruise. Keep a standard Mini-Suite if the dining benefit is not part of your normal routine.

Which Enchanted Princess suite would you book?

Start with Penthouse M723 for two or three people because it gives a true suite experience without moving into the enormous top category. Choose Sky Suite S309 or S310 for a larger family or group that can use two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the huge terrace.

Before committing, use the cabin comparisons to weigh the room against the rest of your trip. Spend on the feature you will use each day, then stop upgrading when the next category only changes the label.

Practical final checks

Before paying, check the exact cabin’s category, bed arrangement, occupancy, bathroom, and balcony plan. On Enchanted Princess, an extended-angle Balcony, a Reserve Mini-Suite, and a full suite solve different problems.
