Creator's Key Takeaways

My name is Andrew and welcome back once again to Title Horizons.

It may even save you some money.

We felt really connected to the ocean and didn't mind the cove aspect at all.

It almost pains me to reveal how good this room location really is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a Cove Balcony stateroom for best value without upgrading to a suite.
Choose a room near laundry, guest services, and kids club for convenience.
Be aware the bathroom motion sensor light stays on only 30 seconds.

Balcony privacy and viewThe Cove balcony is built into the superstructure but provides a great connection to the ocean; divider can be opened with adjacent rooms.

YouTube Video Description

Are you booking a cruise on Star Princess or Sun Princess and trying to decide which cabin gives you the best value without upgrading to a suite? You might be surprised—because my favorite balcony stateroom on these brand-new Princess ships isn’t where you think it is. In this video, I take you inside a Cove Balcony stateroom on Star Princess, specifically cabin 6307, and explain why this often-overlooked category has become my go-to choice. From smart storage and abundant USB-A, USB-C, and power outlets to a comfortable layout that works even with two adults and a child, this room delivers far more than its price suggests. We’ll walk through the cabin step-by-step, including the efficient desk setup, convertible sofa bed, mini-fridge perks tied to Captain’s Circle and Princess Plus, and a surprisingly spacious bathroom with a glass-door shower—no clingy curtain here. I’ll also share my honest thoughts on the environmental controls, lighting quirks, and what it’s really like staying lower and closer to the water. But the real reason this stateroom shines? Location. Deck 6 puts you steps away from Guest Services, Firefly Park Kids Club, the Lotus Spa, and the Enclave Thermal Suite—with no hallway noise or foot traffic. One deck up and you’re seconds from the Arena, Neon Grove, Underground Teens Club, Princess Live, O’Malley’s Irish Pub, and my personal favorite hangout, Good Spirits at Sea. The Piazza? Less than a 45-second walk. Best of all, Cove Balcony cabins are usually among the least expensive balcony options on the ship, making them a smart pick for cruisers who value convenience, comfort, and value. If you’re planning a Princess cruise and want to book smarter—not bigger—this is a cabin you need to know about. ---- CHANNEL & CONTACT INFORMATION ---- For the latest in Cruise News, Reviews and Specials, sign-up for our free, informative newsletter now! https://newsletter.tidalhorizons.com If you are located in Canada or the United States and would like travel planning assistance, please contact me using this form: http://contact.tidalhorizons.com For Excursion planning, use our affiliate link for Shore Excursions Group, experts in cruise excursion planning. http://excursions.tidalhorizons.com ** Please note unless otherwise noted, my videos are not sponsored either by the brands depicted or by other brands unrelated to the video. ** "Tidal Horizons - Cruise & Travel" is for informational and entertainment purposes.
