ocean suite vs. balcony


Sunshine-lady

Recommended Posts

We had a suite on the Liberty. A lot of room. We had empty drawers and closet space. We didn’t need a power strip. There was a plug in the dressing area and one out in the main room. It is going to be difficult to go back to a balcony. The priority boarding was a plus.

We had an ocean suite on the Triumph in January. It was great. Whirlpool bathtub, loads of closet and drawer space and a big room.

 

It will be a let down to go back to a balcony on the next cruise. The

priority boarding and debarkation was also very nice....

On the Liberty we had priority boarding but not debarkation. Ask your Carnival cruise planner what the perks are on your chosen ship. If you chose a balcony. On the last day of your cruise when every one is out of their cabins, walk around and ask the cabin stewarts if you can go in and look at the suites or any other type of cabin. It is a good way to spend some time waiting to get off the ship. We were allowed to see them.

VIP embarkation and debarkation (if you want/need that). Early embarkation is nice to be first on the ship and beat the crowds.

spacious bathroom off dressing room not off hallway

deep whirlpool tub with lots of space to shower and sliding glass doors

multi-bar towel rack in tub good for hanging wet/dripping clothes

extend a line clothes line also good for clothes drying

dressing area with extra counter space, mirror and an extra outlet and about 4 or 5 drawers

2 closets as well as 4 big dresser drawers and a few small ones in the dressing area

space to move around the room even with a sofa and a chair

mini-bar fridge (which apparently you can have items removed and use it for your own drinks) and lots of shelf space around the the safe.

wider balcony with 3 chairs - great if you have more than 2 people (could put a 4th chair out there)

 

Can you tell we loved our suite? lol. Sure, we weren't in it a lot, and it would've been even nicer if we had sea days, but when we were in it, it was so nice to have everything tidy and put away and not be tripping over stuff or each other, ya know?
