Hi

Sorry in advance if I posted this in the wrong section.   I haven't posted here for a long time. Last time I cruised was about 10 yrs ago.

I am looking at Symphony out of Rome on June 8, 2023.  If I go ocean balcony, there is only front obstructed views left on deck 8 priced around $3041 for 1 person.  If I go central park balcony, they are on deck 10 mid ship, they are around $3338.  How bad are the obstruct views on deck 8.  Is there any sites that can show what they look like?

Hi

On all of my cruises except for the upcoming one, I always stayed in an inside room because of the cost and because I am never in the room. One time on HAL, I booked an inside room but because a group needed my room, I was upgraded to an OV. I didn't find out until the day I was to get on the ship. It was a nice surprise because it was Alaska..

My feeling is that since I travel alone, it is expensive to cruise as I pay double. I always try to stay in an inside room so that I can have more money on excursions. Plus, why pay to stay in an outside or balcony if you are never in the room to begin with.

On the other hand, I booked an inside room almost 2 yrs ago for a cruise next month and prices have significantly dropped to the point that it was about $100 more to go into a boardwalk balcony. It was cheaper than OV. I opt to do this because I would have lost the money due to the price drop so I applied it to the balcony. A couple days ago, prices dropped again and this allowed me to pick a balcony cabin. This is my first time in a balcony room so I am not sure what to expect.

Thank you for sharing your review and pictures. I am leaving in a couple weeks. It made me more excited to go.

Thanks

Hi

I am leaving out of Port Canaveral in 45 days on Freedom of the Seas. I am flying in to Orlando very late Thursday night and stay in a hotel nearby the airport. On Friday, I will take the Cocoa Beach shuttle to Cocoa Beach where I will stay at International Palm for two nights. From there, I will take the hotel shuttle to the port.

I would really love to visit Kennedy Space Center on Saturday. I am not going to rent a car. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get there? Is there a shuttle or a tour company that would take 1 person from Cocoa Beach to Kennedy Space Center.

Thanks

Jennifer
