Allonsea Posted October 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hiya. My partner and I are planning our first cruise next year. We’re looking to sail out of Galveston for a 5-day western Caribbean cruise - just looking to get our feet wet really. We’ve never done a cruise before so we don’t know what to expect or what to prepare for. I’m thinking about booking a Valor Ocean Suite, but I’m not ready to pull the trigger on it quite yet. Is it worth it? I’d like for us to be able to have a nice breakfast on the balcony with enough space for coffee and fruit and whatnot. I understand that most staterooms are dollhouse sized, but it there much of a difference between a balcony and a suite on valor? I wasn’t aware that there were so many different categories of balcony rooms or suites. It’s all a bit overwhelming. Any advice or information that can be provided on the difference between them would be super helpful. Grayson Allons-y! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultrafighter Posted October 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Cruise Critic has *hundreds* of photos of all the different stateroom categories on just about every ship. I definitely recommend looking that up. Not here on the boards but in their actual website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has photos of Capitan suites, but I don’t see any of junior v grand v ocean. But then again I’m on my phone. I might be looking in the wrong place Allons-y!

I just googled Carnival ocean suites and the 4th link down was one with pics from the Valor (room 7175 I believe) and a lot of pics. We enjoy suites and have stayed in many OS on Carnival ships.

Sweetjaze Posted October 29, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I've been in a balcony on Valor and just got off Liberty in an Ocean Suite. Personally, I don't think the suite was worth the premium. Yes, the extra space was nice with 3 people in the cabin, but we've decided to book an aft balcony on our next cruise when it's just DH and I. The suite balcony is wider, but I think the depth of the aft balcony will be better for enjoying the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wave61 Posted October 29, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I prefer suites over a balcony because of the closets and dressing room area. I also like the whirlpool tub, not for a bath though, too small for that, just like showering better in them. The cabins seem bigger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
