to upgrade or not to upgrade?

[minidog]

I will be sailing on the Radiance next month and my cruise date just had a drop in price!! I called Royal and they offered to upgrade me to a bigger balcony room: E1 Class ( I am currently in E3 class in a balcony hump room) on the same deck or recieve a $27 credit. The new room would be located next to the AFT rooms, the last cabin on the side. Would you take the credit or upgrade for a bigger balcony?

We don't like the E1's towards the back of deck 7 since you can't look directly down at the water due to the cover over the tenders. If this doesn't bother you then you should choose the bigger balcony. Personally, I would stay in the E3 hump cabin and take the credit. BTW, we feel the best E1's on deck 7 are the ones forward. Larger balcony and you can look straight down at the water.

All E's are the same size, regardless of the 1,2 or 3 with it! Keep your hump!!!!!!

Keep the hump, it's a great location and convenient to the stairs and elevators.

It's not an upgrade if you're in the same catagory (E). In fact, I'd consider it a downgrade moving off the hump. I'd take the reduction in price unless I could move up to a D or JS cabin with a good location. I'd stick with my E cabin on the hump vs a D cabin in a different location in most cases.

E1's are not larger than E3's. Keep your hump cabin!

Sneaky, sneaky RC CVP!

 

Agree - keep your cabin. Take the $27. Drink. Repeat. Drink.

I agree. Stay with the hump E3 or go for a front E1 on deck seven.

Here is a rear deck seven E1 balcony with that cover that blocks the downward view.
