SuperDave817 Posted December 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2009 My wife and I are booked on the Destiny departing January 16th. This is our first cruise. We have booked a Spa Deck Balcony. I received a call today offering us an upgrade to a Suite on the Empress Deck for $480. Is the room and perks worth the money? We booked an ES rate which was very good and this would be almost 50% more than we originally paid. Any comments or opinions would be appreciated.

firefly333 Posted December 16, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2009 The only perk is VIP boarding if you dont already have it from being handicapped or platinum. Some consider the bathtub a perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnsawyer Posted December 16, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I would save your $480. You already have a cabin with a balcony which is the only way to go (in my opinion). Yes,k your cabin will be a bit bigger along with your bathroom but to me, the $480 is not worth it. In addition, it's only a 4 or 5 night cruise. You would have VIP boarding but again, to me I would save my $ and use it on tours, etc., Good luck in your decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdknw Posted December 16, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2009 We're on the same cruise, got the call about 2 days ago...we declined. We're saving $$ for drinks and activities! K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave817, We had both rooms two months ago (Suite then Spa balcony) and IMO you made the right choice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
