curlytoo62 Posted June 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi everyone. I have an aft balcony on the Ecstacy and am considering upgrading to a suite. I am interested in your comments? Verandah unobstructed? GS on the Upper? Thanks in advanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieastrosfan Posted June 17, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I haven't had one of the Verandah suites, but I've seen them, and IMO, they're not worth the money. On the newer ships those cabins would be a standard balcony cabin. And the balcony is crazy smal, and not private. We had an ES on the Ecstasy (one of the GS cabins with the extended balcony), and I will never not book the ES again if it's an option - that balcony alone was amazing. It's a lot of extra room compared to a standard balcony cabin, and the ES has one of the biggest balconies on any Carnival ship. Its worth depends on how much more it is for you to upgrade. We love aft cabins, but I'd choose that ES anytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenms2000 Posted June 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2010 we had a GS on Fascination(sister ship) last month and love it. it wasn't and extended balcony but still had plenty of room(70 sq ft). the room itself was 345 sq ft. we got the upsell fairy call about a week before we sailed and upgraded from an OS to the GS for $250. well worth it from what i've read about the OS cabins on the fantasy class ships.

parrotthead Posted June 17, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I would not give up an Aft for a suite, not on the Ecstasy. (Love that ship) we have a sweet Aft booked for 2/2011 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTxCruiser Posted June 17, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2010 We were in V3 on the Ecstasy and it was not worth the money we paid......especially to be considered a "suite"(I am very short and my little legs fit perfectly on the balcony, but my hubby...that was another issue:eek: )....that was before she went into drydock and got her new balconies........we have an Aft balcony booked for Feb and I wouldn't trade it for anything.....thinking it will be great.....and a heck of a lot cheaper than what we paid before.
