deecruzer Posted March 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have a balcony cabin booked for the Dawn in September. With the promotion offering cabin upgrades I see that I could get a mini suite for the same price if I cancel and then rebook. The only ones available are on deck 11 underneath the pool or the Garden Cafe. Has anyone stayed in these? I am concerned about the noise from chairs, bands, etc. We love to enjoy the quiet of the balcony and I don't want to lose this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Duncan28 Posted March 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I haven't stayed in one but just so you know, a mini-suite is not considered a suite which means you won't get all the perks of a suite if that makes a difference for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted March 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2011 We stayed in 11178 back by the spa. It was very quiet. BTW, shouldn't be called "suite" in any way. Only diff are: 1. A little extra room, 2. A curtain between the sofa and bed and 3. A tub instead of shower. The reason we chose the mini was there were 3 of us and all the full suites were gone. We really needed the few extra feet of space.

deecruzer Posted March 8, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks for the help- I knew it wasn't going to be a huge difference- just a little more room. I just heard from my travel agent and Norwegian has credited me back $160 because of the upgrade special which I am not going to use. The TA had to change my OBC only from $225 to $200 so it was worth asking. I'll take the credit and keep the mid-ship cabin not under the pool deck. Thanks again.

The main thing IMHO is to book a cabin you will be happy with. Upgrades and upsells are nice but I always book based on what I know I will like. I liked our mini suite. Had a great time and practically floated on air back to the cabin after the spa treatments I took. I got off Carnival Paradise yesterday in an Outside Cabin and I had a great time, as I did in '09 in an aft AC. To me there is no bad cruise.
