echo Posted September 9, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Naw, we have cruise both OV and Balcony. Depends on the funds when we book. But if money wasnt a problem, yes balcony all the way. Congrats by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelli Posted September 10, 2011 #15 Share Posted September 10, 2011 We've had inside, outside, and balcony cabins. We didn't use the balcony enough on both occasions when we booked one to justify the cost, so we went back to insides. That was just fine with us, since we like to be up on deck anyway. But we were upgraded just last week from our inside on the Pride leaving Sunday to... a balcony! I hope we use it more this time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof3cruisers Posted September 10, 2011 #16 Share Posted September 10, 2011 We would love to have a balcony on our upcoming cruise. However, the kids are going and we need connecting cabins and the ship we are on doesn't have any balconies that connect. However, DH and I have promised each other that when we go for the next one which will be for our anniversary, only a balcony will do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandms40 Posted September 10, 2011 #19 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm trying to figure out, I booked a ES rate and picked my cabin, the reservation page has my room number on it, but when I pull up my doc's, it says TBA, does this mean I might get a upgrade? Can someone tell me please! Thanks, Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlscruise2011 Posted September 10, 2011 #20 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I haven't even used my 1st balcony yet and I already know I'm going to be spoiled. I am booked in my first balcony in October and the thoughts of morning coffee on the balcony and relaxing there at night is going to get me hooked.

spunkie4 Posted September 10, 2011 #22 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Once you cruise with a balcony stateroom, you will never go back to the "inside". Our favorite times of the day are breakfast on the balcony, reading a book on sea days, and sitting on the balcony late at night enjoying our time together. Our first cruise was an inside stateroom. Both of us spent the entire cruise with a cold due to the cigarette smoke left over from the last occupant. Now, after 34 cruises all balcony, we just take a few cruises less each year to compensate for the price difference. I don't consider myself a balcony snob. Just fortunate to be able to cruise in a category that I am happy with. When we leave the room, we are just like everyone else! Enjoy your balcony.

krazy4kruisin Posted September 10, 2011 #23 Share Posted September 10, 2011 IDK. I have had both. IMHO, if price was not issue, balcony, but right now for my next cruise the cost would be $500 for us to upgrade to balcony, $300 for ocenaview..... We are keeping our inexpensive cabin and saving for our next cruise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARFISH*4 Posted September 10, 2011 #24 Share Posted September 10, 2011 when we booked our Dec B2B cruise the price was so low for a balcony that we couldnt pass it up even tho we are "Insiders"....so its our first balcony and hopin that we are really going to be able to ENJOY and take advantage of it!! OP have a GREAT cruise in your 'balcony' cabin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
