Stateroom advice?

[rickechambers1@aol.com]

On the fence...which would you book?

 

Inside Category 1A on Splendor, cost for two $733

Wraparound Balcony 9C on Splendor, cost for two $1733

 

I realize this is comparing apples and oranges...One side of me says the balcony will change the dynamic of the cruise...other side says that the extra $1,000 would do the same...in a different way.

 

Finances have changed dramatically downward as compared to the 5,000 SF Garden Villa on NCL days. Now THAT was a cabin beyond compare.

 

Thanks for input!

I believe most 1A's are a twin bed and the sofa twin~ so if you are going with your significant other than you should probably book the 9C so you can sleep in the same bed, if that's something you want to do~;):D

You might also price a PT if you need two beds, and that way you can see out for a 4A price.

 

I love 1As just for solo cruises. I would save the aft wrap for when times are less lean.

You haven't had an inside cabin in over 10 years. Are you sure you will be okay going back inside? I'd save the money but hey, you gotta live with yourself.

Why the two vastly different stateroom types?

We just got back from the Valor. We had a balcony for the first time...once we had an oceanview, the other an interior room. We enjoyed the balcony room so much that we will never go interior again. It is soooo different having the sunshine and open air at sea. Enjoy!

Honestly, I cruise just to get away. My (recent) ex, typically required a high end room (preferably with butler on a cruise ship so as to eat ensuite). Now that it's just me (and friends), it doesn't really matter...I think that the anticipation leading to a cruise is so much fun...I think I'll go with the 9C as that will be more fun to look forward to. Also, those rooms book quickly...you can always get an inside cabin, but not always a wrap balcony. I've never had an aft cabin so it should be fun.

 

Thanks!

When it comes to the extra G to do other things with, I'd opt for a cheaper cabin. To me, the cabin experience is so minimal compared to other things that you can do on the ship or at a port. Think about the photos you will take. Will most of them be from your stateroom?....or will your photos be of places and things that you experience along the way?

 

I've only cruised twice and had interiors both times...and both times had an excellent time on my cruise & vacation. On this next cruise, because of the great deal, I opted to splurge a little extra (only $200 more) for a balcony cabin. I am a bit nervous about really falling in love with a balcony, I am pretty convinced that the stateroom really has little to do with my overall cruise experience.

There are many many categories between those two you know .... just sayin'

 

Why not go with a basic balcony?
