englishbird Posted April 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Had a very nice visit from the upgrade fairy this week. I had booked an obstructed view on Emerald Deck. I received an upgrade notice, which now has me in a aft balcony cabin on deck 11. Has anyone got experience of cabin B755 on The Ruby? Thanks :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted April 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Afts are the best! And to be upgraded from an Obstructed Oceanview to one is amazing!! Have fun! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countrygirl44 Posted April 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2013 That is a nice upgrade. We got an upgrade to a balcony aft on caribe deck last summer (from a balcony gty.) The balcony is larger and we did enjoy the wake view...that being said, my favorite location is the last cabin on the aft port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner22aa Posted April 28, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 28, 2013 We cruise exclusively in aft suites and love them. Love the noise of the wake and the view is unbeatable in my mind. Some have had minor complaints about more ships motion and thruster noise pulling in and out of port. It's never been an issue for us or any of my neighbours that I have spoken to. You are in a very quiet, low traffic area of the ship. Basically only the "locals" go there. I'm sure you will love it ""Once you go aft you'll never go back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we received true upgrades where when we booked OV and got assigned a balcony (some at the last day before the cruise started).

Kim_and_Scott Posted May 10, 2013 #17 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We were in B755 last Feb/Mar - it's very nice. It seemed pretty roomy (all things considered) - On the balcony, I believe there were 4 chairs (no loungers) and a couple of small tables. Great for sailaways and sunsets! Enjoy!

yoyosma Posted May 10, 2013 #19 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have had that cabin on either the Ruby or the Emerald and we loved it. It was our first aft Balcony. We did a bunch more after that then went on to the covered mini suites then back to insides which I also like when I go without my husband. You should enjoy it, it is very quiet except when the thrusters are firing mostly to dock or leave port. The wake is great white noise and I love the view. I think aft balconies are my favorite cabin really. Congratulations. The only downside I can think of is their isolation, they are a bit of a walk to anything. And the upgrade Fairy got me on Wednesday. We're doing a 14 day Alaska cruise and were upgraded to a Category BC balcony handicap room from a partially obstructed ocean view room. We are thrilled.

LuvinDisCruiser Posted May 10, 2013 #20 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Is there a certain time period which Princess offers upgrades ? Like just a few days before sailing ? Just wondering if there is still a chance .......... And, is there some type of dance ritual, prayer, or saying I should try, to get a balcony upgrade ? ha ha. Just dreamin' .............................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnstars Posted May 11, 2013 #22 Share Posted May 11, 2013 :( i'm on an Interior GTY and down to 17 days till Alaskan cruise and still no assignment. At this point I'm just hoping I don't get stuck somewhere shawdy. We are IF GTY so with the new categories it looks like that is limited to the Aloha deck? :/ Would be nice if we got moved to an OC but with no cabin assign, not holding out too long. Going to imagine me in a Suite using the "Secret". ;) It could happen, right? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo and Rob Posted March 13, 2014 #23 Share Posted March 13, 2014 How did you find out? Did you just see a change of cabin number on your personaliser or did you receive an email / phone call? I keep checking our personaliser but no such luck so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
