Cabin question serenade of the seas.

[WillWorkForCruise121]

So, we had an inside cabin booked for a 12 night Mediterranean sailing on serenade of the seas. Today there was a drop in price and I called and got an upgrade from an inside mid ship cabin on deck 3 to cabin 8160 E1 balcony. The upgrade cost us $230pp which I know is pretty good. We have never sailed in an ocean view balcony cabin. I'm hoping it is money well spent on the upgrade.

 

They had also cabin 7156 available which looked to have a larger balcony but possibly a view obstruction.

 

I'm hoping I made a good choice. Does anyone have feedback on the location of these cabins? If I should've gone for deck 7, I may still be able to call and switch cabins.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice or reassurance.

I would stick with deck 8 so that you have passenger staterooms above and below you.

Those "larger" 7th deck balconies do NOT have the privacy of the smaller ones....the balcony divider doesn't extend to the outside railing, leaving lots of "visiting" space for you and your neighbors. About 18-24 inches is simply divided by a rail......so your balcony isn't as private as the others.

Keep 8160. 7156 has the roof of the Colony Club out in front of the balcony. It is extended, but it's not a balcony cabin that I would choose.

Spent a week in 8656 on Radiance [similar location to 8160 but starboard instead of port]. Great cabin --comfortable and quiet. Can't help with 7156.

Congrats and worth the extra $$, stay with deck 8. You will love the balcony, especially while cruising in Europe.

Thanks for the calming reassurances. I am feeling confident I made the right choice. I'm sure sailing into venice will be a whole new experience now :)
