Can You Say Vista Suite, Yes!

[apdchief]

Always wanted to book one of these rooms and finally we did it! We booked Room 7298 on the Pride for next April. The Pride will be dry docked this Fall and have the 2.0 upgrades done. This is our first Spirit Class ship and this is our first suite, we have always had balcony rooms. Hope we can go back to a balcony room if need be?

 

Any input on these rooms would be appreciated.:)

I would also like to know since I just booked one on the pride for May 3rd cruise. By the way what are the 2.0 upgrades?

[Fitzget]

Congrats on the Vista Suite! If we happen to have any significant price drops on our cruise, I would use it to upgrade rather than OBC.

 

You'll love Pride, and even more I imagine with the 2.0 upgrades.

These rooms are awesome and the balcony is huge. On the Spirit class ships the bedroom is separate. Awesome score!

Wow! So Pride is getting pretty much ALL the 2.0 upgrades? That's way more than Legend got! I'm actually surprised they're able to put all of those upgrades on a Spirit class ship!

Yup, I copied and pasted it from the email from my PVP.

That's awesome! I hope Miracle gets the same upgrades, although I'm sure if she does, they're take her out of LA. We never get the good ships. lol

Is there a difference between a grand suite and a vista suite....just curious!

 

The biggest difference is the cabin and deck sizes. The VS cabin is 245sf and the balcony is 220sf. The GS cabin is 300sf with a 115sf balcony.

If you enjoy balconies, the 4th floor is the best. It is also the best value room in the fleet (for suites).

We are very much looking forward to room 7298 this summer on the Pride. Besides the balcony, the biggest plus for us is that my stepson (13) will have his own "room" and TV, and we'll have our own area and TV. A little extra space goes a long way!

I like balconies and suites are nice if the price is right. The 4th floor vistas are nice at least the ones I have seen have a nice overhang for some shade.

We had this cabin on the Miracle last Thanksgiving. We book it for that very reason. Parents have their own room although the door does not lock. :eek:

 

The balcony is great, but it is uncovered!

Some guy above didn't see me ( or maybe he did) and decided to throw the ice in his glass over the railing. I looked up and said "really dude". He apologized. Dork!

 

Enjoy your cruise and awesome cabin! :)

Is the Vista Suite considered VIP ....when I Had a wrap around aft on the Victory it was not considered VIP and the cabin was quite small.

On the Spirit class ships they are considered suites and when you book them they are classified under suites.

 

On other ships they are under balconies and are called premium vista suites.

That's where we made our mistake should have done more research on the aft wrap it was very disappointing...we really enjoy VIP boarding.

We stayed in one on the LEgend. Not only the things you say, but the bed faces the rear of the ships and all those windows.... Spectacular!

The aft wraps are very nice (especially for balcony lovers). Nothing like a Vista Suite though.....

Sweet!!!

 

We booked our first VS in the cabin directly above yours for August, 2015. Our boarding passes do say "Priority", btw.

 

Enjoy your suite!

[camper49]

We hope to have a vista suite in Jan 2016. Waiting to see what becomes available as it is a little soon to book i think. A vistor suite for our 25th carnival cruise and our 40th anniversary!!

[TPFKAH]

Not on deck 5. It's just one big room.

 

Deck 4 is the only deck that has a covering. All the other decks are open to the elements, including thrown things, soot, rain, sun, and even prying eyeballs.

Absolutely the best. HUGE balcony. Full overhang.

What about the deck 6 grand suite (Pride)? Is it covered?

 

We scored one from the upgrade fairy!
