spintowin Posted June 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Is a Promenade cabin worth an extra 200 dollars over an interior deck 7 cabin. Anyone have any opinions on this category of room? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegima Posted June 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I can let you know in 3 months.. but I'm sure plenty of others have tried both. This will be my 3rd time on Freedom. The first 2 were in interior cabins on deck 9 and this time we'll be in a promenade room on deck 7.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Not worth $200 to me. I don't like the layout and the lack of privacy. But some might like the novelty of looking down on the Promenade and also feel less claustrophobic with a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted June 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Not worth $200 to me. Same here. I do like Promenade cabins and do generally prefer them to regular inside cabins, but I think that $200 exceeds my willingness to go for the upgrade. My limit is probably about $100 more.

Reijo Posted June 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2014 We always book promenade cabins when they are available and prefer them over a balcony. That said, this sounds a bit steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jndsilver31 Posted June 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2014 DW and I have only been on 2 cruises, our 3rd is in September on the Allure of the Seas, both of them have been on the Freedom of the Seas. Each time we booked a Promenade. We love them and would on book that or a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuki Posted June 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 9, 2014 We were on the Deck 6 and it was noisy. Wouldn't do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spintowin Posted June 9, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks for all the input. Think we'll take the 200 bucks instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurrSusan Posted June 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hmmmm....we booked a promenade cabin (deck 6) last week & it was the same price as the deck 7 inside cabin. We were in the same area (2 cabins over) last year on FOS & loved it! If you are over a retail store you won't be disturbed by noise. I wouldn't pay $200 more but, for the same price, I booked right away! Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstout Posted June 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I really don't like inside cabins (they feel too claustrophobic to me) but do like deck 7 or 8 promenade cabins or perhaps an ocean view if the price is right and you don't want to upgrade to a balcony. Some really like the darkness and privacy of the insides though. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted June 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I wouldn't spend an extra 200 bucks on one, all you're really getting is a nice view of the promenade. That's great for watching the parades, or if you get claustrophobic, but not worth that much money IMO. I'd only consider shelling out that kind of cash for a PR cabin if it were the "Ben and Jerry's Sweet". Due to it's location (overlooking the cow's posteriors above the ice cream shop) it usually comes with free Ben and Jerry's ice cream and Concierge Lounge access, which is a very nice perk.

Rare LMaxwell Posted June 10, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 10, 2014 $200 pp or $200 total? You do gain a bit of square footage and a second bench seating area. I have one booked, guess I'll find out. At the time of booking it was less than an inside, but that's rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted June 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Whether it is worth it, or not, would depend on just how much time you would spend looking out your window onto the Promenade....think of it that way.... After looking out at the parades, how many more times will you look out, once the novelty wears off, and you have to draw your curtain for privacy?

sunsetbeachgal Posted June 10, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 10, 2014 No not worth that extra charge...keep your eye on prices as they fluctuate. Like them better than regular insides but not nearly as much as balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
