Lovefuninthesun Posted July 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not IMO! You can take another cruise for $1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not IMO!You can take another cruise for $1600 Very true. I can take that money and book our next cruise while on the ship. Those cabins are very nice. But we are not going on a cruise to be in a cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyDatknee Posted July 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Don't do it. I would only do it if you planned to book a suite. $1600 is a lot and that can be used for onboard expenses and excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted July 8, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2014 No way, José! Forget another cruise, consider the savings towards on board expenses, maybe some sensible shopping, etc., and the rest towards another cruise. Now, for $500 I'd do it, but not $1600!

OCruisers Posted July 8, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If the balcony cabins are in a decent location, I probably would not. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade is 350 a person. They are basically charging regular price. We are paying 750 a person now. It would be 1100 a person. So they are really saving us 150 a person to upgrade...

iceleven Posted July 8, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I would measure it by considering the length of the cruise, i.e., 7 days vs. 10+? and whether there are several "sea days" that you would enjoy that extra space and services. A port-intensive cruise would not merit the extra costs, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
