antsp Posted February 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2017 i have had an upgrade offer from Princess for a midship Caribe deck balcony, is this the best choice or I could go to Bahamas for slightly less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted February 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I assume this pertains to a Grand Class Ship and that "Bahamas" was an auto correct for "Baha". If so... The decision depends on your wants and needs. The two cabins will be identical except for the balcony which will be much, much larger on Caribe with both a covered portion and an open sky portion. If balconies are an important feature for you, then I would pay extra for the added space. But if a balcony is something you just walk out onto once in a while, save your money.

antsp Posted February 18, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Sorry for the lack of detail, ship is the Crown, and baha is the other option. Caribe was the original offer Edited February 18, 2017 by antsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckntom Posted February 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2017 No question . . I would choose Caribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrack Springfield Posted February 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2017 We love the Caribe balcony. Great location mid-ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior lady Posted February 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I always try to book Caribe balconies. Love the fact that they are half covered for privacy and weather. The other deck is actually Baja ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mek Posted February 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Another vote for the Caribe balconies - very spacious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare philv Posted February 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Mid-ship Caribe is best location on the ship IMO. We have tried all over. Lido is pretty cool because you are close to a lot of stuff. But if you value balcony, Caribe is best. We have Caribe balcony mid-forward for 8 day eastern Caribbean on Crown coming up in March. 3 at sea days and I can't wait to camp out on balcony with a book and watch the flying fish come off the bow wave. It's going to be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted February 18, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Made the move, plaza deck to caribe. £120 approx $140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted February 18, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Made the move, plaza deck to caribe. £120 approx $140 Excellent choice if you want a balcony rather than an inside or oceanview, one of which I assume you had if you were originally booked on the Plaza deck.

Bruinboy Posted February 18, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Loved our balcony on Caribe. Nice and spacious. Great for our two weeks around Cape Horn. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted February 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Definitely Caribe because the balconies are much bigger, and half covered/half uncovered. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted February 19, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Slightly aft of midship on Caribe is, IMO, THE BEST cabin location on the Grand Class ships! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesah Posted February 19, 2017 #18 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Caribe balconies, for sure. They sell out fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted February 19, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If having a rather large balcony is important to you, Caribe would certainly be an excellent choice. Then again, if you only need a smaller balcony area (which is enough for two straight chairs/small table), another deck that saves you money is something to consider. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzyL Posted February 23, 2017 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Somehow we lucked out on our very first cruise and ended up with a Caribe balcony. Yesterday we returned from the 15-day Hawaiian cruise on the Star where we original booked an inside cabin for the first time. But when we received the email from Princess for a balcony upsell and found a Caribe balcony room available, we abandoned the inside cabin!! Love, love, love the Caribe balcony (as far aft as possible preferably). You definitely made the right decision...enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
