Upgrade Question

[jennypuccinelli]

We got an upgrade notice! Yay! On the Coral from B330 to D617. Is there any reason we shouldn't accept?

Be brave. Do what YOU want to do.

Well now that you have gotten someone to pull up the deck plans for you:

 

DECK: down two, from Baja to Dolphin. Some would consider that a downgrade. Me, I like being closer to the indoor lounges over the Lido.

LOCATION: from mid-forward halfway between forward and midship lifts, to right on the border between mid-aft and aft noticeably closer to the aft lifts rather than the midship ones. On the Grand-class ships that would be a wash--but on the Coral being aft puts you further away from the MDRs and buffet.

ROOM TYPE: balcony to mini-suite. Even though I spend little time in the cabin having a sitting area with sofa and its own TV would be appreciated. A tub rather than shower is actually more difficult for me and most of my usual companions.

 

Don't forget that your DSC is also $1/pp/pd higher, $14.50 rather than $13.50.

As noted above, bottom line is that it is your decision.

Thanks so much. I don't mind walking, in fact the more walking the better to counteract all the eating and drinking! I think we're probably on the younger side for this cruise (46, 42 and 10) so mobility isn't an issue so much. The only downsides I see are being further back so more movement if the seas are rough, and that it also looks like there's a service corridor across from us.

 

I pre-paid the gratuities to avoid the last increase so I wonder if they'll just add the extra $1/pp/pd to my on-board account.

 

With 3 people for 15 nights the extra space would be great though.

 

We'll weigh the pros and cons. Thanks for your input!

With 3 people, definitely go for the mini suite. Plus on the Coral you will be near the aft door to the "secret" deck which is a wonderful place to enjoy the scenery.

That's my thought too!

I would take it in a heartbeat. Enjoy your cruise.

go with the mini suite for sure. D617 is a great location and a mini suite is a better cabin.

Congrats.

Dolphin Deck is better for stability than Baja Deck too. No reason not to take it. Congrats! :)

Personally I'd see that as a downgrade, but to each their own.

I think to me just the extra room makes it an upgrade. More space for the three of us.
