sailexuma Posted April 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hi! Just now received an offer ($199pp) to upgrade from our aft facing balcony cabin to a signature suite. What will be the difference? I was kind of looking forward to facing aft.... Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabinluvn Posted April 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Where are you going on the cruise? Panama Canal, I would keep the aft! Never have been in a Signature, so I can’t speak on the value or difference Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted April 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Forget the aft ... get the Suite. Call NOW! That's a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailexuma Posted April 19, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Forget the aft ... get the Suite. Call NOW!That's a great price. Okay, I looked at the pics. It has a ton of floor space. Do I care where it is on the ship? Or I won't have a choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorenceItaly Posted April 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2018 For 18 days probably. The extra space will be nice. Or, better yet, ask what the upsell for a Neptune Suite is. Let us know what you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most times, you will be offered cabin numbers but now and then it is a "guarantee". But, if you want it, don't waste your time reading here, book it. Others get the offer and will snapping it up. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may or may not have a choice. It depends on how many they have left and how soon you call. Other than the handicapped cabins, we would consider any Signature Suite in any location. Deck 6 or 8 doesn't really matter noise wise as some people claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbecker6469 Posted April 19, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 19, 2018 We just spent 10 days on the Zdam in a Signature Suite. Our first time in anything above a Veranda, and we are Spoiled! The extra room... bathroom, storage, two desks, room to walk at the foot of the bed, all make the Signature a great upgrade. For 199.00 I hope you get it before someone else does. Good Luck. On a TA, you will likely spend more time in your room than on a port-intensive itinerary, so the extra room will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailexuma Posted April 19, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Okay, I did it. I had this picture of more of a view looking out from my aft balcony, but after seeing the bigger cabin, and bigger balcony on the Signature, well.... There was only one cabin available, amidships, 6th floor, stbd side. Oh, and no Neptunes were available. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybear Posted April 19, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 19, 2018 For a TA I think you made the right call, midship just in case things get rocky. We did both an aft on Zuiderdam and signature suite on Noordam last year and if it had been panama I would have suggested the aft. Enjoy your greatdeal!

FlorenceItaly Posted April 19, 2018 #21 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just curious, did you book directly or with a TA? I've had a very positive experience working with a HAL PCC on my upcoming Alaska cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingastreich Posted April 20, 2018 #25 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A good deal (except those near the panoramic elevator). People in the glass mid-ship elevators can definitely see into your balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
