Difference in Cabins

[CozGurl]

Newbie to NCL and the bidding things. We're on the Dawn later this month and could still bid on an upgrade. We're in balcony cabin 9212. What is the difference between a balcony cabin and a mini suite? What would we get that we don't get in a regular balcony cabin? And when you look at the bid slider thing it says only first and second person charged. If we bid $100 is that pp per day? Or just a straight $200?

Really the only difference is that bathroom has a shower/tub combo and there is a curtain that you can use to have privacy between the 'sitting area' and the bed.  There is nothing you would get in a mini-suite that would be any different than the balcony (i.e. no 'suite' perks as it's basically just a glorified balcony room.

If your bid is $100, you will be charged $200 total (not per day).

I believe the cabin is bigger as is the bathroom.

[don't-use-real-name]

Basically it shows up as more square footage in the bathroom and maybe a closet/cabinet or two.

Compare the square footage provided by cruisedeckplans

Your 9212:

Square footage 166 for the cabin and 37 for the balcony

For the average mini suite

Square footage 229 for the cabin and 54 for the balcony

wow the mini suite on the Escape is much smaller than the mini on the Dawn. I'll be on the small mini on the Escape soon. Even the balcony on the mini is smaller 😞

"Mini" suites don't get the full suite perks.  You get a larger cabin...that's about it.

On the Dawn the minisuites have a larger barthroom and sofa. The balcony is deeper and you can ask your room steward for a lounger and it will fit. The balcony also has an overhang from above (if you are assigned an MA category) which protects from rain and gives extra shade. The MB category balconies are the same size but no protection from sun or rain and the dividers are slanted giving you less privacy.

Difference in a balcony cabin and a mini suite is the bathroom.  The bathroom has dual sinks, and a huge (in ship terms) shower. Other than that they are pretty much the same cabin,

 

The bid wuld be a straight $200, it is not bid on a er day basis.

I think what you are trying to state is the bid will be $100 pp for the first two occupants of the cabin for the entire cruise.

Thus is would be an additional $200 total on top of the fare already paid. If adding a 3 or 4th guest if possible there

would be no additional charge.
