vswan Posted August 6, 2022 #27 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Traveled for many years in an inside cabin with an occasional upgrade to an OV. Since the cruise restart I have opted for balcony cabins. Not because I was unhappy with inside or OV, but because I was concerned about being quarantined in my cabin and wanted access to fresh air. Yes, I know that those testing positive are generally put into different isolation cabins, but on some lines it sounds like that is changing and still feel more comfortable with my own outside space away from the crowds. Would it be worth $1000? For me that is another cruise, I would need to think hard on it. Perhaps wait until closer to the cruise and the price may go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can get a interior room for a 1000 cheaper. We have never been to Cabo but have been on 15 plus cruise to the Caribbean. We was wanting to go somewhere different and was looking at going this Oct. I would say not necessary. We had a balcony (on NCL Panama Trip in November) and didn't use it at all other than in the Canal -- and that was too hot and humid there! It was nice as a big window... Over twenty years of cruising, I discovered that my husband does much better with daylight in the room. So no more insides! And like @vswan, I currently am booking only balconies due to COVID. Not only in case of quarantine, but just to be able to relax in our own space. But that's for you to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like a “ is cheers worth it?” .. to answer a subjective question like that you have to go by your experiences to give an opinion . If someone just said Yes a balcony is a must ! Without explaining why wouldn’t be very helpful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinto18 Posted August 7, 2022 #36 Share Posted August 7, 2022 But also, to answer the OPs other question, Whale "season" is usually Jan through April or so October probably not the best to see whales 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted August 7, 2022 #37 Share Posted August 7, 2022 For $1,000 more, I would put that money towards another cruise, but that’s just me. There’s no way I would spend that much more on a balcony, I would just hang out on on the open decks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovesparky13 Posted August 7, 2022 #38 Share Posted August 7, 2022 No, balconies are never a must on ANY cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted August 7, 2022 #39 Share Posted August 7, 2022 For us it's all about the price differential. On the cruise OP has planned and at the price he's mentioned our answer would be a huge 'NO WAY'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6aces Posted August 7, 2022 #40 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I have read your question closely. The answer is no. Since you spend the majority of time out of your cabin, no. How many people look out a window in a hotel? All you see is the ports and maybe the tip of baja . You have been on enough cruises so you know.
