In praise of Spirit class 9B premium balconies

[barante]

   We will have a premium balcony on the Pride's eastbound trans-Atlantic in April. I am ecstatic because today we made it a B2B by booking the very same cabin for the previous cruise, a four-day Tampa to Cozumel sailing.

    The Spirit class ships have only six 9B cabins, premium balconies. Additionally, they also have two 9As, which are obstructed premium balconies. Each has 230 sq ft of space plus a double-length balcony.  So you effectively get a near-suite with a substantial discount.

    Here is a great review of a 9B on the Legend. Favor's cabin was underneath Lido and had some unexplainable noise issues. Despite her caution, we grabbed a similar Legend 9B last Christmas. Yes, some noise irritants  but not a deal breaker. We just wanted more space and a big balcony.

     Our cabin on the forthcoming B2B is on deck 7, so no noise issues expected. Please note that while the 9Bs are next to elevators, elevator noise is not a problem.

     For my money, 9B cabins are the way to go! (And since we are Platinum, we'll have free laundry).

Shhhh....please don't let this best kept secret out. 😉 Other than the Vista suites on deck 4, these are the best cabins on Spirit class.
