Mardi Gras Upgrade email.... WWYD?

[Clearwater]

Next May - Memorial weekend week infact...

 

Currently in a balcony room 9326. Received email with lots of options.  Higher level is an option but the one that caught my eye was a Cloud 9 Cove Spa Balcony.  It's on deck 5.  Spa and edge of comedy club above on 6. 

 

Does going lower on the ship help or hinder?   Do cloud 9 levels have less running kids late at night?  Thinking more adults on those floors?  

 

Is a cove balcony worth it?    Would you keep as-is or upgrade?  Cost isn't prohibitive so want the best if possible. Thanks

What is the upsell cost?  I like the MG spa but it doesn't have the fancy spa pool.  There are fewer kids.

Approx $190 for 2 of us.  It was a free cruise from the casino so not worried about cost.  Fewer kids is a BIG sell to me.

I liked the spa and the TPool - I would take the Cove Spa Balcony

Unless you were already planning on buying the spa pass, I would stay in your room. The Spa cabins only hold 2, so any cabin in the immediate area would not have kids, but everywhere else on Deck 5 is fair game. They could walk by your cabin on the way to the FWD elevators. 

 

I typically stay on lower floors just so I don't feel the ship as much at the top.

We actually love the thermal suite. Just realized they come with so it’s a win win. Would have bought them anyways.  I think we are going to grab it. Thermal suite is close, the bars I want to be in and comedy are one floor up and casino 2 up. Will be in those areas majority of time. 
 

Thanks!

Hope you enjoy! Sounds like a good move for your needs. Come back and tell us how it worked out.

Mardi Gras doesn't have the Thalassotherapy pool.

I would move from any deck 9 balcony or suite. Most of these cabins look down to a White overhang, so you can only see the ocean if you look straight.

I love cove balconies, and with this being a spa cove balcony I personally would take it in a heart beat.  Even without the T-pool I would do it.  

 

Have a great time.

So if not a T pool…. What is it? It’s in the thermal suite, it’s definitely a body of water and by the video (the ppl called it thalasotherapy) it had bubbles. Large jacuzzi? Mineral pool?

They might call it that on the Mardi Gras, but it's TINY. Not at all comparable with the T-pools on the Dream class ships.

Be careful that you don’t lose any other benefits from the casino. I would call and confirm. I have read of people losing drinks/funplay.

It is very nice.  I enjoyed it.  There was few people in it.

Great decision! Completely worth it if you take advantage of the amenities.
