Rare PatandStu Posted November 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I booked a Bella inside & have just received an offer to upgrade. On the email it states my cabin number - I had no idea one had already been assigned to me! I like the location of that cabin if indeed this is where I’ll ultimately be. To upgrade to Oceanview is minimum $60 CAD pp. But those are all on deck 5 under or over potentially noisy areas. I’m concerned about claustrophobia in my inside so I’m struggling with my decision. But that $60pp could pay for an excursion. Dang, I don’t like being on such a strict budget! I’ve read fabulous stories of folks booking Bella interiors & magically getting a balcony! A girl can dream, right? What would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted November 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2023 How far off is your cruise? If you decide to pass, you might get another later on. We had a Bella gty balcony on Divina, over a lounge with live music. We could barely hear it. It became a game to discover which song they were playing…. I have an OV cabin on Seashore next month. There are no passenger facilities on the deck below. Your decision should depend on which ship you are on, and what type cabin they assigned you. If it is a triple or quad with bunks on the walls, I would grab the chance to upgrade. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PatandStu Posted November 25, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Cruise is 49 days away on the seashore on deck 13 aft. It looks like passenger decks above & below. But it also shows 2 black squares which means 2 overhead berths which I assume is quad. Why is that a bad thing? I don’t like it when decisions come down to $$ but that’s my situation this year.

Rare Essiesmom Posted November 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 25, 2023 You are in luck because on Seashore the bunks are in the ceiling. But on Divina they might be on the walls, which can mean bruised head, shoulders, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PatandStu Posted November 25, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thanks Essiesmom. still trying to decide on upgrade coincidentally, my boss just asked me to work overtime in December (in health care & closed for 10 days over Christmas so trying to clear backlog before then). Decision may have just been made! Overtime pay put to good use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomUser123 Posted November 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2023 It seems like a lot of Bella interiors get free upgrades to balconies around 10 days before the cruise. My advice is do nothing and see if the upgrade fairy strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PatandStu Posted November 25, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted November 25, 2023 In doing a quick search, there are lots of balcony cabins available but only 5 or 6 ocean views. Maybe I’ll cross my fingers and hope that MSc likes me enough to upgrade me free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
