igo2travel Posted April 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2010 We're currently booked on an Ocean View, Fun Select, December '10, Southern Caribbean cruise, which doesn't require full payment and has a refundable deposit up through October. Plane tickets for San Juan have been purchased and paid for. It appears for $229 more, we can have a balcony if we do Fun Saver, which has a non-refundable deposit, but as I said, the plane tickets are paid for, so it appears we're a go. So does anyone have any arguments or opinions on why this would/wouldn't be a smart change. The cruise is port intensive, but I have teenagers coming along and sitting out on the balcony in the morning with my coffee waiting for them to get ready sounds like a better vacation than not one but am I really only looking at the disadvantage or not having a refundable deposit but gaining a balcony for $229?

gwe21 Posted April 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Could you wait a bit and see if prices go down? I am assuming you are on the Victory? We were going to upgrade to a Balcony from an OV and pay the 200+ difference, but I waited and was able to get the balcony for the same price as the OV.
