SavFam06 Posted October 19, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The offer: $40 per cabin to upgrade from Inside to Oceanview Just prior to that we received another upsell offer to get on a higher deck for $20 each, but still have an inside room. If you were to spend $40, would you use it for a higher deck or for an ocean view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rksmom Posted October 19, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Oceanview for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZchieffan Posted October 19, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Oceanview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted October 19, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I'd take the ocean view, 40 bucks is about as cheap an upgrade for a room I have heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsalljimmysfault Posted October 19, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2010 OCEANVIEW!!! Sounds like a pretty good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted October 19, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2010 OV, I wouldnt pay to just move to the same inside cabin on a higher deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisebie Posted October 19, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I would use it on the oceanview upgrade. That sounds like a good deal to me. If you upgrade to a higher deck for the inside, the room will still be exactly the same, just a different location on the ship. With the OV, you are adding something to the room that you don't already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler353 Posted October 19, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Moving to another deck same cat is not an upgrade as far as I am concerned. Moving from an inside to and OV for $40 in not a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamt Posted October 19, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 19, 2010 For inside cabins you want to be as LOW as possible. The lower you are, the less movement you're going to feel. I'd echo everyone here and go ocean view. Once you have it, it's difficult to go back to inside rooms. We made the fatal mistake of getting a balcony 2 cruises ago. Now we don't even look at the inside/oceanview price....it's balcony or no go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollylew Posted October 19, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I really appreciate your input, as a First Time Cruiser I am clueless! I would DEFINITELY go for the OV. Will it be on the same deck as your inside cabin? On my 1st Paradise cruise we were upgraded from a PT on the Riviera deck to an OV on the Empress deck. Maybe ask if you can go on a higher deck? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we don't even look at the inside/oceanview price....it's balcony or no go! This is one of the reasons I am scared about booking a balcony...that I might never look at an OV again!! :eek: I have yet to try a true inside (PT's don't count - which is what I booked for my next cruise) because I like having the natural light and the ability to see outside. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyW Posted October 19, 2010 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Oceanviews are great! We have done inside, oceanviews and balconies. They all have their advantages. Either way, oceanview or higher up, it's a great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango55 Posted October 19, 2010 #16 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I just called about our booking on the Glory for Dec. 5. There are no oceanviews left, and to go to a balcony from an inside was going to cost $443. Too rich for my blood! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's because I'm not a sit and look at the scenery kind of person. I'd upgrade to the OV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavFam06 Posted October 19, 2010 Author #19 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I did it! Initially I took the offer and had them book me in a midship OV on Empress deck. At home I looked at the deck plans...right underneath the Galley! So I called back to go one deck lower than Empress (Upper) and still got my Oceanview, now above and below me are cabins. That's the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger belle Posted October 20, 2010 #20 Share Posted October 20, 2010 oceanview for sure...sounds like a good deal you got, SavFam...it was $40/night for the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavFam06 Posted October 20, 2010 Author #21 Share Posted October 20, 2010 SavFam...it was $40/night for the upgrade? $40 one time payment from Inside on Riviera to OV on Upper (could have had Empress, but didn't want to be below Galley!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthierry Posted October 20, 2010 #22 Share Posted October 20, 2010 That is a great offer. I got a similiar email to get a 6E OV from an PT. I took the offer yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
