FoghornLeghorn Posted January 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Would love to hear your opinions on which cruiseline has the best/spacious cabins for the price. I've sailed on Princess and Disney. The princess ships I've been on have not had a sitting area/sofa in their balcony rooms. However, on Disney the balcony room did. I'm considering trying a different cruiseline this year... (not interested in an inside cabin....I'm kind of clos...clostro.....closstroph......errrr.. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE OUT):cool: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted January 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I like Carnival. Their cabins are 185 sq ft. If you get an Ocean-view on deck 1 or 2, the rooms are a bit bigger, with a sofa and coffee table, since they incorporate the space that would have been balcony into your room.

Springwater21 Posted January 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2011 all the balcony cabins on NCL have a sofa area.or at least the Star and Sun do. We just booked a suite on the Star, its 409sqft. with a luxury bath. You should check them out..we have been pleased. Also we get suite perks, butler and concierge service.

We love the minis on Princess. Lots of space with sofa and chair, nice bathroom, good balconies. Can"t stand sitting on bed!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted January 28, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Biggest is Carnival -- at least on the Ecstasy. Bathroom showers are bigger than most home showers. Best bang-for-the-buck for me then is a 5-day Carnival in December or January excluding holidays, inside cabin category 4A or 4B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April-in-NC Posted January 28, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Don't forget that stateroom size varies from ship to ship and category to category. A balcony cabin on RCI's Monarch and Oasis are going to be very different both in size and ship features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we had a sofa in both balconies we've been in on NCL Jade, so we presume all the Jewel class ships are the same. The aft cabin had a massive balcony, with a full length sunbed. Jo.

caribsun Posted January 28, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Depending on the ship, Carnival offers a oceanview @ 220 sq ft. with a sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted January 29, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I don't care what type of cabin you have, the best bang for the buck all depends on the itinerary and your travel partners. We prefer a balcony cabin at the very least. We did cruise last month in an inside cabin (first time in several years) and didn't care for it. We thought it took away too much of the cruise experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought it took away too much of the cruise experience. Ya know I'm sorta the other way. On our cruise in Feb. 2010 we were upgraded from an inside to a balcony. Very excited as it was our first balcony. After we got home from the cruise the DW and I discussed our trip. Our consensus, enjoyed the balcony, spent no more time in cabin because we had it, one of our sea days was too cool and too windy to use it.We thought that we would rather use inside cabins as the lower price allows us to cruise more often. Reckon thats why people like cruising, something for everyone.:) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to get a inside room with easy access to the outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
