audekat Posted March 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I love inside staterooms. First because of cost, and second because I sleep really well in the dark...I love it. I am not a balcony fan because I get a little nervous out there, I like being up on deck but the balconies make me nervous for some reason. I am abivilent about ocean view rooms.

Skywench Posted March 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I prefer the wrap around balcony rooms. Depending on the ship, it may be a suite or a regular balcony room. They are my first choices. If I can't have one of those I want a regular balcony across the aft. No other location will do. I've nevet had an inside cabin and wouldn't consider one now.

marshhawk Posted March 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Porthole-same price as an interior but I get sun light! (I am claustrophobic) I've done the balcony twice and completely understand the nervousness. But with the price of a porthole, I can cruise twice as often.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuak Posted March 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Aft-wrap 9C or aft suite, as we love the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckirj1 Posted March 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I always wanted to sail in one of those family cabins with the huge windows on Spa Deck on the Conquest Class ships. Alas, they've turned them into balcony cabins, I think. Outside cabins on Triumph class and up are excellent values. For me, though, I've usually been in a 1A.

*Mach* Posted March 23, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2011 A balcony... pretty much anywhere. Give me a chance to gaze at the sea and I'm good... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferfoodle Posted March 23, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yep - gotta go balcony. Preference to mid ship, mid level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time2CruiseAgain Posted March 23, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2011 We were upgraded to an Aft Balcony last year on the Dream, and I have to stay, that is my favorite! All balcony dwellers seemed to form a little community - looking up and down the aft balconies communicating!! it was fun! lol I love watching the wake as we sail!

sandy toes Posted March 23, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Buckrij1 We sailed on the Triumph right before they changed the Spa cabins. We had one of the family cabins with the floor to ceiling windows. It was fantastic. I wish they were still available as it was the safest option with 2 small toddlers, that were always getting into everything. I cannot imagine them in a Bal cabin at that age! They were always looking out the window, little hand prints were everywhere. We even told the steward he did not have to clean them daily but he said he did have to so they we always shining when we re-entered the cabin.

Nezmo Posted March 23, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Suites. I like elbow room. Balcony of course - nice to be able to see the ports etc without having to be on deck or in a public space. Extra room to spread out and relax. I'm not claustrophobic in the phobia sense... just not a fan of small spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbanana1 Posted March 23, 2011 #12 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Only been on Fantasy class and inside fits our budget and is fine for me. I don't want to pay more money just for a window without a bigger sq. footage in the cabin itself. However, if I could afford it, I would LOVE to have a Grand Suite!

Martini Mom Posted March 23, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Prefer balconies, but often book OVs for cost reasons. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourtimenow Posted March 23, 2011 #14 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Being that its our very first cruise and all!!! In 3 days!!!!! Can't wait and most of all can't wait to tell you guys all about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Days Posted March 23, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have had regular inside, 1A's, OV and Balcony. For price you cant beat the 1A's....I guess my next preference would be the OV. I really liked having the natural light. I think a balcony is pricey for the most part, but I have been in one and am booked into another on the Triumph....I guess it just depends on how much money I have to spend when I book?

cruisy-suzy Posted March 23, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 23, 2011 My fave is Ocean View, love the price. We book early so often upgrade to a balcony w/o paying any more. :) Hoping we get to do that on Legend in June :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted March 23, 2011 #17 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Oceanview, lowest deck mid ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted March 24, 2011 #18 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Oceanview, lowest deck mid ship. Agree 100%! Definitely 6B's, lowest deck, midship, less rocking, large panoramic window, enough said! - We HATE insides - Balconies are OK but we don't use them enough - The one time we splurged and booked a suite, we considered it a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRaysfan Posted March 24, 2011 #19 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So far Ocean Suite, but I'm sure I would love a Grand Suite or a Vista Aft Wrap Suite on the Spirit class too! We do have a little habit going of booking port side as far forward as we can... Though those are my favorite I think at minimum I definately would need a balcony now...

ehfl Posted March 24, 2011 #20 Share Posted March 24, 2011 First choice is inside. Next would be balcony. Would never consider an outside/ocean view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted March 24, 2011 #21 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So far, our Cruise History cabin-wise, looks like this: Cruise 1: an interior on Deck 2. It was cozy! Cruise 2: a restricted-view outside cabin on Deck 8(no balcony) Cruise 3: a clear-view outside cabin on Deck 6(no balcony) Cruise 4: a freebie Balcony cabin on Deck 6 Cruise 5: a spacious wheelchair-accessible Balcony cabin, right up front on Deck 6 Cruise 6: a clear-view outside cabin on Deck 2 And booked now, to be cruised in the next 3 wks. a return to an interior cabin :eek: just to see if it's true that once you do balcony you can never go back. :) .

toby #1 Posted March 24, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Suites are my fave, been on three, but will settle for balconies. Our next is a inside, haven't had one in ages but will take anything as long as I am cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifCruiser1 Posted March 24, 2011 #23 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Balconies, aft they are so quiet. When I want cheap 3 day we can do a inside aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmccoy Posted March 24, 2011 #25 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Spa Balcony Rooms are the bomb! I love Balcony rooms...but I am allergic to smoke (any type of smoke so not a hit to smokers) and the Spa rooms are non-smoking. For me...it is a dream come true :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
