lindy sails Posted August 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2012 So glad I booked a BE Balcony guarantee. I was assigned a BA Caribe Deck mid ship on the Ruby for December. I usually book an inside cabin assignment. Can't wait-4 months! Lindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules59 Posted August 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2012 We booked an ME mini-suite. On this one we didn't want an upgrade. Just the type of cabin it is. If we didn't get this cabin, we probably would have marked it guaranteed. Congrats on your upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted August 11, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2012 We enjoy a Caribe deck BA cabin very much & actually prefer it over an uncovered mini-suite but we're probably in the minority to feel that way. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted August 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Congrats. You are really going to like that extra large balcony!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like a bathtub, so having that in a mini doesn't interest me. Two tv's? We hardly ever turn ours on, so definitely don't need two. What I like is the sofa, but can only get that in a small ship balcony cabin. Otherwise, the 1/2 and 1/2 balcony is our favorite too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthworm Jim Posted August 13, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The fact that for both my Princess Cruises I've been upgraded from the lowest category balcony (BG on the Crown P, BF on the Caibbean P) to a BA makes me think I must be paying too much. I'm guessing paying more for the same cabin might be a criteria that they'd use to determine who gets an upgrade, and I booked on the Princess website, which everyone here says cost more than a good TA. But if I'm paying too much, I hoping the upgrades are making up for it. (That is, I'm ending up paying less than I would have booking a BA cabin from a TA from the start) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you need the right TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted August 14, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I don't think the price you pay has any influence on the Upgrade Fairy. We went from an obstructed view to a deluxe ocean view on our cruise last week. They're the cabins with balconies at the front of the ship but no furniture. It was the perfect location for viewing the glaciers. And we booked after the final payment date at a price that is less than half of what Princess is asking for the same period of time next year.
