Beach Ball Posted July 31, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi! We're on a back to back on Indy. We have a hump cabin on deck 7 (E2) for both cruises. Would you move 4 rooms down (D1) for the second cruise to save $600???? Of those that did move on a back to back I'd appreciate any helpful hints. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted July 31, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2013 For sure. Slightly larger cabin and $600 to spend!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 31, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It's not a big deal to move on a B2B, especially when they are paying you $600 to do it. Just pack up everything that is not hanging in the closet. The stateroom attendant will move your bags and hanging items to the new stateroom.

mjldvlks Posted July 31, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2013 As a committed price snob, I would absolutely move -- and the D2 will be slightly bigger. On our TA on Independence we were originally in a D1 center hump on 9 and got the opportunity to move to a guaranty that cut our ticket price more than 50%. As a committed price snob I spent about 3.2 seconds wistfully thinking about what it must be like to be in the center hump cabin before agreeing to the switch. We were ultimately assigned a D2 just aft of the hump, also on 9. We ended up just a few doors from where we started. We loved the cabin and the location and we never looked back. And as Clarea says, moving is easy. Your cabin steward will do most of the work, you just need to put all of your non hanging items back in you bags. Edited to add: I can show you pictures of our D2 on 9 if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debshomespun Posted July 31, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I would also move...$600.00 is alot to have extra to be able to spend. We have moved cabins on B2B and its not so bad...especially since you are saving that much money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted July 31, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2013 For $600? In a Heart Beat!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddcan Posted July 31, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ditto on the "YES". You still have a balcony. You will have a 3 person sofa (couch/chesterfield) instead of a 2 person loveseat. You have $600 in your pocket. Yup..I'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul65 Posted July 31, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Would I change to a larger cabin for $600 less money? I'll have to think about that one..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamfo Posted July 31, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I would also move. Our last b2b we moved 4 doors down the hall for the same exact reason bigger room and savings. It was not a big deal. We jut met our new cabin Stewart during the week as we went down the hall and everything was quick and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted July 31, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Add me to the list of those who would move. For just a small amount of effort to change rooms, the $600 can go a long way towards your onboard expenses, excursions, or your next cruise.

Ourusualbeach Posted July 31, 2013 #15 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In the blink of an eye. As others have posted the cabin steward will do most of the work. We did a B2B2B booked at the last minute and had cabins on deck 2, 4 and 6. Moves were easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Ball Posted July 31, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just got the moved approved by my TA. I was all for it as soon as I saw the price. My husband said "He does not want to have to move a thing. It is my job." For $600 and I hope than less than 25 minutes I'll make the move. Thanks for all the good advice.
