Good deal or not???

[beacha]

Just been offered upsell from regular balcony on Pride to 7301 premium balcony for extra $340. Is that a good deal to anyone? I never figured I would be called.

I wouldn't take it, if offered.

 

It's not like 7301 is a suite.

This is really your call only. What do you have and are you happy with it as is? What else can you do with the $340? Do YOU want to spend the extra on the cabin?

Tough call! Do you spend enough time on your balcony, to enjoy the extra space? If not, I say, pass on it. If you do, then by all means, JUMP ON IT!

 

We like to do coffee/sunrise on the balcony.

Room breaks throughout the day, on the balcony.

Sit on the balcony, after coming back from port.

End the night with a glass of wine/cigar, on the balcony.

 

:D:D:D

Thanks to all for such prompt reply. I know that they don't hold these "deals" too long. Guess I will think on it tonight.the cabin just looks so much bigger, and we are traveling with a group of 10 , most inside cabins, so I thought that it might be a nice place to invite folks for drinks and to relax together. This was the reason I considered it. I'm just not familiar with the pricing. Thanks again!

Agree with this...it WOULD be nice to have something slightly bigger, BUT if this is a 7 day cruise, it would come out to about $49.50 more/day for the 2 of you. Ask yourself if it is worth it! :confused: Have a great cruise!

If it were me, I'd pass.

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your opinions. That is a lot of money to be the pre dinner cocktail room!

So if you have 12 in your "group" (including yourselves) if everyone chips in $28 you would have your cocktail lounge! :D:D

With so many nice onboard locations for gathering for pre dinner drinks , I'd spend my $$ on that .

I personally don't have any experience with balcony staterooms, never had one.

 

So even a regular balcony stateroom would be a bonus for me, but given this scenario, I would not pay extra for the upgrade. Balcony is room is already good. And spend that 300+ on something else, ie steakhouse, or shore excursions etc. JMO:)

Hold out for an aft wrap around balcony cabin!!! ;);) Those cabins on Spirit class ships are AWESOME.

OP, I just googled: "pictures of Carnival Pride cabin 7301" and got a ton of pictures. Check them out and maybe it will make your decision easier! ;)

CrusinKaren, never thought to do this ! Thanks!

It's a fabulous room so I would do it. Bigger room and bigger balcony with a lounge chair as well as two regular chairs. Also right near the elevators. We are in this room next month on the Legend again.
