Debowah Posted January 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2015 We are booked on the Jan 26 sailing on the Ecstasy. We are booked in an outside cabin on the Upper deck. Got a GREAT deal for Florida residents. I just received a call from a Carnival rep offering to upgrade us for $300 total to a Grand Suite with Extended Balcony on the same deck. Has anyone ever received this offer? Do you think it is something to consider? It is a four day cruise, with one sea day. Thank you for your input.

Indytraveler83 Posted January 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The price sounds decent, but not great. It all depends on how much that balcony and extra space are worth to you. I'm on the elation in a month, and would likely turn down the same offer. My 2 cents anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debowah Posted January 14, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Thank you for your opinion. I am truly undecided. Looking for everyone's 2 cents :) Edited January 14, 2015 by Debowah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel2 Posted January 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2015 How long is the cruise? I think that makes a difference as well. If it was a 7 night I would take it because we use our balcony a lot. But, $300 is a lot of money to spend and only you can really decide. I'm sure it's a really nice room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulcimergirl Posted January 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I would jump on it, but it would probably be the only GS I would ever see. lol Good luck, have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkportersat Posted January 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2015 It's a nice room, I guess it depends on if you want to spend $300 or save that for your trip. If you have little ones and will be in the room a lot I would go for it. When we have our 4 year old with us I need a balcony for when I am stuck in the room. If it were just my husband and I, I would pass on the upgrade as we would be out and about more. Either way, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debowah Posted January 15, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sooooo we decided to go for it. It will give us an experience that we might otherwise not ever be able to afford. Day 2 is a Key West day from 7:30 - 1:30 and Day 3 is a Cozumel day from 1:30-10:30, so I feel that we will be able to "get our monies worth". Thank you to everyone that gave their opinion, it is truly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
