One more cabin question

[mbw1024]

I have a chance to upgrade to a mini suite, GUAR AE, on Coral. It will cost me an add'l $140. I am currently booked in a mid ship, port balcony (C418).
If you were me would you make the switch? Pros and cons please!

Thanks

Mini-suites have full bathtub with shower, balcony cabins have very small shower only or so many people have said on this board.

I'd pay for the upgrade. We have done that twice and have ended up getting upgraded to an AA or AB--mini at midship.

We were in a alcony dabin on the Coral and yes they are very small showers, but we did enjoy the cabin. That said, if I was to do it again go for the mini-suite. In fact I am doing again this October but on the Sapphire. Mini suite, here I come.

As to the above it should read balcony cabin not alcony dabin. Good grief.

I wouldn't book a AE cabin on the Coral. Those cabins don't have balconies.

I would stay with the midship cabin on Caribe. We were in cabin C520 & the balcony was huge.

Is it true that AE has no balcony?
This will be my first balcony experience so I don't want to put that in jeopardy if going to AE means no balcony.

Thanks, all.

It's the AF cabins that don't have balconies. They are at the front of the Caribe and Baja decks.

Just curious, where do these "offers" come from? Your TA? Princess?

(Probably a dumb new guy question but just curious)

Happy Cruising

Our cruise is next month and our TA offered us a mini suite for the same as we paid for a CAT BB, The mini was a guarantee so we kept out aft BB which have nice balconies

mine didn't come from anywhere, really. I asked my TA what it would cost to move up to a Mini. My BF is on a kick to get to a Mini.

So, she told me I can move up for an addl $140 to AE GUAR. Otherwise, an add'l $480 to go to AC and have an assigned cabin. I can't swing $480 more. Unless BF wants to pay [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I stand corrected. The AE cabins do have balconys, on the caribe deck. There are only 4 cabins & they are in the bumpout.

The AF's don't have balconys.

Thanks Minette. How do you know that exactly? Do you have a Princess book or are you seeing it on line some where?

Thanks

Hi, mbw1024.

Just be careful booking a room on the front of the ship. The ship was rocking and rolling in the front on 4/1 cruise in moderate waves. My husband and I was in a room near the middle. We still felt the ship moving in the room.
