Did we make the right decision?

We have the aft cabins 9320 and 9318 on the Breakaway. Our TA called the other day and asked if we wanted a free upgrade to mini suites on the 12th floor mid-ship. We only had a few hours to decide and we told him that we would keep our aft cabins.

Did we make the right decision?

Yes.

[cliffd64]

Yes.... In this case the aft balcony cabin provides a nicer experience (in my opinion) than a mini suite mid ship.

You did the right thing :) We had aft facing deck 9 balcony on the Getaway and loved the location. Very convenient to the action on decks 6, 7 and 8 and a peaceful stern view for when you want some down time.

Most definitely YES. :)

We had 9318 on our Bermuda trip and it was great. Good sized room and huge balcony. You won't regret it!

I would second all the people who said yes. Unfortunately the mini suites come with zero suite perks so IMO the aft balcony is way better choice! All you're missing out on is a tub, and I'd rather have the balcony.

BIG balcony beats bathtub any day!

The aft facing balcony is a great room. You made the right decision

Both your cabins have great balconies. We had 9318 two weeks ago. Here are some pictures, not taken by us. Very quiet and near the aft elevators. :) Both cabins will be exactly the same of course. The one next to 9320, 9322 is narrower.

Here is a video of 9318 on the Getaway, which is exactly the same.

THANK YOU everyone! We love aft balconies on all ships - and the view...spectacular! Never had a min-suite before and if it's only plus is a bathtub, I can live without that!

(If you ever have a chance to go on Celebrity Summit's corner aft balcony - you can party with 10 people comfortably on it!)

My parents have 9320. Janetz do you think the balcony divider looked as if it could be open?

One week away...NOW I'm really getting excited!!

[janetz]

It can but I am pretty sure they do not open them. Never hurts to ask. We had a sail away party of 8 and there was room for more. Enjoy, its it the perfect spot. :) We had 9322, the narrow balcony, but switched when I noticed 9318 open up.

Aft cabins are very nice; the only advantage i can see to the mini suite; mid ship is convenience. I think you will be just fine. Bath tubs are nice, but a lot of people do not even use them. We had an aft facing cabin on HAL one year, it was awesome: big, nice and quiet>

Yes thanks! Your pictures got me excited when I saw the cabin. I have them saved. :D

We just got home from a fantastic Aft-Facing Penthouse on the Getaway. We are booked in a mini-suite next year on the Escape and are calling our TA tomorrow to switch that to an Aft-Facing Balcony room. I think you made the right call:D
