Lannybird12587 Posted November 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hello all, Just wondering if anyone knows how much of a difference there is in size of these balconies. We always do the deluxe but this time we have booked the superior size and we were wondering if there is a noticeable difference in the two. Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always do the deluxe but this time we have booked the superior size and we were wondering if there is a noticeable difference in the two. Thanks so much Very little difference in balcony size, like 2 square feet more in the Superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannybird12587 Posted November 20, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted November 20, 2015 wow so it may not have been worth the extra money then! :( But it is our vacation so what the hell lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2015 wow so it may not have been worth the extra money then! :( But it is our vacation so what the hell lol The inside portion of the Superior is about 20 sq ft larger, it's just the balcony that's not much different.

slyster Posted November 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2015 We got a superior balcony on our jewel cruise (sister ship to serenade). It felt wider than a deluxe, not as narrow. It's not a significant difference, but it didn't feel as closed in. At least that's how it felt to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted November 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2015 wow so it may not have been worth the extra money then! :( But it is our vacation so what the hell lol Depending on cost difference, the superior balcony cabin is larger enough that it makes a difference.

Desert Cruizers Posted November 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2015 We have always booked the Superior, however our last two cruises we have booked a JS, so now it is hard to go back to the Superior. Depending on cost, we would book a Superior again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj_eugene Posted November 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The inside portion of the Superior is about 20 sq ft larger, it's just the balcony that's not much different. At least for non-connecting rooms, doesn't the Superior have a full-size sofa while the Deluxe just has a love seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 20, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 20, 2015 At least for non-connecting rooms, doesn't the Superior have a full-size sofa while the Deluxe just has a love seat? That's the way it is on Voyager/Freedom class, but I'm not sure about Radiance class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Babe Posted November 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2015 We have noticed that the superior rooms seem a lot bigger than the deluxe cabins. Once we booked one thinking it wouldn't make a difference but it did to us. Enjoy your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Ditto. That 20-30 extra square feet does indeed make a lot of difference. But then again, as long as I have a balcony...I can squeeze into a smaller cabin if the price difference is considerable. ;) Of course the JS is usually the best choice for us with the extra room and double points! :) But with that being said, we have the huge balcony D1 cabin 9256 on our B2B Alaska cruise on sister ship Radiance. :D Edited November 20, 2015 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 20, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's the cabin that is larger...not so much the balcony. But..that extra inside space is worth it, IMO....a "deluxe" is pretty tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted November 23, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 23, 2015 on our upcoming anthem cruise, I had to choose between the deluxe and superior and I went for the superior. it's just two of us and the balconies are plenty big for two of us so having the extra indoor space made it more worth it to us.

That's the way it is on Voyager/Freedom class, but I'm not sure about Radiance class. The Deluxe on Radiance class only has the loveseat...I had a superior on Brillance with a full sofa...Deluxe on Jewel with a loveseat...traveled solo both times & even "I" noticed a difference in the size of the room...deluxe is smaller...couldn't compare on the balconies as I had 9256 on Brillance which is bigger than most Superior balconies...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted November 23, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 23, 2015 That's the way it is on Voyager/Freedom class, but I'm not sure about Radiance class. Loveseat only in the Deluxe and a nice full sized sofa in the Superior. I find the Deluxe to be quite tight - I haven't had to share one yet, but wouldn't be thrilled with the idea. The Superior's extra space makes it a lot more comfortable.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin4kicks Posted November 23, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 23, 2015 We did a deluxe the end of Sept on the Jewel and a superior the middle of Oct on the Serenade. Made enough of a difference to us that we probably won't be booking deluxe cabins again. As others have mentioned, the main difference in size is love seat versus full couch but for some reason, at least in our case, it made a huge difference comfort wise and size wise.

lobster129 Posted November 26, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have a question for ..Ander026 I have you down for the Poker Run with TWO people. If that is correct, could you please provide the first name of the person attending with you. (For the Name Tags I hope to print by Friday.)

sellwingri Posted November 26, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 26, 2015 We're booked in a Deluxe on our cruise in April and now wish there was some way to switch to a Superior but it appears the cruise is just about sold out. Does anyone know if a lot of balcony rooms become available when final payment is due? If so, I'll keep a close tab on it and switch. I still can't believe I listened to our TA instead of doing research. We switched from a European cruise and just let her make the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgb281 Posted December 5, 2015 #19 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Are the balcony chairs and table the same for deluxe and superior? We'd like to put our feet up. On some ships, there are footstools or a lounger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted December 5, 2015 #20 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The Deluxe on Radiance class only has the loveseat...I had a superior on Brillance with a full sofa...Deluxe on Jewel with a loveseat...traveled solo both times & even "I" noticed a difference in the size of the room...deluxe is smaller...couldn't compare on the balconies as I had 9256 on Brillance which is bigger than most Superior balconies...:D I agree that the full size sofa is much nicer. Sometimes I just like to lie down/stretch out on the sofa. I'm quite short, but the loveseat just doesn't cut it. It's more like an oversized chair.

cruzgryphon Posted December 14, 2015 #21 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Is the love seat in all E2 cabins (I have an E2 for next year on the Serenade on deck 8)? Is it 2/3 size of sofa in D1? Thanks, CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsccgt Posted December 15, 2015 #23 Share Posted December 15, 2015 We sailed in 9580 Radiance, which I believe was D1or 2. It had full sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted December 15, 2015 #24 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have an E-2 8314 on Navigator in the summer 2016, and I admit I was not paying enough attention when I booked those cruises. On RC so far we have been in GS, JS, GS and the last three in Superior D-1. Also on Navigator in winter I have E-1 7388. After I realized what I had done it was too late because the prices have skyrocketed. I bet I pay more attention to what I am booking from now on. DH and I so far have used our cabins quite a bit. I'm guessing we will spend more time out of the cabin in 2016 since it's a much bigger ship than what we have been on previously. At least that's my excuse. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy59 Posted December 29, 2015 #25 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi! Has anyone booked cabin E-1 7094 in the past? It is supposed to be a longer cabin that is located close to the elevators. We are cruising April 18, 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
