Wishing on a star Posted January 19, 2016 #27 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Enjoy! We sailed on the Ruby once, in a balcony. (lucked out on a larger Caribe deck balcony). It was amazing! You will love this cruise on the Ruby. PS: You will also be spoiled and never want to sail without a balcony again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted January 20, 2016 #28 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I got an upsell offer today for our March sailing on a 7 night Mexican Riviera from a mini to a full suite for $329 PP. It took me a nanosecond to accept it. You will like having a balcony, I've never sailed without one since they started having them about 15 years ago.

nyc12345 Posted January 20, 2016 #34 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Congrats on your upsell. Once you get a balcony, it's hard to go back. :D Find a good TA and you can save money on your next Princess cruise. Princess allows TA to discount their cruises. I save at least 10% on my Princess cruises! Have a great time on your balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredNTraveling Posted January 20, 2016 #35 Share Posted January 20, 2016 7 days ! We're taking the Ruby to the Mexican Riviera on the 7th Jump on it! We did on our 1st offer and then received up-sell for the next 2 cruise! Maybe an accident but why tempt fate! Just Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friscoonetwo Posted January 21, 2016 #36 Share Posted January 21, 2016 DW and I decided to do an inside on our last cruise on the Emerald last October. By the second day, DW said from now on we book a balcony. You will be glad you spent the $300. But be forewarned, as DW and I found our, you will not want to go back to and inside.

Socceric9 Posted January 21, 2016 #37 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Looking for some friendly input since this thread seems to be a good place to ask. Have a Deluxe Obstructed Balcony (E614) on the Regal 7 Day. Was offered a $149 PP upsell to a Mini-Suite. My question is do you think it's worth it. Is there any extra perks to taking a mini-suite besides the slightly larger balcony and room? My concern is I might get moved to one of those mini-suites under the "SkyWalk" area, which is probably worse than an obstructed balcony by lifeboats, lol. Thanks in advance.

Hi You can first check Princess website to see which ones are available and the cabin # of the ones you would accept. If you don't like the cabin they offer just decline.

When I called Princess to take their offer, I pulled up my Princess personalizer and typed in the stateroom numbers and I would quickly be able to check what deck was on and what is above it. 149$ seems like a awesome deal to me( I'd take it)..and from what i've read there are perks..but hopefully someone else can confirm that.

wblynch Posted January 21, 2016 #40 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I don't believe there are any extra perks with a mini-suite on Princess over a regular balcony. (perhaps better soap in the bathroom? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure of there was like tender or anytime dining priority or expedited boarding or maybe an opportunity to steer the ship (I joke, kinda).

Dawniepoo Posted January 22, 2016 #42 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Although it wasn't an upsell, we were booked in an aft deluxe balcony on the Regal for March. My husband is a diligent price watcher and noticed the prices for mini suites dropped. His first phone call to Princess he got the standard "new bookings only" answer to upgrading. He called again a half hour later and got a different person. This time we were able to get the mini suite for $100 more total!

(perhaps better soap in the bathroom? )[/QUOTE] We were upgraded to a mini-suite on the Crown last year. There is one perk: a glass of champagne in your room. (Actually, 2 glasses - one for each person.) Edited January 22, 2016 by damiross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallivanting Souls Posted January 22, 2016 #45 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I haven't had a balcony (yet), but have been on the Mexican Rivera cruise twice. You will love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
