dreamr Posted September 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hello! I was booked in an inside stateroom for my cruise on the Getaway this weekend (!!)...until this morning, when I called the upsell number to see if I could snag a balcony. The lady said the only available balcony was 14700. I was at work and couldn't look at deck plans, so I accepted. However, once I got home and started looking at pictures, I noticed the first few balcony rooms don't seem to have an actual balcony with chairs. Of course, I start freaking out and searching every review I can find with that room number...and come up empty. I did find a very small mention of the officers' quarters being at the front of the ship, though... So to ease my mind, can anyone verify that the balcony under the red arrow is mine and not the balcony-less rooms forward of that? If I'm right and we do have a standard size balcony, I'm going to be so excited! Not to mention that it's a spa balcony (which the lady didn't mention)! This is going to totally make our cruise! :D Thanks in advance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger-91 Posted September 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) here's a discussion of 15700 on the Escape. Should be equal to your 14700? http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2333312 Edited September 30, 2016 by tiger-91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2016 You won't have any issues...you will have a full-outward view. You aren't steering the ship, so if you can't look forward, who cares! Your view will be so much better than the inside cabin you booked first...just go and enjoy!

I don't think I was complaining about the location? I'm perfectly fine with being forward. I just wanted to verify that we have an actual balcony! :P And I agree. Hence why I accepted the upgrade without seeing the deck plan first! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand and Seas Posted September 30, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Looks like a great deal. The use of the spa is worth about $200 per person. Can you tell us what you paid for the upsell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for posting. :) Thank you! :D Sorry, I didn't say small balcony I said Spa balcony but voice to text is not working well. Enjoy your spa balcony! I was just search on Google and usually find several good sources for cabin photos. Sent from my SM-N910T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomax Posted September 30, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I would be interested in this as well. We're booked in an inside cabin in a couple of months, would be interested in moving up a couple of categories, but not necessarily to a suite or The Haven. Thanks in advance, and congrats! Looks like a great deal. The use of the spa is worth about $200 per person. Can you tell us what you paid for the upsell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamr Posted October 1, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I paid $300 total for the upsell (inside to spa balcony). $150pp for the first two. We booked with the "3rd and 4th sail free" promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
