Ocean View Balcony vs Superior Ocean View Balcony - Anthem

[Susan in Maine]

Just got the "Royal UP" email for our Anthem cruise in April.

 

What is the difference between these cabins? Is it worth bidding on?

 

Thanks!

The bidding page lists the cabins and their descriptions.

Thanks. 

I guess I was looking for a more subjective answer.

In my experience a superior balcony stateroom would be on more desirable decks or close to the elevators.  Some ships I've seen superior staterooms listed as aft balconies as well.  Room sizes typically are exactly the same in these two categories.

Thanks.

 

I'm trying to decide if it is worth bidding for the superior, and if so, how much.

I would not bid, the difference is minimal.

I agree the 1D and 2D categories only have a larger balconies but the same amount of space or area inside as the other Cat. D balcony cabins.

What is the cabin category designation you are being offered to bid on as Superior Balconies?

 If the 1C, 2C or 4C Large Balcony categories, these actually have less space or area inside than the D categories, 177 vs 198 sq.ft.

Thanks everyone. You pretty much confirmed what I thought already.

Since I'm happy with the cabin I have, I decided not to bother.
