Aurea Balcony or Yacht Club Inside

[sm9690]

Hello all,

 

After everyone's thoughts on this....

 

Would you book a balcony with Aurea experience or for £120 ($160) extra, book an inside Yacht Club cabin? It's a 4 day sailing

 

Thanks

If foregoing the balcony is not a big deal (it isn’t for us), then I would say YC all the way - especially with the removal of some of the Aurea perks.

 

Access to the Top Sail Lounge, better offerings in the restaurant and lots of space on the One Pool deck (which is compensation enough for no balcony, plus you can breakfast and lunch there, unlike on the Aurea private sun deck), not to mention YC has the PremiumExtra drinks package included all add up to a better value package than Aurea.

YC inside all the way; I really don't see much of an advantage to the Aurea experience since it has changed.

Even as someone who loves a balcony I would say the YC inside, I think Aurea is just a waste of money now with so few perks.

Yacht club inside for sure.  No comparison.

Without a doubt. Yacht Club. Also, since it's only four days you'll not have time to miss the balcony anyway. Yacht Club is a totally different experience both inside the cabin and outside the cabin. You will not be disappointed!

Yacht Club would be my choice.

Agree with everyone else! We would normally never consider an inside cabin, but if it were a question of YC or not we probably would. YC outdoor spaces are so wonderful and, even on a full ship, never feel overly crowded so we would be perfectly content to use those more if we didn't have our own balcony to use.

Yep. Yacht Club. We had the same choice for our 5 night coming up in December. We will miss the balcony (and need an alarm clock without the sun shining in), but having the Top Sail lounge and the more private pool and better grill outdoors won out.
