Rare KKB Posted October 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2022 The Regal Princess does not have OV. It is $700 more total for a balcony over INT. We don't mind INT...but DH said for $700 get the balcony. Is it worth it other than a bit of daylight? We are rarely in our room anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Worth it is a personal choice If you do not use a balcony much then save the money for other things Depends on the route you take as well we did NY to Southampton via Canada ..mid April 2019 it rained, snowed & we barely opened the door to the balcony the whole trip YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the air temperature was chilly, a sweater, windbreaker, cap/hat would be what I would wear. Still too cool? Get a deck blanket and curl up in that.

Rare Mary229 Posted October 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I enjoyed a balcony on a transatlantic otherwise I rarely use them. Balconies are usually cheap upgrades on transatlantics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelexpert35 Posted October 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Personally I would take the balcony. You can certainly sit out there on the crossing if you dress warmly. Is it a 12 day cruise? So it’s about $58 per day for the balcony. If you can afford it go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FlaMariner Posted October 20, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2022 We require a balcony for trans-atlantics or any other "lots of sea days" cruises. Not required on "lots of ports" cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a balcony. We did this same passage in 2018 and the trip across the Atlantic was like going across a lake with the sun shining every day. Morning coffee on the balcony every day is a real treat. See you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted January 2, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 2, 2023 This is a very individual question. Is it worth it? To me it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuker Posted January 20, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Or choose an inside that is an easy walk out to an open deck. Either an upper sun deck or perhaps the promenade deck, lower down near the lifeboats. Edited January 20, 2023 by Canuker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
