Upgrade offer?

[uneamie]

We just got an email from NCL that offered us an upgrade from our Family Balcony to basically any of the cabins above that catagory. The only one that seems affortable to us was the "Spa Balcony"on deck 16 mid ship. Has anyone been on deck 16 spa balcony? My concern is "what's above us" on deck 17. It looks like the "raceway" not totall sure. Anyone with info for that location of cabins? Oh and do you think the Spa balcony is worth going for. The upgrade was only $100 per person.

Knowing the ship is helpful, and what cabin specifically...

Looking at your signature op - we are talking about the Prima yes? And deck 16 spa cabins?

 

Yes indeed I would at least for now avoid the deck 16 spa cabins until I would have heard from quite many people if the deck 17 Galaxy Pavilion caused any disturbance for the deck 16 cabins that are partially below it. I tend to usually shy away from all cabins that are directly below or above any kind of high activity area (gym, club, pool etc).

Yeah...sorry I should have mentioned that. It is the Prima....and they don't assign the cabins when they make this offer. That gets done later so you have no idea where it's gonna be.

Yes it's the Prima, deck 16 spa balconies....I have a feeling I am not going to put a bid on this offer. We have a midship family balcony on deck 10 right now and there are no issues with above or below us on that cabin. I was thinking on deck 16 there is a possibility of being below the "race track" and we'd be hearing those race car motors all day long. Not that we are in our cabin all day but I don't think it would be a peaceful time out on the balcony.

They're electric, with added sound effects that you probably won't hear on your balcony.  What you're more likely to hear is the reaction of the structure to the cars driving around the track.

Does it include the Spa Passes if you upgrade?  That may make a difference too.

Yes, If you get upgraded into a "Spa" Cabin, you get access to the Thermal spa.

I sailed on Prima last week. The cost of a thermal spa pass for the entire 7-day cruise was $339 per person. In case that’s helpful in your upgrade offer decision.
