Rare KKB Posted November 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2023 We currently have an interior on the Regal Princess booked. It does not offer Oceanview rooms. Prices have dropped; we can reprice & save $500 or we could spend $100 more & get an obstructed balcony. We normally do not mind interiors as we are rarely in our room. But 7 sea days in a row+4 more between Lisbon & Southampton...imagine we could be in there a bit more (tho we are likely to be out & about the ship). We didn't book the balcony as we thought the weather might not be worth it...but I guess its warm out of FLL for a few days? And fairly warm in Azores/Lisbon/Balbao? Appreciate anyone's experiences doing a TA w/ an interior...and a balcony when cooler in the middle of the Atlantic for a few days. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloAlaska Posted November 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Does natural light make a difference to you? You may not sit on the balcony but I know on so many sea days I would thoroughly enjoy taking a nap with sun streaming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Von & John Posted November 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) We've done both interior & balcony for repositioning... And would happily do either interior or balcony again. For $100 more - we'd jump at the balcony - unless it messes up your perks/amenities. Edited November 20, 2023 by Von & John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGTNORMANDIE Posted November 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) We love the sunrises at sea as we are early risers. So a port side balcony would be just the right thing. Edited November 21, 2023 by CGTNORMANDIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted November 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2023 As on any cruise, the use of one's balcony is often weather dependent. Doing a crossing in late March into April will often find the weather warm enough to use the balcony on some days. We do a lot of those kind of crossings (will be on an O ship this March) and have often used our balcony for breakfast and relaxing in the late afternoon. If you get a little lucky, it will be warm for the entire crossing from Florida to Lisbon, They normally take a pretty direct route (staying south of Bermuda) which varies from warm/balmy to nasty-chilly. We love those spring crossings (have done it dozens of times) and normally do it (on various ships/lines) every year. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KKB Posted February 8 Author #6 Share Posted February 8 Got moved to starboard obstructed. Now have opportunity to move to Aft larger room & balcony. We could also snag a larger unobstructed room starboard side. Wouldn't Starboard be the sunny side when heading east? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
