zaytah23 Posted May 24, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I called up Carnival today for my once-a-month check and was told that the only possible "upgrade" to a room would be to one with a porthole window...this would be from deck 9 on the Destiny, where we were upgraded from a much lower deck. We took a $340 credit to be used on the ship or whatnot instead of this change...was this a smart decision or might we've been better off going with the porthole window at risk of being moved down a deck or two?

kmtjones803 Posted May 24, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I personally feel that my stateroom isn't the place where I plan to spend my vacation...I would take the credit and live it up in the bar, giftshop, photoshops, etc... Just my 2c though (I always book a guar inside, as I don't care where my room is LOL) Miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofzeke Posted May 24, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I would have taken the S&S credit, too. To me, a porthole window would not be worth $340. I think you did good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Turtle Posted May 24, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Inside to porthole vs. $$--you did what I would have done without even thinking twice about it. And, yes, I've cruised inside to balcony and in between. I would always take $$ back over any inside to outside non-balcony offer. Enjoy your cruise, zaytah23!

TanIslandGirl Posted May 24, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I would have done the same. I am only in my room to sleep & shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgasaway Posted May 24, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Unless you are going on a cruise to spend time in your cabin, I'd take the credit. Unless you a balcony, at night there isn't a whole lot of difference between an inside or outside cabin. Spend more time on deck SPENDING the credit!

Guest YesitDonna Posted May 25, 2006 #7 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I ahve had from Inside to Suite and I still don't care where I SLEEP. I would take the credit for sure! Good SCORE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted May 25, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Zay - Although I enjoy porthole cabins (that's what I always try to book; I don't do guarantees), I would jump on that OBC in a heartbeat! Hmm, the spending possibilities are endless.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdood Posted May 25, 2006 #9 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I would sleep in the morgue for the right amount of OBC! Only spend a few hours a day in the cabin anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaytah23 Posted May 27, 2006 Author #10 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Thanks for the responses =) Just a first-time cruiser here so wasn't sure whether the porthole might've been the way to go or not but I guess the credit was the right way to go lol Getting ready to spend away ;) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pholter Posted May 27, 2006 #11 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I would have asked for BOTH! :) There is still a possibility that you will get a better view regardless. If you're already on the Lido Deck, you could get moved to a balcony before you get your documents, so taking the credit was a great decision. If you need any help with the Destiny, I'd be glad to try to do that- she's my favorite ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
