Frankie Sue Posted April 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2007 We are travelling on the Grand Princess in May and we booked inside cabins on the Baja deck. That is basically all that was available at a reasonable rate for that sailing. Has anybody been on an inside on the Baja deck of the Grand Princess who can give us comments on this type of cabin. This is our first sailing on Princess and it is a Port intensive itinerary. Also how is Princess with upgrading?? Any chances of that?? I look forward to your comments and any picture of that class of cabins would be great. Frankie Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B40 Tha Cruisa Posted April 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have stayed in inside cabins many times. They are more than adequate for 2 or 3, even 4(but it may get a little crowded). Especially for a port intensive cruise, you will be all set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted April 12, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I've finally convinced my DH that inside cabins are fine. When we first had an outside cabin, he said he could never go back to an inside. And then when we had our first balcony cabin, he said he could never sail without a balcony. That's when I knew I had to book us another inside cabin to keep him humble. It worked. I've found that inside cabins encourage us to get away from the cabin more. We don't spend time relaxing with drinks on our balcony, ordering room service meals, etc. But the difference in cost is usually enough to make up for this--and we're eating the same food, enjoying the same shows, etc. that we would be doing whatever our cabin is like. And one year, on our Alaskan cruise, we saved enough to cover the cost of a second cruise that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Sue Posted April 12, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thank you so very much for your encouraging replies. Now I feel better about the inside, anybody ever got an upgrade? Frankie Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginiaush Posted April 14, 2007 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2007 we've in inside and outside cabins, and now we chose inside because is a long and expensive cruise if we choose balcony...and remember some of the outside have obstructed view (that is not great :()...I think is a great deal if you can save for another cruise just going inside!

unfounded Posted April 15, 2007 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2007 My wife and I are on the Crown 6.17 and had booked oceanview rooms. I really wanted a balcony room so I called our trip advisor at Princess. (We booked online direct) I was able to haggle, i.e. "All your oceanview rooms are waitlisted and have gone up in price. We paid the full amount right away, no deposit. etc. She upgraded to a midship balcony room on the Baja deck for $300 more for the 9 nights. I don't think it was a bad deal at all.
