Help! A first-time cruiser needs help on a room choice

[benny4045]

We are cruising on the Destiny the week of Sept. 23, 07. I upgraded to a aft cabin on the verandah deck. We're under the lido deck. Our deck wraps around and so we would see the back and side of the ship. I have read good and bad things about this room. :confused: Here's the deal, just checked on Carnival website and the suite guarantee price is the same as the what I just upgraded to. What would you all do? Would you stay in aft corner room or would you upgrade to a suite?

Depends on whether you'll use the balcony or the room itself more.

If you upgraded for the wrap balcony, definitely keep it.

If you read other posts on these boards, the Aft Wrap Around is very Desirable. How much time do you plan to spend in your room vs. on your Balcony. I hear the Balconies from the Suites are just as small as a normal room, but the Aft Wrap Around Balcony is huge.

 

If the Balcony is not important to you, then go for the Suite.

Thanks! We definitely will want to be using the balcony as much as possible. I see us spending more time there than in our room.

keep the room you will enjoy it, and have a chance for some great pictures.

Keep that room unless your really need the space.

These are suppose to be awesome. I didnt even know they existed until I read it on here. You can bet my next cruise I will be pricing it. the first thing I did when we say Glory was point out these rooms to my DH.

 

enjoy...love Destiny

Thanks again! I was so thinking that a suite would be cool but I think that I will stay put. I do know that it has a spacious deck and the room seems bigger than other balcony rooms.
