Help with Radiance balconies for booking

[lisad63]

My husband and I are planning to cruise the Eastern Caribbean in January, and are unsure which balcony to book. Is there a better side of the ship to be on? Also, we are looking at cabin 9000 (E1), 8526 (E1), 9654 (D1) or 8054 (E2). Anyone have experience with these rooms and can offer a suggestions?

Which ship?

Sorry, I just saw you were asking about The Radiance. I would go for a D category cabin, there is a little extra space and not a big price jump. The cabin 9654 looks like it has a larger veranda, although it is way back there. Personally, we prefer to be in the center of the ship, so it is really convenient to things. Deck 10 if you can get it, since it is only one flight up to the pool and Windjammer. What date are you looking at?

I've got 9000 booked on the Jewel in December - way up front! I'll let you know when I get back.

January 2nd is the date we have in mind. That is our anniversary.

Lisa, are any of the aft balcony cabins available? I think they're D-1's & up. If so, I'd grab one of those. The view of the wake is just wonderful. There are a couple of D-1's on Deck 10, and it is nice to be up that high. Of the ones you listed, I'd vote for 9654. It seems to have a huge balcony, so if you like to check out the view in comfort, that would be a big help. I would also prefer the extra space of a D-1, anniversary or no.:D

 

You're going to love Radiance!

Already checked on an aft balcony - they are already gone. We cruised in a corner aft balcony on the Rhapsody in April and it was absolutely wonderful. You are probably right about the extra space on a D1. I'm leaning towards 9654. thanks.

I would get 9654 booked. Keep checking a .com site and an aft may become available. I checked every day after I booked and voila', the cabin I REALLY wanted became available. Good luck and have a great cruise.
