Cabin upgrade advice please

Hi all

We are on azura to the caribbean and I've just recieved an upgrade. Actually not sure it is an upgrade. Can any of you experts advise please

We were on b deck 719 and we are now on a deck 515. Is there any advantages/ disadvantages to being moved

Regards Karen.

Well there both have cabins above/below which is a good thing.

The one on A deck is midships, so possibly more stable than the one aft.

Never been on Azura but looks like an ok upgrade to me.

One way of getting some idea is go to P & 0's website open up Azura's deck plan page and look at the positions of the two cabins and what the grades are, that way will sow if they have upgraded you or just moved you. But by the numbers looks like an up grade and a move from the back to midships I have just looked at the plans and looks like an upgrade from grade GC to GA. We have sailed on her twice and she's a nice ship

although most people think of an upgrade as from one type of cabin to another-outside to balcony lets say, P and O view is that fore/aft to midships is an upgrade. At least it is on the same deck. Sometimes the fore/aft to midships happens ,but to a different deck.

Yes cabin configure will be the same but change of deck and move more to the middle of the ship, and you must try Sindhu, the food is to dry for,

We refused our upgrade and now always tick the box to say no upgrade. They moved us from an inside midships with bath to an outside foreward with shower only. Did not consider it an upgrade simply to have a window when we only change and sleep in our cabin. We were told our original cabin had already been given to somebody else. We stood our ground and after a lot of hassle managed to get our original choice back. To us an inside midships cabin on a deck with say the restaurant or theatre on it means no light, no sound ,no movement and less queuing for lifts, and if I can get it I also like my bath.I also look at the deck above to see whats above . Below the shopping mall is good because they are closed at night,below the jogging track is bad.No engines. No rattling balcony doors or rain lashing on windows for us. Its a science you know;)

Most companies have grades catagories withn cabin types.

IE an OV midship will rate higher than an OV towards the bow or aft [usually reflected in price] likewise different decks will often be different categories, depending on what is above or below them. You however may have a different view.

I am now pretty particular about my cabin, mainly because of some health issues and what I would once have regarded as an upgrade I may no longer view in the same light.
