Just got the upsell call - should I?

[satbeachbill]

I just now got the "upsell" call. We are in a 4E Upper inside midship cabin #6287 on the Splendor. I usually pick this type. Nice and quiet, no kids running up and down the halls - ever.

We've never had a balcony. The price to upgrade to an Empress deck midship Balcony was offered at $270 total.

What do you think?

Opt for the balcony when you can. It's probably our favourite part of a cruise.

[MaiTaiMary]

I would :)

[LindseyButlerWilson]

I would for a balcony. We loved ours on our last cruise and would jump at a $270 upgrade on this next one.

Go for it. Once you've had a balcony you'll always want one.

[LUVS2CRUZE]

I would :p

So not true. The few times we've had balconies we rarely used them, even when in suites. Last cruise was in a 4K, next cruise is in an OV. We've even booked window suites on Princess.

 

OP, it's a cheap enough upsell to try it out and see for yourself.

Same for us. One cruise a year, so far, and love having a balcony.

[bradboy]

I love the balcony but sometimes Id rather spend it on board

That's the problem. Cross that line and you can't go back. Don't do it.

[gladimhere]

enjoy trip whatever you do

[goduckies05]

I enjoy both balconies and insides

If I can get a good deal I go with a balcony. If not no big deal.

Not true. I like balcony cabins but I can do without. If it costs a lot more I wouldn't do it. I woukd rather use that upsell money as my gratuities or onboard spending. It also depends on ship and length of cruise/ports of call. I have sailed more times without a balcony than with but the occasional great deal on a balcony is worth it sometimes. Just keep in mind they might put you in a not so desirable location if you get a great deal on the balcony. Check the cabin layout map before you commit either way. Balconesure are nice though.

My mom and I love balconies. My mom, however is more spoiled than I am and won't even consider the scenic ocean view. Lol

We always choose same the category as you.Our last cruise we splurged for a balcony.Now my next cruise is in a balcony cabin. I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I did.Just be aware that once you do a balcony it is hard to go back:)

That's what I'm afraid of............:o

[katiel53]

I would go for it! We only sail in balconies and we would not sail at all if we couldn't get one. Now, before someone goes off and flames me, my husband is very claustrophobic and he needs the balcony to be able to cruise. The cabins are too enclosed for him, so he goes out on the balcony often when we are in the cabin.

 

I do think we spend more time in the cabin because of having a balcony as I also enjoy sitting out there as opposed to sitting out on the deck. YMMV.

[tkportersat]

I would personally, but if it isn't important to you and you like the location of your room then stay where you are and save the money for other expenses during your vacation.
