Deluxe vs. Superior Oceanview on IOS

[jbklyn88]

Hi everyone!

 

First time I'm posting in a while, need advice or suggestions.

 

My wife and I booked January 13 to January 18th, 2018 on Independence in a Deluxe Oceanview hump stateroom on Deck 6. Is it worth the upgrade to a Superior Oceanview?

Depends on the price and location.

I’d keep your current stateroom. I love the convenience of the hump staterooms, and since it’s just you and your wife the size difference won’t make a big deal. And according to the RCI website, the balconies on the deluxe are slightly larger than the superior.

 

Are you center hump or at one of the ends?

Yup, we are dead center in the center hump on the port side. I read that too about the difference in sizes.

It is typically one cushion width of the sofa extra in the cabin itself.

I’d keep it; you’d be able to see all the way forward and all the way aft. We had three in a deluxe aft hump (the last on the hump, could only see back) on Navigator and it was great. Booked the same relative cabin for Freedom next spring.

I love hump balcony rooms. I wouldn’t change rooms unless it was to a hump on a higher floor. The difference in room size is about 15 sq ft. That would mean the stateroom is about 15-16 inches wider. That’s it. I’d rather have the hump and location such a slight difference. Often your balcony is a little bigger, and I love being able to easily see from the front to the back or the ship.

We just sailed IOS center hump on deck 7 (7338). We enjoyed the location, room and balcony size was perfect for us. I wouldn't upgrade unless it was a balcony with loungers (1400/1402/1600...etc).

I’ve seen these rooms mentioned often and they seem to be desirable but can you tell me what you’re referring to when you say “hump balcony”? Is it the side of the ship that juts out farther than the others?

Yes, the curved part that sticks out midship is the hump.

Those staterooms are desireable because of their convenient location and more dramatic view from the balcony.
