Allure ocean view with large balcony question

[bigal3967]

I just got a royal up offer and one of the categories is “ocean view with large balcony”. Which staterooms would this be?  Not a junior suite. That is a different category. Thanks for your help

It's category 1C and 2C.  The stateroom is the exact same size as the other balconies, only the balcony is larger.

 

They are the cabins on the two humps.

What do you already have?   If you already have a regular size balcony I would recommend to stick with it.

We have over 50 nights on Oasis Class. Always a hump balcony on deck 12.  If you enjoy sitting on the balcony the extra space is nice.  If you already have a balcony any thing over $10 - $15 per night would not be worth it to us.

I agree, unless the OP plans on spending tons of time on the balcony, or if the centralized location of the hump cabins makes it a more desirable cabin location as well.

 

I would add, however, that with today's occupancy rates, successful Royal Ups are getting pretty rare. Not impossible, but definitely the exception rather than the rule.

We have an inside balcony overlooking the boardwalk about on deck 12319. We are not willing to pay the extra for the large balcony. We bid $65 each for an ocean view balcony but are happy either way.   Thanks for all the help.

That would be a  1A, only a handful of cabins found on decks 7 and 11.  On the deck plan it is called a family balcony.
