Keith & Rita.......about that Balcony cabin???

sailingrose · September 17, 2006

I just have to know what you thought of having a balcony???? Would you get a balcony cabin from now on??? Can't wait to hear all about it.

It will be in our review, which is almost finished. It was okay, however we seldom used it. We will continue to book outside staterooms.

Thanks, I was so curious and wanted to know before we left on Wednesday. Can't wait to read the review.

Sailingrose,

We kinda agree with Kieth and Rita. We have had a few balconies, but to us they are not that big of a deal. Except, goiing through the Panama Canal in May.

We only book Ocean Views when we are traveling to areas where there is really something to see that we have not seen dozens of times before on other cruises. We can be perfectly with an inside stateroom unless there is a really good deal on an Ocean View or Balcony. Our March cruise aboard the Carnival Glory is outside simply because I got a deal on it that was too hard to turn down.

We will be inside on our upcoming Crown Princess cruise. We have been to that area at least fifteen times, so looking out a window is simply not worth a couple of hundred additional bucks to us. Rather spend in on some "bling" in St. Thomas or St. Martin!! :grin:

So many different opinions here. Personally, we would never cruise without a balcony, but we possibly spend more time in our cabin than Keith & Rita or Skipper. Late at night, we return to the balcony, watch the moon on the water. During days at sea, I can usually be found on the balcony with a good book,

And that's what makes life so interesting! Wouldn't it be boring if everybody liked and did the same thing? Diversity makes the world go around! :wink: :wink:

I must agree with Cheryl here. We love our balconies and spend a lot of time out there, reading, relaxing and watching the world float by. To us, there is nothing better than spotting land while eating breakfast out there each morning and for some reason a nightcap always tastes better under the moon. Just our opinion.
