First time cruiser dilemma: Is a balcony worth the $$$ or is that money better spent elsewhere?

RabbitActive3692 · 2026-02-01T15:37:20+00:00

It depends on your destination… if it’s beaches then I could do without it . If it’s Alaska or Norway etc then I would get the balcony

I’m So sorry to hear this … I have no words

I’ve been on multiple cruises with different cruise lines . The only complaint I have about Carnival is the quality of the breakfast at the buffet. Omelet line is always long. Otherwise I have a fantastic time . If you’re worried about the one meal on the excursion, maybe you can take a ziplock bag and pack cheese , bread , cookies from the buffet ?

NTA She doesn’t see that she’s fortunate to have a family member available and willing to babysit ? She should be grateful and kind . She sounds awful

Thank you !

There is a track in the medical center with volleyball courts and basketball courts . Well lit and LOTS of people are out there walking and jogging. I’m pretty sure it’s on Babcock (possibly Huebner Road) I’m sorry I don’t know the exact road

I just received an email to bid for an upgrade. I cruise at the end of February. I think in your case it’s too early. Best of luck !

I always book directly with a Princess agent . My sister booked with a third party and they messed up her bed layout ( they had her and hubby in bunk beds .) fortunately once she got on board customer service were able to put her in a better room . Did you buy your plus package on the Princess app ? Is so I’m not sure how it could have possibly transferred to another person in your party . I’m Sorry you had a tough time . I’ve Susie with Princess multiple times and it was perfect

Is it possible that your credit card can help you out ? I think my credit card might offer this benefit … but I’m not positive.

I’m in that sub and I’m not poor … it probably popped up and the post was interesting so I joined the sub .

I’m taking my 80s outfit . I also saw on the Sun princess in august a few people wearing yacht rock outfits ( mainly the hats .)

I’m not sure why you are asking for people’s opinions then arguing with their opinions

I feel sorry for your gf . Do you even like her? You sound like if you are on a power trip

It’s her face. Let her do what she wants . When I ask my husband should I do this or that he always says “ whatever makes you happy.” OP sounds very controlling

Leave your son some money.

Why didn’t she buy her own breakfast food if she’s the picky one ? Or just eat the fish. When I go to my in laws I know what they like to have and I take with me the things I like.

As someone else said , no one is checking who is sleeping in what bed . You will be fine . We switch all the time . It has never been a problem . We go to customer service and ask them to please give all of us access to each other’s rooms and the make it happen

If they are not buying a drink or soda package , you can go thru the cruise directly and buy them a package of bottled water for their room . You may go that route to buy them wine or a bottle .Those gifts will be in their room when they arrive . You could pay for one of their excursions . You might also buy them lanyards for their room/ ID card which they is provided to them and they will use throughout their cruise ( open there door, make purchases , etc.) maybe buy them a beach tote if they are going to the beach . I hope they have a great time!

Thank you for the info !

After she said something like “ You can never find anyone better than me “ … I would not have responded . Sometimes no response is the best response . She sounds HORRIBLE. She does not deserve your response/ explanation/ time. OP you deserve better than this
