I don't have a balcony stateroom, but have heard nothing but good things about one. I would've loved to get one this trip, but price-wise it wasn't in the cards since I'm travelling with only one other person. I figured that since it's both of our first times going on a cruise, there would be no expectations if we went with the Inside Guarantee Stateroom. Who knows... we could get upgraded to a better room. :D Thanks for the cruise.com link... very helpful. You got an awesome price (we're paying approx. $600 for a 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise, I couldn't find any less expensive ones around that time.) I'm looking forward to the 24h room service... lol I'll be sure to purchase shore excursions at port-of-calls in order to save some money for sure. Thanks again! :) And Lyndsey, I'll be sure to take lots of photos! Thanks for the tips Isaiah! I don’t have a balcony stateroom, but have heard nothing but good things about one.

Peace and blessings... My wife and I were married on the Carnival Triumph; if you do not have a balcony... you need to upgrade to a balcony immediately. Trust me, if you don't you will "wear the ship out" before the 7 days are over. When you have a balcony, you will be able to enjoy your stateroom, along with the 24 hour room service (food & beverages ...they'll slide a menu under your door every morning around 2:30am) and the spectacular view from your private balcony. A balcony is worth the extra $100-$200 upgrade. My wife and I will not cruise any other way. A site that I would recommend that has the best deals for future reference would be: www.cruise.com My wife and I purchased a 7 day cruise (with balcony) for only $700 total (for the both of us). Also, when you get onboard... be sure to purchase a "drink card"... this will allow you to have unlimited juice such as freshly-squeezed apple, orange, pineapple, and coconut juice. The drink card costs about $30 per person; however, all fountain drinks are free. We just prefer natural juice. Oh one more thing, don't purchase any excursions from the ship... get these once you get to your port-of-call. You will save yourself anywhere from 35%-50% compared to the ship prices for the excursions. Peace and blessings be unto you... Fair Winds and following seas... Isaiah Namaste.

Peace and blessings…
