Downgraded from 5B to 6A

[DisneyPrincess]

Will I regret it??
On the Magic 9-night Mediterranean cruise this summer.
Saved $1800...both were guarantee rooms so I don’t know which stateroom yet.
Tell me I didn’t make a mistake

You saved $1800, you won't regret that!

Very true...I’ve been in 7As, but never a 6A.

I haven't been on that ship but based on my single cruise I have been on looking at the layout of room categories I would almost prefer the random chance of the 6A rooms vs the 5B rooms.

Disney giving me $1800 to have a better chance at a great room is a win in my book.

You did not make a mistake. I prefer being at the ends of the ship rather than in the middle, as the hallways are quieter and the nearby elevators are less crowded. Of course, with a Guarantee room, you could end up in a Category 5 anyhow, at a lower price than if you'd originally booked it.

That’s kind of what I’m thinking...I know I’ll be aft and I have a balcony, so I’m good (I think ).

Very true...that’s what my husband said
I think I’m ok either way. As long as I can go outside, I’ll be ok.

Also it is a Port-heavy cruise, better to spend the money on excursions.

Anytime DCL gives you money back is a win in my book! Enjoy your cruise.

I think 6A's have white walls, not the plexiglass.
But $1800 can be used in so many other ways!

Have fun.

I've never stayed in either category but I've never regretted the times I've had an inside cabin to save money to spend on Port Adventures. Larger rooms are nice, but if it's that or an awesome port adventure, I'm down grading my room every time.

We have always prioritized the clear plexiglass of Cat 5 over the white walls of Cat 6. But for $1800??? You made the smart choice! I've never seen that difference in price on any of the cruises we've taken. Good for you, and enjoy your cruise. Put that savings to good use on excursions, on board experiences, another vacation - or just your life.

I'm new to the cruise area but the difference in the rooms doesn't appear much to me. One doesn't look $1800 better than the other so yes, take that $ and have fun!

We took the 8 night Med cruise last year. We had an inside cabin - GTY was for a second deck - ended up getting the 7th deck AFT. I don't remember the categories - but we were very happy where we were placed. It was only 2 floors up to Cabanas - so convenient.

And we were NEVER in the room lol. We went on port excursions every port - and on sea days - we were pool side or roaming the ship.

Take the $1800 and ENJOY!!!!!

 

[DisneyPrincess]

Thanks everyone!!!
This is Disney Cruise #13, so I’ve super familiar with the cruises, just not the 6A s
I will happily take my $1800 and enjoy every minute

I had an inside room on the Med and didn't regret it one bit. You're rarely in your room - very port intensive - not like the Caribbean at all. I think an expensive room is a waste on the Med cruises, honestly.
