4 key differences between balcony cabins and premium cruise suites

If you are traveling on a cruise for the first time, it is quite natural to be confused about choosing the right accommodation for your weekend getaways given the huge variety of options that are offered to you. The most common confusions occur between the balcony cabins and premium suites. Passengers often find themselves asking what exactly is different between the premium suites and the balconied cabins and why is one priced higher than the other though both have a balcony?



To answer that question and help you book the right stay option for your vacation onboard a getaway cruise, here are 4 key differences between balcony cabins and premium cruise suites -

 

1)      The stateroom’s size

Balconied cabins are smaller in size when compared to premium cruise suites. A premium cabin has a separate bedroom and a living room, a dining hall and a balcony. While a balconied cabin is a little bigger than the cabin on the interior, it does not have separate rooms like the premium suites and closes up with just one big room and a balcony. If you are planning a cruise wedding, a premium cabin would be a great choice for the amenities that it provides. They are apt for accommodating 2 to 4 people on an average while the premium suites obviously range higher.

 

2)      The different amenities provided

A balconied cabin comes with all the standard amenities that you get when you book an interior cabin or any other stateroom type that is not premium or executive. However, a premium cruise suite gets all the same amenities and more. Some are upgraded like fancier bathroom fixtures, while some are extra like an in-cabin coffee maker or a whirlpool tub. The higher priced your cabin is, the better is the quality of the amenities provided. The toiletries provided also differ, the balconied cabins come with the standard ones while the premium cruise suites feature an upgraded version of them as well.

 

3)      The different perks offered

Perks follow the same logic of amenities. The more you pay, the better you get. While a balcony cabin can surely give you access to free WIFI, a couple of drink packages, and other such perks, a premium cruise suite offers much more. Depending on the price range of the premium suite, you get amazing perks bundled with your getaway cruise booking, like a special butler service or a private dining area. Booking a premium suite might even help you have an expedited disembarkation and boarding process.

 

4)      The booking price

The obvious but noteworthy to understand. The price difference between the balconied cabins and premium staterooms is rather huge. While a balconied cabin would cost you anywhere around Rs.40,000; a premium cruise suite ranges higher than Rs.90,000 on average. The prices are pretty far apart on the financial scale, however, booking a premium cruise suite is a good idea if you are planning to experience the luxury of a king this holiday.

 

We hope you find this article has enlightened you about the key differences between balconied cabins and premium cruise suites and you are now better informed about which stateroom is the perfect choice for your holiday on an Indian cruise ship. Happy cruising!
