Seeing as the TA cruise might be an option next year what room do you guys recommend??
For such a cruise is it worth going for the Verandah??

I would suggest the Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah. Sure it might cost more than most people make in a year, but I feel quite confident that you will not be disappointed with your accommodations.:lol:

Lemme go dig the change out of the sofa cushions and we'll get that booked!
Actually, it's surprising how reasonable the Transatlantic prices are. The problem is taking that kind of time off work and flights. Geez, now that I think about it these are more issues for Tracey. What am *I* waiting for?!?! LOL!!!

Hard call. I would say yes, any cruise of that length is worth a verandah. But then again I am not following my own advice since I can't afford a verandah on the Med. :lol:
You thinking of booking it???
Just talked to my pop. I questioned him about weather and seas crossing the Atlantic in May. He said it's a good time because you're not as likely to hit bigger storms. Temps nice. Seas good. He said for him he would think it was worth it because he's an early-riser and his favorite thing that he misses most about being on the sea is watching the sun rise from a quiet rail with a cup of coffee. That alone would be worth it to him to have the convenience. So I think whether or not it's worth it for a balcony is much like any cruise in that it depends on what your vacation style is. If early mornings or sunsets on the rail are something you'd totally dig it might be worthwhile. There's certainly comfortable places on the public decks for this but it's not right at your door and, especially for sunsets, you aren't likely to be virtually alone. I say "virtually" because if your neighbors are on their verandahs then you aren't very alone. I was always very aware of this in the early mornings when Tracey would run out and want to call back in to me. I shooshed him quickly the first few times he did it so now he's trained. Like a kid, I tell ya! :lol:
On the cruises I have been on, on sea days deck chairs can become scarce, especialy if it is a nice day.
With what amounts to a bunch of sea days in a row, I can see the benefit of having a outdoor deck space that is yours and yours alone.
However, the chairs are really not deck chairs, and it is a bit cramped.

Well, if it makes it easier, DH today said to switch our 2013 dummy booking to the May 2013 TA. Not a killer on the cruise fare for 14 days. 4 of us in a balcony for right at $5k after our 10% discount. Not bad. Then I checked the air fare 1-way from Barcelona back to Houston. ((We could get my in-laws to drop us at the Galveston port.)) Um, yeah. 1-way flight for comparable day this year just for an idea of the price....$1300 each. That would make the flight more than the 14-day cruise. So I veto'd.....
In May of '10, our round trip to Barcelona was $800. I'm hoping for that again. You can bet I'll be checking every day when they are released!
How far out did you book that and what airline? I'm curious. I should probably dig more and see if I turn anything up.
Be expecting an email from me. It smells like travel shifting time around these parts.... :hammer:
