I will be booking a cruise with Royal Caribbean, it is the Freedom, we want a balcony room. But why are the prices so different?

I know the prices change by what floor you are on. Some may have obstructed views. But aren't all balcony rooms the same size? are there some that have more amenities than others (fridge, bigger bathroom, bigger balcony) Or is the difference in price just for the location of your room?

Do you know do the rooms have mini fridges? or is that just the suites?

  1. No they are not all exactly the same size.

    Also there are some with connecting doors to the adjacent cabins.

    Also those in the middle of the ship may experience less rocking in heavy seas.

    Take a good look at the location of the cabins you are considering in relation to the elevators, what is located on the deck under or above,

    etc.

    To some such little things can make a big difference.


  2. THE PRICE IS NOT THE SAME FOR MOST OF THE LISTED REASON YOU HAVE,  ALSO THE LOCATION OF THE CABIN FOR EXAMPLE IN THE FRONT IS LESS EXPENSIVE THEN THE MIDDLE OR THE BACK.  THE CABINS IN THE BACK ARE ALSO MORE EXAMPLE

  3. Here's a site I used before I went on my two cruises and they answered a lot of my questions:

  4. I have cruised on the Freedom and found when I was reserving that the ship has balcony cabins that are two different sizes.  The standard balcony cabin is 177 sq ft and the superior cabins are slightly larger at 214 sq ft.  So you pay more for a little more room in the cabin.  In addition, cruise ship generally charge a little more for cabins that are in a slightly better location, like mid-ship and/or on  a higher deck.

    The cabins on the Freedom do have a mini-refrig located in the cabinet beneith the TV.
