Boardwalk Balcony Cabin - May 2023

For this cruise aboard Royal’s “Oasis of the Seas”, we initially booked an “Inside GTY”. GTY stands for “Guaranteed Type” meaning the cruise line will give you a lower price but they will decide which cabin you will be placed in. We’ve done this several times over the years and have been satisfied with where we’re placed on the ship.

In recent years, the cruise lines have adopted a new approach to the cabin upgrade process. The current approach involves opening up any available higher level cabins to a bidding process. I went ahead and placed a little above minimum bids on three types of cabins… Ocean View, Inside Balcony, and Ocean Balcony cabins. Results aren’t announced until sometime during the week before embarkation. As luck would have it, I won the bid on an “Boardwalk Neighborhood Balcony” cabin. We had this type of cabin several years ago on one of Oasis’s sister ships. Having a table and chairs was nice, we even ate lunch there.

We were assigned cabin 14307. BTW, deck 14 was really deck 13 in disguise.

360 videos were captured with a GoPro MAX. Other images were captured with a GoPro Hero 9.

Background music came from Soundcloud and is called “Dreams” by X50 Music.
