Carnival Jubilee spa balcony pricing question

we had a spa balcony on the mardi gras, which is laid out similarly, but it was a few doors down from the actual entrance. being right next to it might mean a bit more foot traffic noise from people coming and going, especially early morning and late afternoon. the convenience of popping in and out of the thermal suite is really nice though, especially if you plan on using it daily. for us, the extra cost for the closest cabins only made sense because we basically lived in the thalassotherapy pool. if you're only going to the spa a couple times, a cheaper balcony further down the same hallway is definitely the same core experience. you still get the spa access pass included, which is the main perk. one thing to check is if those specific 8T rooms have any odd layout quirks, like a partially obstructed view or a different balcony shape. sometimes the ones right at a recess or corner can be a little different. id look up the exact room numbers on a fan site to see if theres any user photos.
