This special cruise was offered to 7 stars as one choice of a signature event, instead of a party weekend at a Harrahs casino this year, and booked up extremely fast. A few people got put on an overflow cruise in Sept., but a lot of people who wanted it didn't get it. Everyone is getting a normal balcony on the Breakaway from NYC. There was a bit of confusion and wrong information along the way, but it looks like Harrahs is really treating us well, with one night in NYC before the cruise, a cocktail party the night before the cruise, breakfast morning of cruise, transport to cruise from hotel, three free signature meals onboard, $200 room credit, bottle of wine, chocolate covered strawberries, and most importantly (unlike a NCL cruise certificate), they are paying port charges, fees, and gratuities. Plus a pass for Unlimited Beverages (booze and soda onboard, limited with certain restrictions like drink must be a well drink or under $8 a glass), good at any bar, not just casino bar. And some extras like backstage Rockettes.
The balconies apparently are pretty much spread around the ship, from what I've seen from friends, everything from an aft balcony to midships, on various levels. Not haven or spa rooms.
All in all it seems they are giving us a lot more than previous signature events I've gone to in Tahoe and New Orleans.
I'm looking forward to going in just a couple days.
