Mary Louise Posted August 19, 2016 #76 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Has anyone ever got a call either from RCCL or TA and offered to be upgraded to from a balcony to a JS for not much more? Other cruiselines have done that. They call and ask are you willing to upgrade to a JS for an additional $400? If so, what was the upgrade cost?

Kew Gardens Cruiser Posted August 19, 2016 #78 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Our experience is .....we look at our bookings every day. Last April/may we were on Jewel booked into JS. 3 weeks prior to sailing an owners suite became available for the 10 day May portion in the Med. we added $800 to our previous amount and snagged it. Moral is to keep checking prices and grab them right away. Three hours after we upgraded the other owners suite was $4000 more . Exactly, I was booked in a JS for Oasis sailing next March. I was bored at work yesterday so I checked the prices again just to see where they were and the Owners Suites were actually coming in a little less than what I was currently booked for the JS. I immediately called my TA and changed my booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliles Posted August 29, 2016 #79 Share Posted August 29, 2016 What is overpriced and seems extravagant to someone is a manageable expense for others. Imagine a senior executive at a medium sized corporation who makes something over $250k per year, plus bonus, stock, etc. which nets out to 350K per year. Also imaging his wife works and makes at least 100K per year. For them a $25K vacation is merely 6% of their annual income, which is manageable for them. Imaging his wife might be lucrative!!

nikkiml Posted August 29, 2016 #80 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Our experience has been that most times suites are least expensive when the cruises are first released. Also, check the weekly sales flyer: http://www.creative.rccl.com/sales/royal/Multi_Dest/Special_Offers/rci_sales_event.pdf I've seen occasional good prices for suites in that flyer. This flyer is great. My question is: if you see a cruise on this flyer that you would like to take advantage of, then I presume that I can call directly RCL and ask for this price? Or do I need to go through a TA? Thank you, Lucie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Lucie[/quote] For a new booking, you can book direct with RC or use a TA, your choice. For an existing booking where the price in the flyer is lower than the existing booking, contact whoever booked the cruise.
