We just got off the Rotterdam with standby cruise. We were offered a balcony upgrade the next day due 249/pp

We’re on a standby cruise now. Heard 3 days before. We were offered an upgrade next day to a balcony. Always people upgrading then a room available. Good luck

Both got an interior and one upgraded to a verandah then

I never checked prices for a verandah. The price I stated included everything I had to pay for, port fees, gratuity and have it all package

Yes we took it, lol our bargain stand by program blew up

Much happier

9 days

We got a room assignment for interior. Got notice yesterday.. just received an offer to upgrade to veranda for $249 pp. you will get room soon

Ok we were cleared yesterday for an interior room we just got an upgrade offer for a veranda for $249 each. We’re so tormented, our bargain standby isn’t a bargain when we added the Hal Package. Now it will be another $500. All in for veranda port charges gratuity and upgrade would be $3000. Not sure what prices were for a regular sailing were since we only did the standby. Is that still a good deal and have others taken the upgrade

Dec 11

Totally agree, this would have been worth it if we got a better room. At least we have the few perks with Hal package

We paid Dec 11..our bargain is up to $2600. With HAL package and gratuities.. hopefully I won’t be writing from prison after being in such close quarters with no windows🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

We found out today we made the March 29 cruise. I’m a little apprehensive. We paid more for the Hal package than the interior room. By the time you add taxes, fees and gratuities it’s not much of a bargain anymore🤦‍♀️ the room seems claustrophobic… I know it’s an interior but except for the bed you have no where to go..this might be a long 9 days.

7 days and counting for our standby from Ft. Lauderdale on the 29th. 🤞🤞we get on otherwise we’ll have a staycation day at Hard Rock 🤣

We’re standby on the same cruise. Fingers crossed we get on.

Guess you are ready update us on ease of check in and if you were able to get any wireless or drink package. And have a great time

Good for you…were you packed already. Which port? We are standby March 29 cruise from Ft. Lauderdale

I believe this program is to fill last minute cancellations not to fill unsold rooms. As far as being able to find out you have a cabin up to embarkation, you must be very flexible, live fairly close to port and just go with the flow

Good to know that notification for not getting on was given and refund should not take too long. We are on standby for March 29. We are 1 1/2 hours away from port. I can have my bags packed quickly! 🤞🤞🤞

Why were you expecting a refund when you thought you weren’t getting a room HA specifically said no cancellations.. seemed like the program worked like it was supposed to and you did get a room after all
