Paid Upgrade to JS or W


Recommended Posts

Here is the current Cabana prices:

 

The Waterfront cabanas, B1 and B2 are $495.

 

Standard Cabanas S1 - S9 are $395

 

Hilltop and Over the Water cabana la are $595.

 

This is insane. I remember when I got a cabana for $200. I'm glad I got to enjoy it when I did!

This was almost exactly our situation. We were able to book a CL on Allure in September for under $2000 total for two people. It was a no brainer for us. What swayed me was the uniqueness of the Crown Loft, the location near CK, 24 hour access to CK, reserved seating at the shows, concierge walk off the ship, access to Barefoot Beach. The perks are just amazing and make this huge ship more intimate. I wanted a unique experience and the price was right.

 

OP, you might want to rethink the drink package if you upgrade to CL. As you started with a casino comp, you get free drinks in the casino, beer and wine in CK all day, and free cocktails during happy hour.

 

Let us know what you decide. Certainly is fun to 🤔.

 

Good points, no need to buy the drink package.

So after much talk. We have decided that with current prices (with some fluctuation), we will be booking the CL facing the ocean in one week. Unless a GS opens up as it is for the perks. Current prices are $1121 as of last night. Net pricing $921 as we would be buying the internet package regardless.

 

We are waiting one week because c’mon, we paid $2 for a suite guarantee that has yet to be assigned. Why not see if it will be assigned in the week to come and get lucky. But not more than that as there are 8 CL’s left (number hasn’t changed in 2 weeks).

 

With that said, drink package. I understand as prime, I get drinks in casino. My boyfriend is not so he would pay. Then there is the suite perks. My dilemma is this. Labadee, dinner, on the deck, at shows, etc. I probably drink 2 specialty coffees a day, 4-5 bottles of water, 2 drinks at dinner, 1 at a show, 2 on the sun deck.

You can get bottles of water from the casino or the Suite lounge so that would not be an issue. What type of specialty coffee? I believe you can get cappuccinos and latte in the suite lounge?? Also if you bought the dinner package you can get 40% off bottles of wine and these can be taken back to your cabin. It would really depend what you both plan to drink. If you get a CL by the Suite lounge you have access from 11-11 to beer, wine and champagne.

So what was the $1300 price to upgrade to a CL we were talking about? what are those above numbers referring to?

 

I only see 1 GS available, so wouldn't really count on any price drops there. If you really are going for one of the 7 remaining CL's I would do it asap. You might be surprised how fast they disappear.

 

BTW......you said there were 8, now it's 7.

As the post above yours mentions. The price fluctuates. A call to casino royale last indicated a price drop. In the end, if we land in a JS, we would be paying $200 for internet. So the net price is $921.00 since it comes with internet.

When did you book a CL for under $2000 for two people? That is the cheapest I have seen for a CL. I thought we got a good deal for 3 in CL for $3200.

Only 6 Crown Lofts available now.........waiting a week may not be the way to go. 2 have disappeared in the last 24 hours.

In March 2018. It was the price to upgrade to a CL from a free balcony from the casino (includes taxes and fees). Less than four weeks until we sail.

We were assigned our suite earlier today, a hump JS on the 12th deck. Great suite if that's what we were going for. We were planning on upgrading at some point but as Jimbo mentioned they were going pretty quick. At 7 pm they were down to 2 so I called and upgraded right then before they sold out. L1 $1194 total for the upgrade charge. We are very happy and really appreciate everyones input in this. We couldn't give up what most certainly will be a once in a life time deal. Although now we most certainly will be addicted to this kind of cruising I'm sure.

 

With that said, when I said I would like to upgrade to cabin number 1710, she said it looks like that is for 3 or 4 people only. Pause. It looks like I can still get you in. Okay great. But is there a chance something could happen with our suite? Just my anxiety asking!

I think you made a very good decision.

 

I think you are fortunate to get it at price you are paying and once you experience it you will understand why people were getting anxious by not understanding your hesitation.

 

I once got a similar offer but for about 4K more for the Aqua Theatre 2 bedroom suite and thought of it as a once in a lifetime and it was! We never got a price like it again. It was great and this was pre-star class perks.

 

Have a fantastic cruise!

Don't worry about that, that is BS. You will not lose the cabin.

 

Enjoy your cruise and your fancy new cabin, when you get back we want to hear all about it.

Ok thanks. I didnt know it was a comp casino cabin and paid $2000 to upgrade. I thought it was a price available for everyone to book.
