Upgrade Fairy just blew my mind

[All4fun&fun4all]

I snuck in on the last day and took a few pics on our June sailing on Fantasy. It is pretty amazing. :)

[~earthmama~]

I can post some of the pics if anyone wants!

[ChefSusan]

Pass! My husband and I could book at least two more cruises with that money!

I can post some of the pics if anyone wants!

Please do.

 

A question- do Spirit Class ships have an "Owners Suite"?

[gogetter]

So what exxactly blew your mind? The cost or someone actually called?

The suite itself blew my mind. It is really beautiful!

I made the pics a slide show.

All I can say is OMG! We stay four to a room inside quads. WOW that is one great suite! Thanks for the pics and letting me day dream. :D

Our last cruise, NCL we got an upsale from a two bedroom balcony to one of the Garden Villas. Our price was $2000, split between 2 families. We took it! We have never regretted it! The perks NCL has for these Villa's are amazing. We were sailing with a total of 17 people, it was nice to have everyone over and have too much room. With knowing it would never happen again, we are back to a balcony on Carnival, which I prefer over NCL.

Seems in a colossal struggle the Upgrade Fairy has been vanquished to purgatory by the Upsell Fairy.

 

$2000 is BIG bucks

[echo]

OMG is right, I didnt expect it to look that nice. But 2K is alot of money, dont think I would do it either. Now on the Dream maybe I'd consider it. I really am hoping the fairey calls me for either of my 2 upcoming Cruise.

 

I do , I DO ,I DO believe in Fairies!!!!!!

[I Luv Crusin]

yep 916 sq feet and its AMAZING but we are sticking with what we have. Very cool pics and nice to dream for a few minutes :D

 

If you take the upgrade maybe Carnival will upgrade US to your old cabin! ;) I've been waiting, waiting for an upsell call! We have an outside right now in the bilge!

 

I will not spend $2000 however!

 

earthmama have you look at the roll-call for our cruise? I'd love to meet you!

[scrapmamma]

Seriously, who would pay that? That would be a good portion towards another cruise.

 

Maybe some do opt for the upgrade but Im sure not many.

 

Why not give you something more realistic?

I have! We are sailing 9/24, and we have the same name! I spell mine Leslie though!

We got a call from the up sell fairy 2 days before we sailed a couple weeks ago. We were in an Extended Balcony Suite and they offered the Owner's suite for $1700 more. Though the pictures were amazing and it would have been tons of fun, we decided that we'd save that for our next cruise!

wwwoooowwwww! beautiful. I'ld want to say "yes" but no way I would spend that on a room. I don't want to stay in the room the whole trip. If I had that room, I wouldn't leave.

[kml2000]

Nice.....I would love to sail in that.....

 

but wouldn't pay the $$$$ to do it....

[CruisinManiac]

We are on the fantasy with a "penthouse" suite and an adjoining OV. I think she is going to stick with what we have but MAN the pics they sent are AWESOME and at 916 sq feet it's bigger than my first apt! LOL

 

Thank you for the more thorough explanation about the offer. ;) I have seen the video of the Owners Suite and it was quite spectacular. However, I imagine that a Penthouse Suite would be as well. Didn't know Carnival had that category, either. How big is it?

[going to see the world]

Anyone have any pics of a penthouse suite?

[illinoismomof4]

we were offered that on our sailing on the Freedom 08/28 for 900.00 for the 4 of us. I have to say I passed on it, I loved the balcony we had and kind of glad I passed

[CruisinManiac]

Did anyone else notice that the architectural plan didn't jive with the photos? Also, the photos make it look like there were two bedrooms, where the plan shows just one.

 

OP, where would you have slept had your MIL taken the Owners Suite. Y'all would be going from two bedrooms to one.

 

After seeing the photos, if there was two bedrooms and baths, I believe I'd give up our two Cat. 8 staterooms for $1700. :) That's just $25 more pp than it would cost us to upgrade from a balcony to an Ocean Suite. Although, I don't think I would like my bedroom overlooking the pool deck. Talk about noise! :eek:

 

Does anyone know if the Glory has Penthouse and Owners Suites?

[I Luv Crusin]

I have! We are sailing 9/24, and we have the same name! I spell mine Leslie though!

 

I used to spell my name Leslie, but, well it's a long story. If I run into you on the Fantasy I'll explain. I'd love to do a meet and greet but no one seems to be interested. :(

I was in the Owner's Suite on the Sensation last month. It's worth EVERY PENNY of your upgrade charge! Great job!! You won't regret it. Most of all... you'll be treated MUCH better than those cheepos who think it's not worth it!! LOL
