i2ukus Posted January 10, 2011 Author #2 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Has anyone been able to buy for a cheaper price then they were offered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted January 10, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I did not take the deal, but I am in a 9B on the Liberty and they offered me an OS for $200 total. $700 was definitely not a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnStevenGordon Posted January 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just got the infamous call....wanted to put us in an Ocean Suite for $700 more (we are currently in a extended balcony) Of course we said no...boy was I hoping for a better deal! But we were just excited we got the call! I told hubby to make an offer but he didn't....he is a turd lol Wow Awful Deal!!!!!!!!!!! I got a call for my upcoming trip for $775.00 to upgrade from a OS to a GS. I asked the guy what the deal was - seemed like normal price. He said no if you add back in your onboard credits it would cost you $900.00. So I said to him you mean you want to charge me $900 to upgrade to a GS when it costs $1,000 on the website? He says sure can I add it to your credit card. I just had to laugh............................................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2ukus Posted January 11, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I am sure someone may have found this to be a good deal but No Thank You....$700 is just crazy to add 90 square feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parentsof5 Posted January 11, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I have seen one post that said the poster made an offer. I think it was $300 per person to upgrade and they offered $300 total to upgrade (don't remember how many or what cabin). They got a call back saying they would take the $300 total.

UpstateCruizer Posted January 11, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I was offered an upsell on the Miracle and I turned it down. After seeing one of the cabins they had offered I called back and counter offered $100 less and got the cabin :) I think they originally offered it to me for $398 and I ended up getting it for $298. It was a great deal as we went from an 4k to an 8k which is a larger cabin and a balcony :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWcruisers Posted January 11, 2011 #17 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I wanted a Cat 12 (or whatever they are called now) on the Elation last year and watched several times a day until one came available 2 days before we sailed. It was $2K more than I paid for my oceanview, so I called my PVP and asked if they would consider reducing the price for a Milestone cruiser. They came back at an upgrade price of $600 total, so yes, they will bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkpink4 Posted January 11, 2011 #18 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I got a call for the owners suite for 1400.00 more and we were in a inside room with 4 ppl. I passed then he offered me another suite for 900.00 passed on that as well. I told them that the price went up alittle since I booked and they switched me to an oceanview for free. I booked the past guest fares so they couldnt do any obc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
