We Got An Upgrade!

[lamwnfa]

We are going to the Baltic on the Jewel of the Seas on May 27th. Final payment was due today. My TA just called to let us know we were given and upgrade! Our party of 5 had 2 large ocean view rooms, they moved us (just one stateroom over) to 2 FAMILY ocean view rooms. So we go from 170 sq ft per room to 319 sq ft per room and I don't have to sleep on a sofa bed!

Thanks everyone! It sure did make my day today!

 

Mad...I signed up for the M&M a LONG time ago.

 

I see you did this same trip last year so you must have really enjoyed it. We've traveled rather extensively, but other then England we haven't been to any of our ports. I've been busy researching all the things to do and see.

You are right, I really really enjoyed it last year and there is still so much to do and see in the various ports.

Last year I booked ship excursions everywhere but I dnot plan to do this his year. It´s so easy to get around in most of the places. For St. Petersburg I´ve booked tours with Red October.

 

Looking forward to meet you onboard.

 

I could go tomorow, but I think we have to be patient for the next 69 days:)

Congrats!!!

We've booked with Denrus for St Petersburg with just the 5 of us. We are doing a private tour in Estonia too. I know it's not necessary but the guide comes highly recommended. A friend will meet us in Helsinki and give us a personal tour and we plan to do the rest of the cities on our own too. We did that on our cruise to New Zealand and Austrailia and not only did we save money, after comparing "notes" with others it seems like we saw more without the long shopping stops that the tours make.

 

 

I'll look forward to meet you too.

Lori, mind if I ask, did you book a guarantee or are you a long Time RCCL cruiser? ML

[lamwnfa]

We didn't book a guarantee, we (3 of the 5) will be platinum C&A after this cruise. It probably didn't hurt that this will be my 3rd Royal Caribbean cruise in 13 months. I'm not normally a 3 cruise per year girl, but we found some really good deals and couldn't do a land trip any cheaper.

[wannacruise655]

shhhhh..... let them think you are going to do this 3 per year EVERY year who knows what will be next. ML

[Sheffie]

That's the best upgrade I have ever heard of! Congratulations!
