Everything Breakaway!(LIVE on 4/28)

Please excuse me if this has been covered. We are on page 122 and I really tried to read them all but quit around page 11!

 

We are on the June 2 sailing. We have an inside cabin on deck 13. Any chance we will get a call from the upgrade fairy? (I did send our cruise consultant an email saying we would be interested now that we have paid our final payment)

 

And, I saw the pics of the spa. I absolutely LOVE Gem's spa and I am sure Breakaway's is even better. Does anyone know yet about spa passes? Price for weekly? Will they be sold in the terminal on embarkation day?

 

Thanks - cannot wait to be on this ship!

 

I'm sort of in the same boat (pardon the bad pun). I haven't done a final payment yet, but I have an inside booked and wouldn't be averse to a paid upgrade.

 

We will see, but my gut feeling is that because it's a brand new ship, she's going to be packed over the summer, and calls from the upgrade fairy could be few and far between.

 

I'll still be plenty happy with my inside cabin, though, if that's the case.

When the upgrade fairy comes does she make you pay extra??? I don't think she has ever come my way before...lol

Yup - it's usually an upsell vs upgrade. I got upsold on Epic (2011) and Gem. Random the week before. They knew what they were doing because now I love the Haven. LOL

 

The night pics of Breakaway are beautiful - love seeing my aft room :)

 

Gambee - have a great cruise! Hope it's wonderful. We'll miss you in this crazy thread :)

So.....seriously, they call you and tell you they will give you a brake on the price of the cruise or they move you to a higher level cabin??

From what I hear—the fairy has never contacted me personally, though I've only been on two cruises—they call and offer you the upsell a better cabin at a good price.

Yup - for us the first time there were 4 of us booked in a deluxe family balcony. The Tuesday before they called and offered us the 2 br villa in the Haven for $1300 more. It still made the room $2000 less than if we booked it outright.

 

on the Gem we had a balcony booked and we got upsold to a 2br suite not with haven access for $350. Loved it.

 

It seems the calls are very random - for us they both occurred the week before sailing.

Thank you for all the good wishes on my cruise, I just got home from work. I can't wait to go to sleep and wake up :D.

 

 

bmlovell = Nice job at finding the cabin :), looks like a great cabin!

 

Gambee, enjoy your cruise. The weather will be perfect for your sail away. Looking forward to reading your review. :)

Good luck with sleeping. I failed to sleep every time I booked a new vessel.

Regardless, have fun and focus on "you" for a change.

Don't allow CC to lead your choices.

Of course we would love all crumbs fed, but still.

After your fun, you can feed us, we'll still be hungry.

 

Happy cruising. :)

Congrats on your suite. :D

 

Fwiw, your red circle doesn't surround your balcony.

You circled 16716 balcony, an S5.

Your balcony is under the forward stroke of the pen.

Your balcony is one forward. Your balcony is shared with the next forward S4 16712.

You do know that large open balcony is yours, well 1/2, it's missing it's partition separating the two S4's ?

 

I can't wait to sail in an S4 on the GA. Anticipating reports.

 

Happy sailing :)
