Liberty Of The Seas D1 or Junior Suite

LIBERTY OF THE SEAS CRUISE

 

If given the chance to upgrade from a D1 Balcony to a Junior Suite for less than $100 a night would you do it, and if so why, if not why not ?

 

GO !

Hell, yes! A JS is about 1/3 bigger than a D...more like a hotel room...do it!

CB > Besides being a larger room, are there other amenities that make it worthwhile ? We have never cruised in a JS and think this would be a great way to take advantage of a decent upgrade.

What sailing? You might have better options. Also would need to know the exact amount to upgrade.

You get double points and yes I would take the JS over the D1.

[Ourusualbeach]

$100 a night x what 5 nights. Not worth it for $500 for me.

 

If it was $100 total then absolutely.

No real extra perks for a JS other than the bigger room, a tub, priority boarding, coffee maker and a silver seapass card. And double points. None of which make it worth that much more on a short cruise IMO.

 

I have stayed in both on Liberty and I found that with it being a short cruise we were not in our cabins very often.

It's $100 a night, so yes $500 total, 5 night cruise.

 

Double points are also a reason that we are considering...

Oh no, $500 is too much, not worth it IMO.

[Cruisin' Again 86]

Tough decision, thanks for everyone's input.

[monkeyinhat]

I agree with everything Ourbeach said.

I would only do it if the double points put me into another Crown Anchor category.

At first I read this as an upgrade for a total of less than $100, but then realized my mistake and changed my answer. No, I would not upgrade to a JS from a D1. The difference between cabins is not worth that much money to me unless, as others have said, it bumped me up a C&A level.

I agree with everyone else who is saying $500 is too much to pay for the upgrade. The Junior Suites on Liberty are amazing, but unless you plan on spending a lot of time in your cabin the money won't be worth it. Keep checking the price though, I got lucky and didn't pay anything extra for my switch from a balcony to a JS this past April...which probably means I was paying too much to begin with :-)

 

Hope this helps!

See post 5. The OP said it was a 5 night cruise and it was $500 to upgrade. Not sure why the exact sail date would matter.

We've had both D1 and JS on Liberty. For us, the extra space (especially the walk in closet) makes a huge difference when traveling with kids. We didn't feel like we were tripping over everything, even with the pack-n-play set up all the time. That being said, we've not paid $500 to upgrade. Everyone's situation is different though. I'd say if it is worth it to you, then go for it. Be warned though...the extra space will spoil you after the first cruise in any larger cabin. DW is not as thrilled about being back in a D1 on Freedom next week...

Is this for Bermuda? Change my "no" to a "hell, no".

Because then you can check to see what other cabins/catgeories are available on that sailing to switch too which may have better value.

Too much for us too.

Wait until after final and see if you can upgrade for cheaper when prices come down a bit.

[FLACRUISER99]

I would keep the D1 and use the $500 for another cruise.

[Beachammo]

I'd stay in the D1 and put the 500 towards a drink package.
