Is this a good upsell offer?

[Savaann]

Hi everyone :) We are a family of 4 cruising on the GEM May 14th, currently booked in a MB mini suite. We paid $4000 for our trip (kids are sailing free, including the fees for the UDP & UBP). I've been calling the upsell line for 2 weeks and the price to move to the Haven 2 bedroom is $1500. There are 3 rooms left. I've never tried for an upsell before (or been in the Haven) so I don't know how good the chances are for the rate to go down even more. Should I just do it now or wait? Thank you for any advice that you can offer! Sylvia

$1500 total? I would jump on that! $1500 per person (usually just for the first 2 people) I would still consider it.

Your sailing in less than two weeks so I would call and try making them an offer if no go then take it for $1500.

They will no doubt be offered out soon.

Make your pick of suite so you can book on the spot. It is a good price.

Thank you! Yes, it's $1500 total to upgrade. I made an offer of $1250 and she said no right away.

soon, my suggestion is to jump on it, as others have said.

Good offer. Take it.

Yes, take it. The selling factor is what would that level of cabin cost you if you booked it outright in the first place? It would definitely be significantly more.

 

For us, we booked a regular AFT balcony (B1) on the Escape and with taxes, port fees, transfer, beverage surcharge and dinner surcharge (4 meals) we were at $1866 p/p. We were able to secure an upsell to the Haven AFT suite fro another $1000 p/p. We took it immediately. At the time of our booking the base price for the Haven AFT is around $3600 p/p. None the less we jumped on it and got the last Haven AFT available. We secured this last Wednesday and we sail on May 14th.

If you are looking to get in the Haven, I too would suggest you take it at that price.

That's great. Well worth it in my opinion. The second bedroom and bathroom only make it a deal.
