Ashland Posted March 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I usually always sail in a JS category and have normally had no problems changing cabin location's within that JS category. What a shock when I called to change my true aft cabin on the Vision (since I had read so many negatives about the vibration affecting those true afts) to a bit more forward going from a J3 to a J4 still an aft and was quoted at more than $1,000.00 to go from cabin #8590 to #8576. Perhaps some can understand this....but really....the difference between those two cabin's on Vision :eek::eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Can be due to price rise over time due to supply and demand. Also can be due to different maximum occupancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted March 23, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Can be due to price rise over time due to supply and demand. Also can be due to different maximum occupancy. I just booked this on Feb 19th for a May 2019 cruise....There are only two of us and cabin #8590 had a sofa bed and #8576 doesn't. Just can't get over the shock.

Just can't get over the shock. Then it's probably the supply and demand thing. The prices were likely much closer when the cruise was first released. What is the sailing date?

What is the sailing date? My sail date is May 18, 2019 Vision out of Barcelona..12 night Med and Greek Isles. I would usually tend to avoid Vision (because of the JS locations) but this looks like a great itinerary for our 43rd wedding anniversary trip.

Coralc Posted March 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The vibration issues on Vision in the aft JS are really only while they are pulling up and pulling away from the pier. (side thrusters) It is like Magic Fingers if you are still in bed. :D And we used to pay 50 cents for that bed massage. We also thought it was sort of fun to watch the champagne glasses vibrate across the coffee table. We caught them before they fell and put them back in the bucket. :p We were in 8088. Other than ports, the rest of the 10 day cruise it did not vibrate at all, and we really enjoyed the balcony. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an aft JS on Splendour years ago. Pulling into our first port I thought the ship was falling apart it was vibrating so bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted March 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Can be due to price rise over time due to supply and demand. Also can be due to different maximum occupancy. Very true. I am also thinking these may be price increases that come before a "super sale"? Tax time is approaching so will the "We pay your taxes" sales. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted March 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2018 We've sailed 5 times in the aft of a Vision ship- the only time the vibration is really bad is when the ship is really flying. We were sailing from Rome to Sicily and were a few hours behind. After that, it was ok. Too bad you can get 8088 or 8588- those are the best cabins ever. HUGE balcony. Worth getting room service dinner out there when leaving some of the ports in the Med. Price is a funny thing, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also enjoyed those corner true afts but on the Radiance class...I've only sailed mid-ship on Vision. I still have plenty of time before I sail and of course will continue to check. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted March 23, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I think others will confirm Ash. And many congratulations on your upcoming anniversary! It sounds like a great cruise! :D I wouldn't pay $1,000 just to move away from the true aft. ~Patti :) We like Vision. We will be in 8544 in February. Afts were already gone.

nolesrule Posted March 23, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 23, 2018 According to the cabin price history I looked up online, the J4 for that sailing has gone up about $800 pp in the last month. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted March 24, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Alrighty...I'm going to trust you Coralc on this ;) .... I moved us back to #8590. Good choice! The huge balcony is worth any vibration you might feel. I've done aft JS's on Vision and Rhapsody and will ALWAYS grab one if available! The massive balcony is worth it!
