Keep looking at regular pricing- you might be able to upgrade to connecting window or balcony cabins, which are larger, and pay the lowered full price.

My worry is there are 4 of us, myself, my mom and my two teenagers. In the OV balcony I know the sofa is the trundle style which works ok. Are the suite couches actual pull outs? If so that might change my mind as the two of them sharing a pullout, would not be pleasant for anyone. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed a Royal Up bid for the 25th November sailing on Quantum out of Singapore and won my bid. Either it is not available on that particular sailing or if you booked through a travel agent, they may have opted out. Corinna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corinna i know some big box TA, etc. opt out of the royal up program but why? they are depriving their clients of a great service. I wouldn’t use that TA agin. A great deal on an upgrade is so much better then a couple of perks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvlworm Posted December 22, 2019 #4216 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Looking for some suite advice. I’m currently debating on waiting to see what is offered through Royal Up or moving from our current OV regular balcony to the guarantee suite, which is being offered at the best price I’ve seen so far for our March 1 sailing on Harmony. My worry is the bedding options, there are 4 of us— myself, my mom and my two teenagers. In the OV balcony I know the sofa is the trundle style which works ok. Are the suite couches actual pull outs?

Thanks! call. the extra room, suite restaurant and lounge are so much better then a small oceanview for four. one might be on a folding bed. The bunk beds aren’t so comfortable either. except for small kids you could also get a junior suite. tons of storage, less suite perks. but huge compared to a regular oceanview Quote Edited December 22, 2019 by Cruise a holic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The options for suites if you choose a room are pretty limited and showing only the GS, OS, CLS, or 1bd aqua suite. I’m just not sure if $ wise I’d be better off waiting to see what’s available through royal up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachChik Posted December 26, 2019 #4220 Share Posted December 26, 2019 So I’m currently booked in a standard balcony on the Harmony. Room is on deck 8, which I specifically booked that deck and room which is very close to the front elevators. I received a Royal up bid email. It has the Ultra spacious ocean view with large balcony listed. I was considering entering a bid since the extra room would be nice as we are a party of four. I looked and these rooms are on decks 7 and 11. Notwithstanding the cost, knowing if it were to be accepted that we don’t chose our room, would you try for this offer?

sara mom Posted December 27, 2019 #4223 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm a firm believer in booking what you want (we are not a guarantee type family)- but everyone is different. If your original factors are the most important to you, stick with your room. If you want the larger on a specific floor, then see if you can change your booking to that type of room. The royal up may not put you where you want to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't do it we are a family of 3; Basically just go to the room to sleep, you can do more with those $400.00 in offshore excursion, Dining, Etc.. Just my 2 cents. Plus with royal up you might get a location that you don't want to be or you might not like. Edited December 27, 2019 by luisc25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachChik Posted December 27, 2019 #4225 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Thank you! You are probably right. I think I would be unhappy if we ended up in a crappy location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
