Bmendes1 Posted February 24, 2020 #4804 Share Posted February 24, 2020 We are sailing on the Independence of the Seas leaving in 1 week (March 2nd) We bid on a Grand Suite 1 Bedroom, and it still shows "pending", so its not looking too good. Either way, we are happy with our Ocean View Balcony. Just curious, if anyone received an upgrade on this sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S904 Posted February 25, 2020 #4805 Share Posted February 25, 2020 On 2/3/2020 at 9:30 AM, S904 said: 10 Day Cruise - Currently Booked in Junior Suite - Voyager of the Seas Min bid is listed below. Only 2 of us travelling on our honeymoon. 5 port days 4 sea days. Royal Suite - $700 per person Owners Suite - $450 per person Grand Suite - 2 Bedroom - $200 per person Grand Suite - 1 Bedroom - $150 per person What's the play here?? Is it worth it for Grand v Owners? D+ first time in a Junior Suite, so going to love it either way. Super tempted by Royal Suite but really don't want to spend 1400$ Planning on going 250 for grand and 460 for owners. I think main question is owners worth it?? Update: GOT THE EMAIL!! ACECPTED! Owners Suite here I come for 10 days! Originally had paid $1415 pre port fees for a Junior Suite and Free Gratuities. So in total paid just about 2K per person for 10 days for an owners suite! l Final bids: Grand Suite 1B - 350 Grand Suite 2B - 400 Owner Suite - 475 - Accepted! Roayl Suite - 710 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfish65 Posted February 25, 2020 #4807 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Generally is it about three weeks before you sail that you'll get the notification your bid is accepted? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gi_pam Posted February 25, 2020 #4810 Share Posted February 25, 2020 We’re 13 days out right now. Jewel, from Dubai. I got a Royal Up offer just now. We have a balcony guarantee, and we’re happy with our room. But the ship has been seeming very empty, lots of empty cabins in all categories. I’ve been watching to see if an upgrade to a Jr Suite might be worth it. Until yesterday, it was about 1000€ more than we paid. Not worth it. Today, all of a sudden, balconies show as sold out when there were tons yesterday, and there are no more suite guarantee cabins available (but still lots of suites empty). Royal Up shuffle I guess. I put a bid on a Jr Suite and the 2 bedroom suite (no balcony). Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stompy Posted March 1, 2020 #4820 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Some Crown Loft Suites opened up on our next cruise. We're currently in a GS with RoyalUP bids on a GS 2 Bed and an Owner's Suite. If we upgrade to the CL Suite what happens to those offers since they'd technically be downgrades? Also, for things like the VILLA, Skyloft Suite and the Aqua 2 Bedroom, would my minimums be reduced since I was in a higher category room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get two bathrooms and great storage!! Our favorite suites on the ship. We have had grand suite and owners suite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLS is nice, but not being near the windows with the bed upstairs, and having to go up and down those stairs all the time...IMHO I prefer the GS or OS. In fact had a CLS booked for next summer on Allure, then later changed to an OS. Was actually 400 more to do so. Love the big open space in the OS, and huge bathroom. All personal preference of course. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steps aren't steep and are well lite if you want at night- The grand suite, I kept banging into the coffee table in the living area- The owners suite is better as it is bigger- but not having two bathrooms and paying more for an owners suite doesn't make sense to me, unless you are handicapped.
