If I may pick your brain again. We are booked on the Onward Dec. 22, 2022 cruise in an inside cabin. There appears that there are almost 60 Oceanview cabins available vs. 24 TOTAL inside cabins. Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just done a (roughish) count of Onward’s cabins & I make it 26 inside cabins in total and 79 Oceanview in total. On top of that there are 160 veranda, 10 veranda plus, 56 Club Continent Suites & 10 large suites. That makes 341 in total which is about right. Don’t forget that some people may have booked a ‘guarantee’ Oceanview, so if you do a ‘mock’ booking to look at vacant cabins, their cabins will still show up as empty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Port Power Posted September 28, 2022 #856 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Last week I received a bid email for my December 21 17-night cruise on Quest. I have a V2 club veranda suite on deck 7 and was offered Club Continent for AU$610pp. As far as I can tell, the cruise is just about full except for the top suites, so a couple of current CC occupants will need to bid for World Suites before Club Continent suites become available anyway. I do not think our loyalty level has anything to do with it, noted many years ago. Anyway, as a solo cruiser I cannot see the value of paying AU$1220 even for the shower, a bottle of gin and specialty restaurants. Nor can a fellow couple on our roll call. I am tempted to bid just to see what happens! (But it would be a waste of money.) I do acknowledge that is a really good offer, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevintheIrishDJ Posted September 28, 2022 #857 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) We got an upgrade email for the 2022 Onward Christmas cruise. We have inside cabin. So, I checked the prices for the same Christmas cruise in 2023. The difference in price for an OV is $640. The minimum upgrade bid is $400. The difference in price for a Veranda is $1,760. The minimum upgrade bid is $2,000. I don’t get it. Edited September 28, 2022 by KevintheIrishDJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laganlady02 Posted September 28, 2022 #858 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It is irrelevant to compare the price to the 2023 cruise. The Christmas cruise 2022 is almost sold out, that is why the upgrade prices are as quoted. There are only a few obstructed Oceanview cabins available in that category. If you can afford the time, you may get an excellent offer whilst you are onboard for the next cruise as there is a lot of availability on that one, starts January 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 2023 prices because 2022 aren't available anymore. There are 60 OV cabins available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laganlady02 Posted September 28, 2022 #860 Share Posted September 28, 2022 As of now there are 9 obstructed oceanview cabins for sale and a few insides, everything else is sold. The important thing to remember is the upgrade bids you received refer to this cruise only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume those upgrade bid prices were per person and I think your loyalty level is Adventurer (first cruise) - just for the spreadsheet. Did you decide to bid?

Added it to the spreadsheet Did you make any bids? Not yet - It is a relatively quiet cruise with only 139 cabins booked. We are trying out Azamara as trial for a World cruise so will possibly stay in the balcony as I wont be able to afford a suite for the big one 🙂 however, if we do bid I will let you know.
