The upgrade fairy 🧚‍♀️ came for me

[Hop77]

I am so excited even though it will be nearly 300days before sailing off. It is a 5N Christmas cruise. Unknowingly, I booked and paid for GS guarantee. Only discovered it when I called to ask why I don’t see my cabin number. It has been only a mth ago that I made my ultimate decision to spend my hard earn cash on a GS, I received my room number. Guess what, they give me a Grand loft suite. I am still holding my breath. I hope that RC won’t change their mind and took it away. They will not do that right? Is it confirm mine?

 

Then I saw that it is a STAR class. Does this mean I am also upgraded together with the perks? From SKY to STAR??? Please tell me yes, pleaseeeee!! The perks are really extensive for STAR class. 

 

By by the way, I will be on Quantum Of The Seas, sailing from Singapore.

While it is possible they could change, it is highly improbable. Congratulations. You will have a wonderful trip.

Unless things are really REALLY different in the Asian market, there are no Grand Suites that are Star Class.

Grand Loft Suite Not Grand suite.

Sorry.  Missed that in the original post.  Yes...that should be a SC suite and the OP should get the Genie and all of the other SC amenities.  Congratulations !

@RFerrington I didn't know about the suite classes so I did a quick search. @Hop77 Are you sure you aren't confused?

While that might be true now, the fact that the OP is sailing AFTER Quantum's dry dock and move out of the China market may change things.

Thanks thanks. I did look it up too but during the travel fair held by RC Singapore, their Quantum pamphlet mentions the different royal suite class, and when my cabin was assigned, I refer to their advertised pamphlet to check if this cabin is indeed under the STAR class. I am so excited.

I really hope that RC won’t be so cruel to announce the top prize and then take it away. The 4 of us are really really breathless. If they have assigned the sky loft and then later changed it back to a grand suite, I just feel upset  but since the perks are the same, sky class, not a big deal, vacation will still be wonderful. But now we are talking about the STAR class, I can’t help feeling I won the lottery. OMG!!!

So we shall have the perks? All the perks? OMG!!! I don’t care too much about the Genie but to dine in specialty resturants and have complimentary gratuities, refreshments package or whatever it is called, is hard to believe. In Asian, there is something called the Genting Dream cruise and is well-known to give cabin upgrade to suites easily. But only cabin upgrade, doesn’t comes with the perks of the cabin. So I am still wondering how it is working for RC. This will be my 4th sailing and I never get an upgrade before. RC did called me once to ask if I were like to top up $1000sgp for a Royal suite in the Voyager of the Seas but since the perks are the same, I declined.

If this is truly a Star Class upgrade, as it would appear to be, you should receive all of the perks and amenities that go with it.  For North American itineraries, the Crown Loft Suite is a SC suite.  We just did B2B cruises in them...but with yours being an Asian itinerary I couldn’t be sure.  I know things aren’t exactly the same for the Asian itins.

Congrats!!

Fantastic, so very happy for you!  Enjoy your cruise!  

[sandebeach]

That is an incredible upgrade. Good for you, have a great time. 

[cruisequeen4ever]

How exciting!! Enjoy every minute!

[RFerrington]

I made a mistake in my previous post (#11).  I meant to say that a Grand Loft Suite is a Star Class Suite.  I mistakenly said that a Crown Loft Suite is SC but that not true.  CLS are Sky Class.  I think the OP was upgraded to a GLS which should be SC.  Sorry for the confusion.

Congratulations!! What an AWESOME upgrade! I know you said you weren't interested in the genie but, they are wonderful! They will make all your reservations for you! There is no need to do any planning ahead. He or she will contact you a few weeks out & you just let them know what you want to do (shows & activities), where you want to eat (specialty restaurants) & they will take care of everything! It's actually the best perk of the suite! At first I felt the same way, thinking we wouldn't use them but, it was incredible! Congrats again & enjoy ALL the perks!!
