uptowne001 Posted December 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The prices for my July Mediterranean cruise (11 night on Edge) have decreased quite a bit, and I can now book a S3 suite for $2500 more then what I am paying for Infinite Veranda. When I first booked a year suites were astronomically higher. Thoughts on whether it is worth the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2Cruise 701 Posted December 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Is this total or pp? PP no but total probably depending on how many sky suites are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptowne001 Posted December 31, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted December 31, 2019 This is total! When I first started looking it would have been like 8 grand more to book a sky suite, which would be way out of our budget. I have never done a suite before.

Pushka Posted December 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I think we are on the same cruise and we were able to book an S2 for the same price as our previously purchased SV. Prices have been coming down consistently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many perks are you currently getting with your IV booking and do you also get all 4 perks free with the upgrade? In addition if you're sure you're going, is there an additional discount if you also make the booking nonrefundable?

uptowne001 Posted December 31, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We were getting 3 perks with the veranda booking, and will be getting 4 with the suite, which will be the $300 credit. We were already on the non-refundable deposit which did make a big difference in price. This will be a once in a life time trip for our 10th anniversary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will love eating in the Luminae, enjoying the various perks associated with Michael's and their concierge, and having the much larger cabin and balcony with a butler will make it all that more special!

Forget Michaels, they’ll have the Retreat Lounge, Retreat Pool Deck and the Bar at the Retreat Pool where you can get a light lunch, nice.

That’s what our drawcard is. I’m thinking it may be heavily marketed to Spanish as there are several excursions offered in Spanish and as ours is during school break then maybe lots of children. I know children can go into the retreat but am hoping they may not book suites due to costs. That’s the plan anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we’re booked in an S3, deck 9 and we’re quite happy because the S1 and 2 prices were absurdly expensive at the time we signed on.. A couple of weeks ago for the shucks of it I checked suites pricing and found that S1s were cheaper than our S3. Next day we switched to an S1 and are thrilled. No money back of course but we are happy puppies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 1, 2020 #18 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think it is a good deal. You might also look at a S1 or S2 They look like they are only $200 pp more From a site that track prices - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If prices were $8,100 pp a year ago I would consider a price of $4,599 a pretty good deal When I looked at S1 & S2 (not shown) they are the same price and listed at only $200 pp more than a S3 Edited January 1, 2020 by Jim_Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief I just rechecked what we paid for our S3 when we booked, what were we thinking? The S1 we switched to was close to $1,000 dollars less, but of course we couldn’t reduce our fare but happy to have the S1 mid-ship.

Cruise a holic Posted January 1, 2020 #23 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Sounds like a great deal- you get so much more with a suite- worth it IMO. We do prefer an S1 or S2- The S3's might have an obstructed view because of the magic carpet and its rails. But still really worth it! The suite lounge and deck makes the experience wonderful- also access to Luminae great- Enjoy Edited January 1, 2020 by Cruise a holic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
