Upgrade Budget for JS

vision14k · January 22, 2020

Out of curiosity, what would you (honestly) pay to upgrade to a Junior Suite on Allure from a Boardwalk Balcony cabin?

Clarea · January 22, 2020

Max $600 total.

It depends on how much you were paying for that balcony cabin in the first place.

$2000 originally for the Boardwalk Balcony with gratuities prepaid.... 7 nights

Different ship but my in laws paid around 2100 for balcony on adventure and bid/won JS for 325 per person 3 weeks ago. I agree with bob. No more than around 300.

I agree with this as well

If you are talking about Royal up and a grand suite is an option I would bid on that instead of the JS

When I book, I book a room that I feel comfortable with, both location and price. So I never feel a need to change it. For me, it's just a bed, and a balcony to drink my morning coffee.

I assume you are referring to Royal UP. If so, note the Royal UP accepted bids to Jr / Full suites will not earn an extra C&A point.

Points will be based on your original booking category. However, you will get whatever on board benefits are entitled for the upgraded category.

I would have booked the JS from the get-go....we enjoy having a bit of extra space in our cabin!

Not me ... I enjoy taking an extra cruise or two with the savings. 🙂

Tulsacoker · January 22, 2020

I bid on an upgrade based upon two things:

1. Do I really want the room

2. How much extra was it above my original room that I booked then typically bid 50% of the difference (for the two).

I think its more of a function of itinerary, length, ship, and date.

JS on Allure is worth more than on Adventure in most cases

Our current Royal Up is $500 pp to go from OV to JS on Harmony. Since we are OV, we cant bid on GS and up.

So @Merion_Mom since my original cost is basically free, is $1000 an acceptable bid

Thanks for the feedback. This actually wasn’t for a Royal Up offer. The cruise had been sold out and I noticed a JS opened up, was debating upgrading!

(Then you would get the double points)

Are you going to keep us in suspense? Did you upgrade yourself? For how much?

😄

...and once again a total non-answer to the OP's question. UGH!

Well, I ended up upgrading. I rather not say how much I spent because I don’t feel like being bashed for how much I spent. But I’m content with my decision. Let’s just say it was north of any recommendations made here. Lol

Did you upgraded directly with Royal?
I tried doing that they wanted $1,600 for a JS $2,500 for a GS. Crazy prices right now, I paid $2,100 for the booking on a Ocean Balcony; maybe that’s why.

Waiting for the last 60-30 days to call again.

Yes, I was checking daily and saw that it became available, so called up and switched, paying the difference in price.

And yes, they wanted, and I paid a crazy price... which is how they’re able to ask crazy prices... because of people like me, lol, sorry!

Thanks for letting me know, I will not get my hopes high then. (I know I should’ve book the suite).

Please don't apologize. If you are comfortable with what you paid, then that is what counts. As a poster above said....ENJOY !! 🙂
