Jimbo Posted September 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2021 What could be Royal's reasoning as to why not selling any cabins higher then a Junior Suite's..................There is no way all those higher Suites are sold out this early? What does this mean? Have other's seen this for Europe cruise's before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampurp85 Posted September 3, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Why do you think the higher suite haven't been sold out? Especially considering those books have been available for almost a year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because historically, other than single very unique sailings, that (a whole season's worth of suites) just doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampurp85 Posted September 3, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2021 @Biker19 I get that but there is absolutely no reason to not sell the higher suites. Unless Royal IT really does hate @Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampurp85 Posted September 3, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2021 So I just checked and yes, all the suites above jr. don't show up. I also noticed that on a lot of sailings OV category says sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted September 3, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Does anyone think maybe they are moving this itinerary to a smaller ship where there are some larger suites that are on Allure and not on the smaller ship making it much harder to move people over to the smaller ship in like category you were in?

A switch to another ship would have likely had all cabin categories listed as sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it isn't set in stone yet they are actually going to change this itinerary to another ship. Is there any ships currently that don't have cruise dates set for those months yet? It could be switched to one of those ships? Maybe the change is just starting to be talked about, easy to transfer people from insides and outside cabins to like cabins on another ship. Suites not so easy. Edited September 3, 2021 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasi11 Posted September 3, 2021 #11 Share Posted September 3, 2021 We look to book suites and they are frequently sold out. People want the double points along with a larger room and all the extra perks. With more than double point promotions, I am not surprised the suites are sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, that may happen for some single popular sailing, but not for a whole season 9 months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted September 3, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Also consider that upper level suites are very limited compared to other cabins and there are lots of Lift & Shifts that have accumulated. Doesn’t really seem that odd to me that they’re sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotherchad Posted September 3, 2021 #15 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The thing is, cruising has been shut down for over a year. It doesn't surprise me at all that all the suites would be sold out almost immediately as soon as cruising opens back up. These aren't normal times.

chucknmarilyn Posted September 3, 2021 #16 Share Posted September 3, 2021 For Allure next summer there haven't been any suites for quite a while out of Rome. There have been some out of Barcelona so you might look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted September 3, 2021 #18 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm envisioning some really wealthy people that are sick of staying home, booking suites b2b into infinity for 9 months next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked the last full suite (2 bdrm) for a client in June 22. It was the same price as a JS. Craziness!! I would imagine more will open up at some point.

So all the pricing may be messed up on the Suites higher then a JS. May be the reason all those Suites are not available for booking. Royal pulled all those categories before people booked them. If you see that again come on back here and post so we can have a frenzy booking here for all the Cruise Critic Members 🙂 Just how crazy of a price did you get? Care to share?

I'll check. I think it was more because the JS was so high!! We are on Odyssey in October and the jump from Balcony to JS was enormous. Fingers crossed for Royal Up.

Jimbo Posted September 15, 2021 Author #22 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Update: Still nothing from either Barcelona or Rome higher then a Junior Suite, entire season on Allure? What could be the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
