Lilly55 Posted October 15, 2023 #26 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Are the people receiving the Seabourn upgrade offers from TAs in the UK or the US? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travels with Lisa Posted October 15, 2023 #27 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm in the US. Seabourn sent the offer to my TA, who then forwarded to me. It was about 7 weeks prior to sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PH suite on Venture for £499 per person and wintergarden for I think £3299 pp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vineyard View Posted October 15, 2023 #31 Share Posted October 15, 2023 We received an offer a couple months prior via our TA. It was not attractive enough to take like this one was. Had it been we would have jumped on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnedg Posted October 15, 2023 #32 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Received a call from our TA last week, just over 3 weeks out. £199pp to upgrade from V1 to V2 on Quest. Unfortunately we might not be travelling because of family illness but in any event we are booked OB so if we do travel we may get an upgrade for nothing in any event.

lincslady Posted October 15, 2023 #33 Share Posted October 15, 2023 You might well, and V1 to V2 is not a really big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vineyard View Posted October 15, 2023 #35 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think I might accept that V1/V2 from a OB. The balcony alone would be worth is for us. I realize that is not a box that needs checked for all though. Dunnedg, I hope it all works out well medically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been in V1 or V2 before but suite size is exactly the same, we are great sailors so never troubled by rough seas and we have been initially allocated midships anyway. Of course the most important reason is I am a tight Scotsman. $500 will cover some trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only V1’s, which are all the cabins on deck 5, have a metal bottom Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Seabourn classified their suites, V1 to V6, half the suites on deck 5 were V1 and half V2 and they all had metal bottoms. Now they only operate with V1 to V4, deck 5 suites are all classified as V1 which of course are all metal bottoms. So we were both correct😀. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spend time on our balcony and while I know the metal bottom is perfectly fine for many, we really want to enjoy without. When I stated that, I did not realize they were included in OB so thank you for clarifying. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyford51 Posted October 29, 2023 #41 Share Posted October 29, 2023 We are currently booked in a Guaranteed V1-2. Received an offer to upgrade to Guaranteed V3-4 for $199 pp. We passed since anywhere on the ship works for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That early morning wakeup isn't always desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyford51 Posted November 27, 2023 #45 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Another offer came today. $599 pp to go to a PH. That's a deal for 14 days, but already taken by the time I called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a v1 on the odyssey and NEVER heard the anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
