When I booked Icon I wasn't looking at suites so it never occurred to me and somehow I missed the discussion here on CC when that happened. I'm assuming there was a discussion anyways. I just did the same thing and it was a $600 difference. I recall the JY,s being a hot topic when dates were released for Icon. It was probably blended in with the initial crazy booking frenzy the morning they were released We got the last one for our sailing at 4am 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you get in the suite lounge, which is why they are talking above about overcrowding, great way to solve it. Add more JS with full suite perks. This exactly...thanks. ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATG Posted October 18, 2023 #38 Share Posted October 18, 2023 In order to cruise more frequently we’ve changed from grand suites to junior suites. But on Oasis class I do miss having Coastal Kitchen for breakfast and lunch. So I was looking (out of curiosity) at Icon. I believe I picked summer of 2025. A regular JS was about $5200 per person and the sky was about $8000. So, a difference of $5600 for the 2 of us. Even if the other ships are half that, it’s not worth it. We get 5 drink vouchers each every day and rarely use them all. We share internet so get 4 days free, and usually buy 1 or 2 days. Breakfast in CK is nice but if we cruise more we’ll be pinnacle soon. I’ll look at the cost difference when the new cruises are announced, but I don’t think we’ll upgrade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted October 18, 2023 #44 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It's going to be like some Abbott and Costello bit 1: I'd like to book a junior suite 2: ok great. Remember those don't get suite perks 1: But I just read about Sky Jr Suites 2: Oh yes, that's only Icon, Oasis and Quantum ships 1: OK I'd like to book a jr suite on one of those ships 2: That's great. Remember not all junior suites on those ships get suite perks 1: But you just said.... 2: Yes, only the Sky Junior Suites on those ships, not Sea Junior suites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum class deck 13 Darn, this just went from a definite yes to a hard no for me. Quantum deck 13 right under the pool deck & Johnny Rockets and Oasis deck 6 right over the lifeboats. It's basically the JS's that probably sold last up to now, with maybe lower prices to get them sold. Now, they will sell at a premium. It's a pretty genius move, actually, I have to give them that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think if they are realigning all these categories they'd take a moment and align sky class perks across the limited ships that have sky class. Guess not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
