sharkey37 Posted April 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows why the AOS is $600 pp (in a jr. suite) cheaper than the serenade of the seas for next year march. I am currently booked on the serenade and am considering the change, is the AOS just as nice? I can't understand the price difference. Thanks, Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janiekins Posted April 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I am also booked in a junior suite on the Serenade for February, 2008. Do you mind telling me what you are paying? I chose the Serenade because it is a smaller ship and a little more elegant than the Adventure. I am taking 2 teenagers and everyone tried to steer me toward the Adventure but I am still going with the Serenade. Not sure why the Adventure is cheaper. Maybe someone can answer this question.

sharkey37 Posted April 12, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm paying $1849 pp for my son (16yrs.) and myself. I'm considering the change, but I liked the different islands of the serenade. I'm not sure if I'll change, the difference in cost is a lot.

Suzanne74 Posted April 12, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hi there, We are on the AOS next March. I too looked at both itineraries before looking at price. I loved the NOS so I knew I would like AOS but I really wanted to go to St. Lucia and try a different ship. Husband did not want to go smaller - he loved the size of the Voyager family. So then I went online and WOW :eek: the price difference blew me away!! AOS was so much cheaper and I jumped on it. We even upgraded to a junior suite for 3 people including all taxes/fees was just slightly over $3K on Easter Week! We paid more then that this year for NOS in a balcony room. We priced Serenade and the cost for a Junior Suite was $4800. HUGE difference and that settled my "who to choose" dilemma quickly. For those with 3/4 passengers, it made a difference too. AOS was only $699 and Serenade was $899. I am so excited to get such a great deal for Easter week. Someone mentioned early March is even cheaper.

sharkey37 Posted April 12, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm going to have to change my reservation, the cost difference is too much. I wish I understood why there is a difference, but I'm going to jump on the chance. I wish it wasn't a year away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racefan04 Posted April 12, 2007 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have been looking at Serenade of the Seas for next February, but all of February is now sold out, or at least it is showing NA for any of the weeks in Feb except for Feb 2. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkey37 Posted April 12, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I called and made the switch and am now booked for March 23. I asked the representative why there was such a difference in price and he said there were just more rooms to sell, but even he was surprised at the difference. If you have other info, please let us know. I feel like I got a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janiekins Posted April 12, 2007 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Racefan04, Serenade of the Seas is not sold out for February, 2008. I called yesterday. They are doing some sort of an inventory right now. February will be open again for booking within the next couple of days. I chose Serenade of the Seas because I like the itinerary and I like a smaller ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey37 Posted April 12, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I hope we can get other members on the same cruise (March 23) and meet up for frozen drinks. We have lots of time to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
