missty Posted May 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2008 We leave tomorrow for the Gem Med. cruise. We were booked into a BD Balcony for $2344.00 total for cabin. Upgrade call about a month ago for $300.00 more to move to a mini-suite. ($2644.00) Took it. NOW, just got an email for a Courtyard Villa or a Penthouse for $1100.00 more total per cabin. So our price would be $2744.00 Not sure if I should take it or not. I would LOVE too!! But, this is a port intensive cruise, would I be able to enjoy it like I should??

Help!! missty Hi, The new price for the Villa would be $3,744.00. If you can afford it and would not be taking spending money away from your trip, then I would say go for it!!! Again, it is $3,744.00 which sounds excellent for a villa.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne S Posted May 21, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Go for it. A mini suite is nothing; you have to contact the concerige for anything as she does does visit you as she does the suites. A Penthouse or Courthouse Villa is a wonderful experience and does not usually come at such a reasonable price. We leave tomorrow for the Gem Med. cruise.

fridaythe13th Posted May 21, 2008 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2008 WOW! I would make a counter just to see how they respond but I would definitely take it for the $1,100, you won't regret it. I have pictures of the Courtyard Villa in my webshots link below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashdog_1 Posted May 21, 2008 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2008 That seems to be a unanimous yes, if you can afford $1100 more. Sounds like a steal to me! Let us know if you take it or if you bargained it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahine56 Posted May 21, 2008 #16 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Take it. We've been in Courtyard Villa & PH AB. You'll love it. Next cruise is in an AE and yes I would take an upsell. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missty Posted May 21, 2008 Author #17 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thank you all! I have been emailing this NCL rep. Very nice guy. I gave a counter offer, and he is going to talk to his supervisor, and will email me back. Keep your fingers crossed for me!! I really can't afford the $1100.00 THis Med cruise with all the excursions, etc. is costing. So, we will see if they will take what I offered. I will keep you updated!

garycarla Posted May 21, 2008 #19 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hope you get the deal you want. The penthouse and villas are really nice and a real step up. If money is tight, well, money is tight. PS - This is what is called an UPSELL, not an upgrade. And, for those that are new here, they will call you and you can not call to ask about an upsell.

acrna Posted May 21, 2008 #20 Share Posted May 21, 2008 On that trip, an A2 cabin (probably the courtyard villa), is priced at $4500 per person. So it is a $9000 cabin for $3700. Good deal if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help!! missty If you have the money.. TAKE IT.. that is a ONCE in a lifetime offer. Rarely will you get so lucky. And to get a Garden Villa for 3700.00. WOW.. So many more perks come with that than any other suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoyageVirgin Posted May 23, 2008 #23 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Incredible deal - as the AA Owners Suites are still listed at 3999. per person - Take the deal - but first make sure is doesn't say and extra 1000. per person. but even with that it would still be worth it.
