Update: we decided not to move forward with the Halloween 24 cruise on Harmony. 😭 We have always planned cruises around the time the kids are already off school so they have to miss less, and they typically don’t have time off around then. I was willing to break that rule (and sacrifice another trip) for a suite lol. Alas, my husband wasn’t loving it, and we both have to agree. But I am going to keep searching and use all the great tips and advice I got from everyone here to find something that fits the budget and the calendar! Thank you all!!

I was wondering about the suite GTY. Are the chances of getting anything above JS almost non-existent? And if you do by some stroke of luck end up in something that is Sky Class, would you automatically get the full suite benefits (SL, CK, etc.)?

Ohhh this is a great suggestion! I need to figure out that date and get it on my calendar!

Wow!! That’s lower than most of the Sky Class suites I’ve seen in my recent search! Well done! 👏👏

Ahhh have so much fun!! Wonder looks just amazing!

OMG thank you!! My kids would go nuts for a Halloween cruise, and that’s a great price! I’m going to put a courtesy hold on that one and see if my husband is on board! Otherwise, he will be handing out candy while me and the kids live that “suite life!” 🤣 J/K…but hopefully he’s up for it!

Oh yeah, I’m fully prepared for that hahaha! Hoping my husband falls under the “sky spell” too…but I doubt it. 🤣

That sounds wonderful…enjoy!! I have been dreaming about Wonder, but had to finally move on as it’s still just a bit too high. Maybe once Icon is actually cruising, Wonder prices will drop? 🤞

Thank you, thank you! I feel like, for myself, the extra cost would be worth it. Both in actual value of being about to use the SL and CK, and also the extra enjoyment of having the suite itself. Now my husband…he would rather book 10 cruises per year, all in inside cabins! 🤣 So we usually meet in the middle and book a few per year in a Balcony.

Thanks @schooner_Drinker! Really appreciate the insight and advice! Do you know when some of the later 2025 sailings will open up? Like is it month by month, or is there a date when a whole season opens at one time? Right now I’m just seeing through April 2025. I did find a couple good deals on grand suites (in the $5k - $6k range), but they were not on Oasis class ships. Right now I’ve kind of got my heart set on the Oasis/Sky combo. But not quite past the sticker shock of said combo yet haha!

Hi! I have sailed RC a few times, but have never looked at booking a suite before. I am looking at booking a Sky Class suite on an Oasis class ship, 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids), on a 7-day sailing in 2024 or 2025. It would need to be in the US, but otherwise I am mostly flexible on dates, departure port, and itinerary. Really just looking for the best deal! So…what would you consider to be a “good” deal? Just did a quick search on the RC website today, and I’m seeing not seeing anything come back much lower than around $9k. Is that about as good as it gets, or can I do much better than that if I bide my time and keep checking?
