darrengs Posted September 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Well I just got off of the phone with NCL, I was booked in a category SE, cabin 9000, Penthouse with large balcony, for our upcoming November cruise on the GEm. We had booked this room for our family of 4, and according to the rep the double sofa beds were delivered as single sofa beds. So we have been upgraded free of charge to a category S3 room 9504, A Haven Owners suite with large balcony. This was a pleasant surprise!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammax Posted September 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2011 i received the same upgrade offer, (exact cabin 9504)however, refused it. currently booked in courtyard villa, so although owners suite has more square feet, the two separate bedrooms, as well as additional bathroom was more appealing to me. also, i staying on the 14th floor is more convenient. just hope i won't regret not having the much larger balcony on deck 9.

LisaDee Posted September 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Lucky you!! We have the cabin 9000 booked on the Star in November. Anyone know the sofabed situation on the Star - are they singles or doubles (if they've come in at all)? We've only got 3 people in that cabin (booked my other child in his grandparents' suite) so unfortunately no chance of getting upgraded for us :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosieo Posted September 15, 2011 #11 Share Posted September 15, 2011 We got a call today too about the single sleeper sofa. We have an aft penthouse. They gave us an inside across the hall for my sons at no extra charge. We are happy with that, my hubby and I now have our own room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentHill Posted September 15, 2011 #15 Share Posted September 15, 2011 All of you that got upgrades are so lucky! lol Being as it's just the wife and I, I wont be getting any upgrades due to single sleeper sofa's :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDebbie Posted September 15, 2011 #16 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Sweet suite deals! I guess this is why the SF's have been off the site this week. What a bummer to get single sofa sleepers instead of doubles. Bet NCL is really reaming that vendor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrengs Posted September 15, 2011 Author #17 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I just told my family and they are all very excited. LOL, my PCC just called in response to an email I sent moments before. He had seen this posting on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagie Posted September 15, 2011 #19 Share Posted September 15, 2011 From the pictures of these suites I don't think that you could fit a double sleeper sofa in that spot - even with a smaller bed. As with some of the others, we are a party of three so we probably won't get any freebees either - just a wonderful view from a great deck and a bed that folds away during the day - perfect for the mother in law.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Sailor Posted September 15, 2011 #20 Share Posted September 15, 2011 NCL is the best :D We also were booked in an AFT Penthouse for 4.....Not anymore we are in a 2 Bedroom Penthouse suite!!!! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partyatsea Posted September 15, 2011 #21 Share Posted September 15, 2011 From the pictures of these suites I don't think that you could fit a double sleeper sofa in that spot - even with a smaller bed. We've had these rooms a few times and totally agree. We both wondered how they were gonna fit it when it was first announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrengs Posted September 15, 2011 Author #22 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I honestly thought that they were calling to tell me that they would be using rollaway beds as I have heard that this was being done. Luckily I had set my phone to forward the NCL number to my cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFO-F/A Posted September 15, 2011 #23 Share Posted September 15, 2011 These rooms used to be named Romance Suites. :p I was wondering how the heck they could all of a sudden say they sleep 4 when they were originally supposed to be a romantic room for 2! Congratulations to all who booked an aft penthouse with 4 persons and have received an upgrade. It's very nice of NCL to do this. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Sailor Posted September 15, 2011 #24 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Yes it was very nice of them, my whole family is psyched! :D But alas will we be able to cruise in a lower category after this??:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
