Price Drop, Room Upgrade Question

[KLStrategies]

Ten day until out cruise on the Freedom of the Sea and the price dropped again. I could upgrade from a hump balcony mid-ship on the 7th deck to a junior suite about half way down the hall (towards the bow) still mid-ship on the 9th deck for $10 per person, TOTAL!

 

I don't know this ship, any advise?

 

Thanks in advance!!!

I would be on that in a heartbeat - good luck and enjoy!

If you can get a JS for that I would jump all over it!!!!

I would upgrade immediately for a JS at the same price. Call now!!! :)

I agree !

There is always a lot of talk about cabins on the hump. I think they are over rated. Go for the JS. You will love it.

[foolishmortals]

Did you upgrade to the JS?? I would have! $10 per person total for a JS is a great upgrade price! We've stayed in JSs on the Freedom and her sister ship, Idependence, on Deck 9 before and have been very happy with our rooms.

$10pp for double cruise points is a steal... a bathroom you can actually take 3 steps in for $1.42/day is priceless :)

I'm working on it. The price jumped up and now is back down. On hold with RCC, 15 minute wait time.

 

Cross your fingers & toes everyone!

I agree, $10 for a JS is incredible. Probably half the ship is trying to call to upgrade at that price!

 

Hump balconies are nice, but do you really care if there's maybe an extra 20-30 square feet out there? I'd say no. But the extra room in a JS would be much appreciated.

[NathanJax]

JS all the way... that is a steal.

Finally got through to someone and he states only a couple rooms available, an interior & ocean view. There is discrepancy with website possibly due to others booking or changing rooms.

 

Will keep trying!! Thanks for the input!

Are you able to just upgrade through the website? I've never tried it after final payment, so I was just wondering. If possible it may be quicker.

See if you can put one on hold on the website. If you can, call book and release the hold and have them book it for you. :)

[KLStrategies]

No can only book a new cruise, but I am not able to see the JR suites as available. I'll keep trying because you never know.

 

Won't complain if not though, I only have 9 days, a great balcony room and its a DD15yrs & mom trip! :D

As mentioned above, start a new reservation 24 hour hold to keep the room, while you are on hold on the phone.

[ARCruisinNana]

Great deals like that can disappear very quickly as there are probably very few cabins available for upgrades:( If there aren't any JSs listed on the website, there aren't any available.

For an upcoming cruise I have noticed that a guaranteed balcony cabin price has dropped to less that we have made final payment for an interior cabin. I rang RCL Uk for an upgrade and after 24 hours they have come back to say that it is not possible as we have already received OBC of $100.

 

Any views on this?

Could very well be correct. Booking rules are different for European bookings.

[Piepkorn]

To the OP - If you have a second phone, have them 'call you'. I've heard people have been very successful with this. :D

[mspink98]

Try looking for a different number of guests, also. A couple of years ago someone on CC mentioned that they had cancelled their JS on our next cruise and on a whim I went to look for prices. Nothing showed up when I searched for 2 pax, but it did when I searched for 4. No clue why, but I was able to call and upgrade for about $50/person, which was well worth it. For $10, it's an absolute steal! Hope you can get it!

Keep trying and keep watching prices. We had an E2 balcony last fall. Upgraded to a JS and then was able to move to a GS. Both times the pricing I caught was short term and didn't last long. Good luck!

I'm from the Uk and for £100pp upgraded from an OV to a balcony gty. I would phone back. Never heard the OBC reason before.

[cruiselife4me]

Take it for sure!!! Hope I get that call next April. :)

[Robkat]

Love, love, LOVE the JS's!

And the price you're trying to get ... terrific!

We've been in them on FOS, on deck 9, several times, and think that's a great location.

Hope it works out for you. Please let us know the outcome.

Have a great cruise wherever you end up.:)
