fridaythe13th Posted August 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2013 $1,600 total for two, to go from a B1 to a suite GTY. Not sure if it makes any difference but right now there is only one JS left. Would that give me a better chance to get more than a JS? I know it's a gamble with a gty so I guess I'd have to be happy paying $1,700pp for a JS (or above if lucky).

cruisinfanatic Posted August 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If money is no object, why not book the suite. If money is ($1600 more than you are already paying), NO Way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted August 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2013 $1600 would be a lot for us to pay. I would not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted August 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Would not do it. We book oceanview balconies, but would not pay that much more just to get to a JS or any suite for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMaxwell Posted August 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2013 JS (someone correct me if I am wrong) does not get you double points or any lounge access (if you are not already Diamond or higher). A little bit more cabin space at over $200 per day seems like a lot for very little. To answer your question, no I would not spend the money on that upgrade.

AustinCruise Posted August 20, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I would not pay that much more for a JS. Double points do not mean that much to me. I would pay that much for a GS, esp on Oasis. Tough call for a suite gty. Not sure what I would do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooth Posted August 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I wouldn't pay 1600 additional on top of what you paid, but if the total price was 1600 for the two of you, I'd jump on that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macruisefan Posted August 20, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The only person that can answer this is you. I'm cruising solo in a suite and wouldn't hesitate to spend the money. Others think that is wasteful and exorbitant. Some people stay at a discount hotel the night before the cruise, others get an oceanfront suite. There is no way anyone on here can tell you how much you feel comfortable spending.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 20, 2013 #11 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If there is only 1 JS left, they may upgrade those that paid full price for a JS, to give the suite gtys' a JS....just a thought! I love JS's.....much more comfortable than a standard cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMOMOM Posted August 20, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm not sure with your message exactly what you meant .... BUT, you DO get double points with a JS first of all. Secondly, I booked a gty JS ... never got upgraded to the GS, but got a great location on the hump. We always book JSs, mostly because we love the extra room. And, you DO get priority boarding which is nice. I also think there are a few other little perks too, no conciege (sp?) like with the GS and above, but that stuff doesn't matter to us. If it's $1600 for 2 total, that is a STEAL for a JS on the Allure! We thought we got a great deal a year and 1/2 ago on the Oasis for $1600pp. I would go for it ... but that's me! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridaythe13th Posted August 21, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted August 21, 2013 We got the B1 for $900pp and the W would be an additional $720pp. The double points doesn't matter to me but I think I'll watch the prices as we are happy with our B1, though more space is enticing....

My opinion: I absolutely would not pay $1600 to move to a GS from a Boardwalk Balcony on the Allure or Oasis. More than most ships, you will be out and about and experiencing all that the ship has to offer. :) JMHO YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $1000 more to move from the JS to the GS. It was well worth it to me or at least I hope it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
