neptune worth the upsell?

[bigwhistle]

5 days until we leave on the Oosterdam. Got a call yesterday that we can move from a SY to a Neptune for $300 per person. Today it is down to $200 per person. Is the difference in suites worth the price?

[cruz chic]

Yes!

[Krazy Kruizers]

We think so.

[taxmantoo]

Absolutely!

[sue1898]

Yes and both concierges on the Oosterdam were terrific when we were on less than 2 weeks ago! Enjoy!

By all means grab the Suite, but beware - Once you have experienced the Suite life, it is hard to go back to a lesser cabin.

[Typhoon1]

Good deal. If it's worth it, is only a question you can answer depending on your budget.

[PathfinderEss]

Yes, yes, yes, what are you waiting for, grab it.:D

[cbr663]

That depends on what is important to you. The SY is already a larger cabin, and we found that the Neptune has more room that is not that useable. The larger balcony of the Neptune is nice.

 

I suggest you review the perks and see what you like and don't. Many are available on request only, so if you don't ask, you won't receive. We didn't enjoy the Neptune Lounge at all and found it to be the most unwelcoming area on the ship.

 

One perk that some enjoy is breakfast in the Pinnacle Grill. We much prefer our breakfast on our balcony and would gladly select that option over the PG.

 

Depending upon your likes and tastes, that $400 extra could be used to purchase the suites amenities package for your SY cabin. That is a more worthwhile value for your money, IMO, than the Neptune Suite.

For $200 for a 7 day cruise I would jump on it in a heartbeat, especially since you are cruising Alaska.

Don't waste time reading our posts to see what we say. If you do it will be gone at that price. That's a very good deal IMO. grab it before you lose it.

Yes, IMO, it is worth it.

 

If you have not accepted the offer by now, you well could have waited too long and missed the chance but I am thinking your probably accepted it before you posted?

 

Please let us know if you were successful. :)

so true!

[RJ2002]

I'd definitely take it, IF it's still available. At that price, they won't be around long.

truer words were never spoken!

For a 7-day cruise, no. For a 15-day cruise, by all means. It also depends on the itinerary. If it is a port-intensive, perhaps not.

[erewhon]

Did you take the upsell?

Have a fabulous cruise.

[PathfinderEss]

I hope Bigwhistle comes back and tells whether they got the up sell or not.:D

[bigwhistle]

We are still holding off. I told my TA that if it gets down to $100 per person we would do it. Since the SY is the 1st suite we have ever taken advantage of, even if we don't get to the Neptune we are in for much more space than our normal cruising.

[sail7seas]

Certainly your choice.

Only you know what it is worth to you.

Please let us know if you get the offer you are seeking. :)

Good luck. Enjoy your cruise either way.
