WassupBro Posted February 21, 2018 #26 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just tried calling Carnival for an upgrade from 3-person 8b Balcony to Captains Suite, said it was not available. Just checked the website with 5 guests and there's one left.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely At The Top Posted February 21, 2018 #31 Share Posted February 21, 2018 For 2 guests, why would you book the Captains Suite? overkill? The Junior Suite is designed for 2 guests, wouldnt that be best suited for a couple that wanted a suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WassupBro Posted February 21, 2018 #32 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Interesting, you'd think they would want to sell it I feel like travel companies such as Cruises/Air Industry etc... have caught on with the last minute booking practices and actually refuse offering sales for this exact reason.

Maybe. I have yet to get a price drop close to a cruise sail date, if anything, just see them go up. We have Thanksgiving booked this year as well, and the prices are climbing. I typically book early and not think to much about it. Since I have a guarantee cabin for this cruise, I've become intrigued with how cabins get booked.

How awesome would that be to have that suite It was not my intent to imply you couldnt afford it, my apologies if you took it that way. I would think that for 2 people, why would you want to book a suite for 5. That was just my train of thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Flyer Posted February 21, 2018 #36 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Mysterious. Why can' t 2 people or 3 people or 4 book the most expensive suite . One reason is that there's more to revenue than the cabin price. The larger cabin set up for four or five is priced with the expectation of how much all those individuals will spend onboard. So, two people in that large cabin meant for four/five, even if they pay the "extra" fare of the non-existent other passengers, would deny the cruise line the onboard purchase revenue that would've been associated with the other passengers meant to be in the cabin.
