STANMELB Posted June 20, 2019 #2628 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Received a Royal Up offer this morning for our 8-18-2019 Harmony Cruise. 59 days out from our sail date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyHutt Posted June 20, 2019 #2629 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Confirmed upgrade from OV to JS on Majesty 7/3. Bid was probably more aggressive than necessary but we didn’t foresee regulation change when bid was made... was a sold out boat to Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom Christmas week 2014 we paid $890 ( total for 2 ) for a D2 balcony and got some OBC while on board for shortened port stops. I think Ken paid less than that.

And our 50% credit for the itinerary change covers the majority of it so it’s “almost free.” 😂 That spread is definitely worth the extra space, balcony and most importantly, bigger shower. 😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fireworks this year are in the park outside our balcony, so I'm staying put. 🎆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep we paid $725 CDN per cabin or $1450 for our 2 cabins. i think it was $450 OBC per cabin and then I won the next cruise draw and got another $300. Had $200 to start with from a book on board so I had $1400 US OBC on a cruise that cost me $1450 CDN. Doubt I’ll ever see another deal like that.

I would keep checking. Things may free up this weekend or next week. Remember, their goal is to fill the rooms. So with every opportunity to get someone to move up a category or two with the bidding, allows them the opportunity to sell a lower priced room to someone looking to get on the ship. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I hope it eventually works!! I saw a one br aqua theater online called and it would be $2550 more than what we have already paid for the grand suite. Basically I am hoping to get something for just under $1K more. I would love just a little bit more space with 5 of us basically all being adult sizes.

And some of the balconies are very small. I wouldn't bid on that one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if I can move up any higher I would love that. Question for anyone - If you bid on one to get up to the next level of suites that inc. gratuities, unlimited drinks and specialty restaurants do you get refunded for already buying all that? Basically we could put a nice bid in if those fees get reimbursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
