sixpackeddie Posted February 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2009 We are currently booked on a 7 day carribean cruise aboard the Eurodam in a HH obstructed guarantee. Hal sent me a email offering us a SA suite cabin on deck 7 midship for $500.00 per person. Is this offer worth it? It is a huge jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weelv2cruise Posted February 13, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2009 HH to an SA? If the obstructed view bothers you then jump with both feet if you want suite amenities. Otherwise if there is a smaller jump to an unobstructed balcony I'd take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpackeddie Posted February 13, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted February 13, 2009 This offer through HAL is only available for the HH category(oceanview obstructed) to a SA Deluxe suite. Im just not sure it is worth the additional $1000.00 per couple to move? I have never had a suite but have heard there a lot of ammedities with it.

Cruzman Posted February 13, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Priority boarding, exclusive use of the Neptune Lounge, complimentary unlimited laundry and dry cleaning, complimentary corsage and boutenierre (sp) for the first formal night, Complimentary in suite high tea, comlimentary hors de' ouvres on request, complimentary use of umbrella and binoculars, Priority dining times and reservations in the Pinacle Grill, priority tendering, priority disembarkation, and I've probably left off a couple. Couple that with a huge cabin with a huge balcony and yes, I'd spend the $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpackeddie Posted February 14, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks for your response, it is alot of value for a additional $1000.00 considering we were in a obstructed guarantee which really only costed us $1300.00usd so with the additional $1000.00usd we are in for $2300.00 for the 2 of us. I checked on the HAL website and a typical SA rate on the Eurodam 7 day carribean cruise is about $4700.00usd. Are there specific SA cabins that are larger than others? Thanks again Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonqbc Posted February 14, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2009 How long do you have to decide?, I would jump on it right away they are probably all the same size. I am paying more for a regular balcony as are probably a lot of other people. Take it when you can and dont look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpackeddie Posted February 14, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I did it. My wife may flip out when see sees the VISA bill especially when we are in a so called recession. I think I will wait to tell her once we arrive on the Eurodam and she sees the suite, then I will let her know it costs us a bit more. There are still 4 cabins left for this offer but you must be booked in a oceanview to qualify to upgrade to the SA deluxe suite. I guess they really over sold the oceanview cabins. If anyone wants more info on this offer please let me know. Thanks Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonqbc Posted February 14, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Was time you made up your mind lol I dont think you will regret it at all, Question which date are you sailing I might try for a upsell if its on the same one as me, even though its only for oceanview maybe I could get lucky also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixpackeddie Posted February 14, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I also want to mention that there is a different HAL phone number to call to enquire about these upgrade offers. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
