McCutie Posted March 30, 2010 #26 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just getting a chance to respond and what I meant was that the rate was really cheap for that catagory A1 GV, not that I thought 5 grand was cheap in general : ) : ) Sorry if that came off rude, not intended to be. I have never seen it that low no matter what time of the year....Did they offer you a deal on the A3 CYvillas? Just trying to figure out why they offered you an AB Penthouse and then jumped to a A1 GV without offering you the A3 since they are a few still available... Anywho, you are going to have fun no matter what so enjoy and maybe I will see you as I am coming off : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywho, you are going to have fun no matter what so enjoy and maybe I will see you as I am coming off : ) Not rude at all. I appreciate everyone's effort to convince her....... :) Maybe they will come down a bit...my wife said she would do the penthouse for 500 more not 1000. This is because her friends were upgraded from a mini suite to a penthouse for that rate....so unfortunately, they set the standard in her head. Not realizing they probably sailed off season. Still trying..... if we only go with the mini suite I will still be happy. We have never had anything above a standard balcony before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvsnana Posted March 30, 2010 #29 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Sorry if I did not see it in the other reply's, but which category penthouses were offered for your upgrades? AE,AD,A3,AA,A1? If indeed, it was for the A1 Garden Villa, I agree with McCutie, that that is a wonderful price:) But, we all have a certain budget we are willing to spend on a cruise and the additional $ could be used for other expenses. Please let us know what you decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marelind Posted March 30, 2010 #31 Share Posted March 30, 2010 No, Garden Villa only for the liquor Garden Villa gets 6 bottles, the AA Owner's Suite gets 3 which you can exchange for wine, so I'd think they'd work on exchanging it for beer. And, as long as we are talking about the GV, isn't there something where you get limo transportation to and from the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojangirl90066 Posted March 30, 2010 #32 Share Posted March 30, 2010 WAIT A SECOND ... ARE YOU SAYING THERE IS FREE DRINKS INVOLVED IN THE UPGRADE. SODA AND LIQUOR (MAYBE BEER ?? ) ... EVEN IN THE PENTHOUSE???????????? :eek: No free drinks, but you will never forgive yourself if you don't do the upgrade! Take the courtyard villa OMG there is no question about it. The suite life on NCL is not to be passed up! Either the AB or the CV would give the kids their own bedroom. pick up the phone!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCutie Posted March 31, 2010 #33 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The limo service is from the ship to the airport....One way only. That is what I was told today and you have to organize this with the concierge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theresa522 Posted March 31, 2010 #35 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I think they were offered the Garden Villa, not the Courtyard Villa They were offered two deals. One for the Garden Villa and the other was for a courtyard. $2000 or $1000 and something.. OMG what a great deal either way I would grab it.

theshortchef Posted March 31, 2010 #36 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Both deals are great ... and my guess is that the upgrade to the Garden Villa has been taken by someone else by now. They usually make an offer like that to several people and it is first come first serve. At that price, I would bet it was taken within minutes. If it is still available, I would so go for it. As far as drinks, you would get 6 bottles and while wine is an option, beer is not. You will get all the soda and bottled water you want. Someone else suggested inviting a few more people to take advantage of the 3-8 person rate, a great idea as there is plenty of room and maybe that would convince your better half. As for the AB penthouse, again go for it; it is so worth it. Not only do you get the suite perks (Cagney's alone is worth it) you will get a 2nd bedroom and bathroom. The main bathroom in that room is to die for!!! I wish I could use that shower every day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickechambers1@aol.com Posted March 31, 2010 #37 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The Garden Villa is typically in the $20K per week range and you aren't willing to pay $5K ??? That's crazy in my opinion. Ridiculous actually... If you can't justify that, perhaps stay in the room you have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as long as we are talking about the GV, isn't there something where you get limo transportation to and from the port? For us (GV on the Dawn), while we could substitute the liquor for wine, we asked about beer and were told "no!" I'll be curious to see what they tell you.

ImADaneFan Posted March 31, 2010 #39 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Kevin, Here's another thought. If there are currently 4 of you can you come up with another couple for the 3rd bedroom? That would lower you cost. We were offered an upsell to the GV on the Star and were able to add a 3rd couple. You do get 6 bottles of alchol, all your sodas and water. It was a once in a lifetime cruise. There are some pics of the GV in the Star in my signature line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be curious to see what they tell you. We going in an A3 courtyard villa on the Jade do we benifit from the liquor deal? It is the first I have heard and could be very beneficial does it just apply to cruises booked direct with NCL or are travel agent bookings included?Sorry if ive nicked someones thread its my first time on here.

Life is good !!!! Thank you everyone. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella2 Posted March 31, 2010 #42 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Good for you! :D Now the trick is to finagle a tour of the Garden Villa so she can see what she is missing out on...in case the upsell call ever comes again! ;) Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peg013 Posted March 31, 2010 #44 Share Posted March 31, 2010 While I would have jumped on that deal for the GV, I hope you have a fantastic time in your AB!

When we board, we would usually have lunch in the Main Dining Room.....now we can go to Cagneys ???? Have to read up on using the perks...all newto me. :confused: :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite for lunch at Cagney's in January was the Grilled Aspargus(sp). It was a meal in it's self. MMMMMM only 206 more days until I get Cagney's again.

ImADaneFan Posted March 31, 2010 #49 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just warn your wife about the shower in the AB. They have a full length window IN the shower. :eek: Be sure to pull the shade if you're showering while in port, or everyone will get a show. I almost forgot and the window washers went past just as I was getting out.:eek::o Scared the bejesus out of me.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaMaire2 Posted March 31, 2010 #50 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I would do the GV in a split second. We just got home from the Jewel. We had booked in an AB and was able to do a upsell to an A3.......All I can say is WOW, it is going to be hard to ever go back. The service is outstanding. The Courtyard area, with pool, steam rooms, hot tubs, small workout area are great. The upper level sun deck was perfect. Having lunch brought up to the courtyard was a treat. If you can swing it, I promise it will be a vacation you will never forget. We enjoyed every second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
