antsmom Posted June 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I need advice really quickly. I have the chance to upgrade from a mini suite to an AB two bedroom on the Gem in Medit. Only $600 total, but we were already spending close to what we could afford. We have two boys with us, so the space would be great. Is this a no brainer?

OceanDreaming2 Posted June 1, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I would do it! The boys will have a separate bedroom and bath. Plus you'll have a foldout couch in the LR. And full suite benefits. Yes, a no-brainer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peg013 Posted June 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Extra bedroom, suite perks for only $600. - I do it in a heartbeat! Now if you had a aft suite, I would have to think hard but not from minisuite to full suite. JUST DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tantine Posted June 1, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We upgraded for $696 from mini suite to AB on the Jewel. Leaves this Saturday and we can't wait!!! From what I've read, there's no comparison between the space and perks of a suite vs minisuite. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsmom Posted June 1, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I did it! Couldn't get ahold of my husband to ask his opinion so I took the leap for all of us. Hope I did the right thing! Thanks for the encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the encouragement. YOU DID THE RIGHT THING......!!! You WILL be SO HAPPY when you walk through that cabin door and see ALL the space, the seperate bedroom and bath for your boys.....!!! The "only" draw back to being in an AB is that you will NEVER want to have anything less on ALL future cruises......!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbye Posted June 1, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Congrats! I think you'll love it. But remember to put the tips for the butler and concierge into your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can upgrade to an AB from a mini for $600 jump on it They tried to get us to upgrade from an AE to A villa And wanted $5500 additional we passed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdzkatz Posted June 1, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Just to put yourself at ease, when you are in the VIP area waiting to board ask the concierge if there is any way you can peek into a minisuite before you go to your AB. As soon as you see your AB you will realize it was some of the best money you have ever spent. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the encouragement. I read your own answer before I could reply and say 'GOOD FOR YOU"! You will LOVE IT!!! You can always find a way to scrimp when you get home. That's what I do. It's coupons and BoGos all year, but when I am on vacation... I want the suite life. Enjoy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see the mini when embarking, it's very easy to see them on disembarkation day... when the doors are open and they are cleaning.

ColinIllinois Posted June 1, 2010 #14 Share Posted June 1, 2010 No one is ever on their deathbed saying "man, I wish I had saved $600 more". Life is short, enjoy it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. H. Posted June 1, 2010 #15 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Good thing you didn't reach your husband. WTG!!!! Enjoy it. Make sure you read up on all there is to the 'suite life' before you go. Wouldn't want you to miss out on the VIP treatment RIGHT AFTER SECURITY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
