rpouls Posted March 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Couldn't pass up the deal of getting an OS for less than the aft-wrap, plus OBC of $120. I know we'll miss the huge balcony, but I've never had a suite before, so I'm looking forward to the extra cabin space. Early embarking is nice, but didn't sway my decision - the money did;) I was a bit spoiled - had an aft-wrap on two cruises after having an inside (1A) cabin, so I've never had a 'regular' balcony before. Will continue to check for lower rates til I sail - but I'm happy with what I have! Can't wait to cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habby Posted March 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Wow! Congrats. I would have given up the aft wrap for an OS, too, even if they were the same price. Better location IMO. Enjoy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted March 30, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i would have stuck with the aft wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Mach* Posted March 30, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The OS doesn't have a shabby balcony, either. Not quite like the aft wrap but still better than a regular balcony... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I would have given up an aft wrap too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywench Posted March 30, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I love the aft wraps, whether they're a regular vista balcony cabin or a vista suite. One time I had one and they called me to see if I'd upgrade. No way. Love the location, the balcony and the view. Don't want any other cabin or location.

gusandgidgetsmom Posted March 30, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 30, 2011 We have an OS (ocean suite) on the spirit and our kids have the vista I thought that the aft wrap was the same as the vista suite--Is it not? I also thought it was nicer than our OS? I think I am very confused now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same cabin on the Legend too. Loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlrboo Posted March 31, 2011 #14 Share Posted March 31, 2011 We had a Cat 11 Suite on the Triumph, and have had the 9A aft/wraps on the Liberty and Freedom!! :) 9A (category at the time) aft/wraps were by far the best balcony/view, tho' the DW did enjoy the bathroom in the Cat 11 Suite.. :p;) We still book strictly aft, unless we may get offered a 'real' Owners Suite!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted March 31, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 31, 2011 OP, I think you made the right choice. I love aft wraps, but the suites are nice to have - especially since you don't have to deal with that lousy shower curtain that wraps around your legs unless you weight it down.:p We gave up our aft wrap and next door extended balcony on Conquest last year when they offered us a Grand Suite and OBC equivalent to the fares for the extended balcony. That was a great deal - one I don't expect to be repeated. And we booked an aft wrap for our upcoming Glory cruise.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted March 31, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I would keep the aft wrap. DW will spend the time on the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LoveMyBoxer Posted March 31, 2011 #17 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Aft wrap is a suite. Would not give it up for anything. No extra perks, so what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpouls Posted March 31, 2011 Author #19 Share Posted March 31, 2011 No - on Liberty, aft-wrap isn't a suite - but a very nice cabin just the same, based on the same Valor cabin. I know I'll be missing the fantastic view leaving and arriving in ports of call, but - I still am happy to have a suite for the first time. As mentioned earlier, I was spoiled from the get-go having my first balcony cabin an aft-wrap a few years ago. Now I'll have something to compare it to - I'll let you know if I have any regrets!

I'm sure someone will be grateful to see an aft wrap open up this close to sailing date; and those who booked ES and have aft wraps may get to price match as well! Personally, if they want my aft wrap they'll have to offer a free cruise instead of OBC because it's mine all mine! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMedik Posted March 31, 2011 #21 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's showing up on Fare Viewer so be sure and let folks in your CC roll call know so those who booked ES can check their prices; OBC for a price drop is VERY RARE for aft wraps and that's not too bad of a price.

rpouls Posted March 31, 2011 Author #24 Share Posted March 31, 2011 $1079pp for this cabin is an amazing rate - must be the cabin I upgraded from - 8448.

rpouls Posted March 31, 2011 Author #25 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wish I could - I've been checking our roll call, and so far there are no posts. I hope someone is able to grab this cabin, or get OBC for an existing booking.
