What do you'all think ? I have never had a suite, so I may be way off base, but that 800.00 would pay for all my excursions and drinks, plus casino money...so no, I would not do it personally!

SunnyDayz4me Posted November 8, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does it come with your own private butler???:p I'm not sure even that would make it worth it ! After all, how much time do you spend in the cabin :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I turned it down....Free would have been a no-brainer... :p But, wondered what everyone thought....especially those that may have stayed in a suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted November 8, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thats an upsell not an upgrade, an upgrade is free. Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer2 Posted November 8, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 8, 2011 We would have turned it down also for that price. Like the other poster said, it would cover our excursions, drinks, photos, etc. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjl1960 Posted November 8, 2011 #9 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I got that same call yesterday. We have an ocean suite booked for next week, they called and offered to upgrade us for a substantial amount. No thanks. We splurged this trip to get an Ocean Suite. Of course if they wanted to do it for free, because I am such a good guy...great. But I am sure I wouldn't have found out about that until I got to the port. They are trying to get all the money they can out of the cruise. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising_kenboy Posted November 8, 2011 #11 Share Posted November 8, 2011 They called me last week, from 8F balcony to ocean suite for $540 total on a 5 night cruise. I passed. They made it sound good though, room and balcony size comparison, priority boarding, ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddylover Posted November 8, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Nope, way too much....if they have vacancies they should fill them at a discount, not the published rate (could have booked it yourself if you had wanted to spend that much more $$). For us to accept an upsell, the offer would have to be a "deal"...we book far out and pick right where we want to be to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
