Relax@Sea Posted January 21, 2013 #151 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I originally booked a Deluxe Owners Suite (S2) on the Pearl. A few weeks after booking the Pearl was chartered but instead of canceling the cruise, NCL said the Jewel would do the itinerary. Since the Jewel doesn't have a DOS they upgraded us to the Garden Villa (S1). I've heard under normal circumstances, NCL won't upgrade people to a GV. That is the exact situation we have for our 3/24/2013 we booked the DOS on the Pearl and when it got chartered NCL moved us to the GV on the Jewel. Thank you Gene Simmons.

English101 Posted March 16, 2013 #152 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The garden villa is really set up for a large group of people. The living room has seating for 8-10, the indoor and outdoor dining rooms each seat 8 and the upstairs sundeck had two tables, 8 chairs and about 10 lounge chairs (and a hammock). I would never book the room for two people (it was an upgrade) but it costs about the same for 6 people in a garden villa as it does for 6 people in three haven suites. I'm curious what category you were booked in before the upgrade. And also how much did the upgrade cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We originally booked a DOS (S2). The reason we were upgraded is because they changed ships (from the Pearl to the Jewel) and the Jewel doesn't have a DOS. There was no extra charge.

The mother of all upgrades :) I did not win the powerball this weekend, so I will have to wait to book this suite :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
