CruiseWhere Posted October 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm putting this out there as I/we are curious on whether you would or would not have taken the upsell... TA left a msg for us...we are booked on the Eurodam, one week Western Caribbean in a Neptune Suite but offering an upsell of $999.00/person. Would you take it or not????? Inquiring minds want to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted October 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 12, 2013 No I would not, now if it were 999.00 for two I would, but ofcourse that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted October 12, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I wouldn't but that really makes no difference! Will you regret it forever if you don't take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startwin Posted October 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2013 No, I wouldn't. An extra $2,000 for one week is not worth it to me. But it may be to you.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhsolara Posted October 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2013 To me, an additional $2,000 is another 7-day cruise in a balcony...but it would certainly be tempting too. You have a tough decision. Sent from my iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie2pies Posted October 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I took the upsell on the Eurodam for$999. Not sorry I did it, but never again. I wanted to see what the PS was about. Your butt will definitely get kissed, but the price wasn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquiring minds want to know... We paid that about amount for an upsell to a PH from a Neptune Suite for 11 days on the Zuiderdam in May. Was it worth it--absolutely! We would do it again if we got the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 12, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2013 No, we would not have taken that upsell. We've been in Pinnacle Suites and would not pay that amount extra to stay there again. We are very happy in our "SA" cabins. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquiring minds want to know... What would your total cost be? How much would you save over the posted price? Your title lines says "PS" and the body of the post says "Neptune Suite" Is the upgrade from a Neptune Suite to a Penthouse Suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseWhere Posted October 12, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What would your total cost be?How much would you save over the posted price? Roughly $6300 total in the PS if we take/took the upgrade compared to roughly $9300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseWhere Posted October 12, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Sorry, yes the upgrade/upsell would be from a Neptune to a Pinnacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR NW GUY Posted October 12, 2013 #12 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Go for it! We had the PH on the Oosterdam and it was awesome. I surprised DW and did not tell her.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted October 12, 2013 #13 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Not unless you plan on entertaining a lot. In your cabin, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted October 12, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Cruise where - that price is not bad IMO for the upsell. It sounds like it is less than the mid point between the Neptune Suite and the PS which is where HAL has been pricing. PS on the ship should be very nice. We did the Zuiderdam and really enjoyed it. Now, we were travelling with friends so it was put to good use. If you are travelling with friends, it can make it even better. If it's something you'd like to experience, go for it. If you are happy in your SA then no worries. It might not be available for long - depends upon the others to whom it was offered and if they think it is worth it. The only people who matters is it worth it or not is the two of you. We enjoyed the PS, in room dining (course by course) at the dining room table and the taste of luxury. I'd be very tempted myself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 12, 2013 #16 Share Posted October 12, 2013 A few years ago we were offered the PS for an extra $2000 for 21 day cruise. We took it. $2000 for a 7 day cruise is too much. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseWhere Posted October 12, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thank you EVERYONE for your thoughts and opinions! I received the call when my phone was on silence while in the hospital with my DH. When I happened to be checking my phone 45 mins later and than subsequently calling the TA with our decision, and yes DH said if you want it than book it, it had already been taken. I was upset as we have never experienced one in our only 4 cruises with HAL as we have only booked SA or S cabins. DH on the other hand can't understand why we would need the room etc.....No we are not entertaining so as he put it its all about luxury and vanity:p I just didn't want to hear that I had lost out on a great deal.... Thank you for making me feel better for the most part!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted October 12, 2013 #18 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The PH is really special and I'm so glad I got too experience it. It came at the perfect time for me. It is a little high based on what I paid in Alaska BUT I find upsells are very high lately. When I took the upsell I phoned Seattle and I bet she didn't even have her coat off yet. You can't think for a long time. I met a couple on the Oosterdam that said they considered the upsell for days. I told him it was long gone by then.

sppunk Posted October 12, 2013 #19 Share Posted October 12, 2013 come on..... you would book it too if you could! Not for that price, I wouldn't. We don't need that extra space at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 12, 2013 #20 Share Posted October 12, 2013 come on..... you would book it too if you could! We refused upsells to PS. We would not pay $2,000 more for a seven day cruise but would for a 14 dayer. A few years ago we were offered the PS for an extra $2000 for 21 day cruise. We took it. $2000 for a 7 day cruise is too much. JMO I agree. We would have done exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 12, 2013 #21 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I would take it, only time we had a upsell offer for that it was 1750 a person for 7 day cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 12, 2013 #22 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Too late, OP says someone else took it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Terri Posted October 12, 2013 #23 Share Posted October 12, 2013 That's a lot of money. We were offered that for a 14 day Panama Canal cruise on the Maasdam with no charge for the third person. I would not do it for that amount for seven days. We took it only because we were three people and it worked out for us, considering that my BIL is handicapped and it gave us the space we needed. On another occasion we were offered the PS on the Maasdam for 11 days for $799 pp with third person no charge. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giustot Posted October 12, 2013 #24 Share Posted October 12, 2013 This is a difficult post to write. We're on the same cruise with CruiseWhere. I was also booked in an SA and I knew there was still one Pinnacle Suite available and at some point HAL would probably try to up-sell it. But I had been sailing for five years in suites on HAL and was never offered an up-sell, until yesterday. With only one PS available I didn't realize they would offer it to more than one person at a time, why set someone up for disappointment? But they did. I received an email from my TA about 2:15 pm yesterday offering the upgrade. I responded immediately, "Please take it. It's Mona's birthday. You only live once." By 2:30 pm we had the cabin. We've never sailed before in such a large suite. It will be a treat that we'll probably do only once. Catherine and Frank, we look forward to meeting you on the cruise and we would be very happy if you would join us in the cabin one day for drinks. Tom.

They probably offer it to 200 people at once. What I've learned on here is time is of the essence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
