srjones1 Posted October 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ok folks, I need a little good advice. I got a call from the upgrade fairy just a while ago... As of now I have an OV, Midship, Empress on Ecstasy for a 5 day. He's offering a Junior Suite with an obstructed view for $250 more and a Grand Suite for $400 more. The wife and I can't decide if it's worth the extra money. We're quite content with our room but it might be worth the splurge this time. What would you guys do?

MichelleChell Posted October 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If your content then save the $ and enjoy your trip. I wouldn't upgrade for that much for a 5 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted October 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Go for the grand suite that's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted October 21, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Never stayed in a suite so think i would go for the grand suite just for experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ykgorbie Posted October 21, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I don't think I would just for a 5 night cruise - UNLESS you've never had either a balcony or a suite before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterloomarc Posted October 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I wouldn't do the obstructed Jr. Not a bad deal for the real suite though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khloella Posted October 21, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've never stayed in a Junior Suite on a Fantasy Class ship, so this is just from what I've gathered. But, I haven't heard great things about the Junior Suites. If it were me, I would do the Grand Suite, or stay where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srjones1 Posted October 21, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted October 21, 2013 After serious consideration we decided that the GS upgrade was almost as much as we paid for our OV so effectively doubling our room cost, the JS didn't really grab our attention for some reason so I called back to decline and was offered a regular balcony three doors down from our original cabin for $100 more. That seemed reasonable enough so we took that. Thanks for everyones input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted October 22, 2013 #13 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Good deal. BTW usually called upsell fairy unless they are giving the upgrade away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed reasonable enough so we took that. Thanks for everyones input! That's a lot better of an upgrade/upsell offer than we received. They sent us an email with an offer to upgrade from our 3 pax OV on Upper to a balcony on Main for $480 :eek:. That's almost double what we paid. When I looked online, after mentally adding the $480 to what we paid to our existing rate, the "special deal" they were offering to us was the same rate available to everyone. We declined the offer. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
