Rare azbirdmom Posted January 21, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yay! Congratulations!!! Let us know if you got it! Yes! I didn't post until I heard back that we were assigned a cabin - didn't want to jinx it. I actually had looked at the available suites first and there were two owner's suites open at the time. We must have been second on the list as the other one was gone when our's was booked. There are still 8 other suites available so hopefully there will be other happy campers. Thanks everyone!!!

Wish we were on that cruise with you--as we enjoyed our Sailaway Party on your mini-suite balcony on our South America Cruise. This past October we did the Tokyo to Singapore cruise with some post-cruise time in Angkor Wat. What a fantastic cruise that was (with the exception of the typhon!)

Rare azbirdmom Posted January 22, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Terrific. What cruise are you on. I am still hoping to get an upgrade for ours at the end of February. It's the 2/22 cruise on the Emerald. Hope the offers continue to Arizona folks!

This past October we did the Tokyo to Singapore cruise with some post-cruise time in Angkor Wat. What a fantastic cruise that was (with the exception of the typhon!) Jim and Sandye My gosh, Sandye! Glad you enjoyed your cruise - we almost joined you but opted for the Canary Islands instead. Hope you're doing well and we can cruise again at some point.

Rare azbirdmom Posted January 22, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I hope for your sake the owner is not home!!!! congratulations!!!!! take a few pics for the rest of us... Enjoy the unlimited spa treatments... Ha! We will shoo out the owner if he / she is rude enough not to have vacated for us. And I wish there were unlimited spa treatments as they would lose money on me. I'll enjoy the thermal suite though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted January 22, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Congratulations! Maybe now they'll upgrade me out of my obstructed OCV into your former minisuite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyfish39 Posted January 22, 2015 #18 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Wow that's a great offer - glad you were able to make it happen. We are booked in a minisuite on Emerald for the week before, Feb 15 and would love to be offered an upgrade, but I guess that since they are making offers for Feb 22 it probably means any offers for our cruise have already been made...shame.

shredie Posted January 22, 2015 #20 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Congratulations! Maybe now they'll upgrade me out of my obstructed OCV into your former minisuite. LOL. :D I got an upsell offer from an inside to a balcony in email yesterday. I called to accept, but haven't heard back yet. It was a reasonable offer, I thought. First time I've had an offer for such a big jump in category. Thing is, I had been upgraded already on the inside cabin from a forward room to a midship. Go figure.

Wehwalt Posted January 22, 2015 #23 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I was offered an upsell from balcony to minisuite through my TA this morning for each of my B2B on the Crown 2/2 and 6. The price was $79 per person double occupancy plus the insurance would go up proportionately. So if I took both, $340. I declined it. As a solo cruiser it didn't seem to make sense for me.

caribill Posted January 23, 2015 #25 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Not sure why everyone is so excited about receiving offers to pay more for the cruise. In the past Princess would give these upgrades for free. But why give them for free now when people are willing to pay for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
