Suite assignments

[banditcat]

This may have been answered before but when do you get your suite assignment? We have the run of the ship for the Dec 4th cruise on the Legend.

Generally you should receive your suite assignment about 30 days prior to your cruise. However, if there is a full sailing that may be delayed until up to only a few days before your departure. I have found that suite assignments as of late are being given a bit later than "normal".

[banditcat]

Thank you for the information. I will look forward to finding out the assignment since this will be our first cruise on the Seabourn.

I have received documents with no suite asssigned and then written in the number after talking with my TA. NO matter, it will be wonderful!

Hannah - We will be joining you on the Legend on Dec 4th. Where are you from? This will be our first time on Seabourn as well. We're looking forward to the experience.

Hi Madeline and Maurice

 

We are from Tulsa OK. We are really forward to the experience. I will be glad to meet all of the wonderful people that post on this board.

Henry,

 

Is run-of-the-ship the same as A-guaranty?

 

Thanks,

Denyse

In most instances the effect is the same. The difference is in the pricing as a ROS is less expensive.

Why would anyone book an A Gty if it is more than ROS? You cant get any "lower" a category than A. Maybe just a limited # of ROS offered?

Dan, the "Run of the Ship" suites are limited......I try and book at least 6 months in advance, sometimes 1 year. Usually I am able to obtain the 110%......excellent for a solo travler!:p

 

Hope you are O.K. in Florida!

There are actually a few different ROS with an increasing scale of single supplements to go along with them. They are extremely limited, even moreso than the A GTY. As Martita said, they go very early once the cruise is opened for booking. (Of course you might get lucky if someone subsequently cancels as they usually go back into inventory. But don't count on it.)

[bldsld]

My question, though, and I think it is what Host Dan is also curious to know, is: what exactly is the difference between an ROS booking (based on double occupancy, not single) and an A-guaranty, in terms of pricing? As the A-guaranty is based on the lowest PUBLISHED price, how can the ROS be less expensive than an A-guaranty?

 

Aren't they, in fact, one and the same?

 

Thanks,

Denyse

good question denyse. hope someone wiser than I knows the answer.

Hi Henry,

 

I've actually never heard the term "ROS" used as anything other than interchangeably with the term, "A-guaranty", so I'm curious to know what the difference is, if any.

[LaPaloma]

Denyse, as I understand it..ROS gives you an opportunity to get any upgrade...but..could be the lowest category possible. An A-guarantee is just that....you can be upgraded..and can go no lower than a A category. ROS would be slightly cheaper. We get ROS for our daughter with the 110% booking..and we get the A guarantee. We have been fortunate in that she has always had a suite a few doors from ours.

[bldsld]

LaPaloma,

 

I thought an A-guaranty was the lowest possible price? I didn't think there was anything lower than an A-category. Am I mistaken?

denyse,

 

maybe run of the ship means you could end up in crew quarters!!!!! technically they're part of the ship!!!!!

[bldsld]

Henry,

 

I actually called Seabourn today to book another cruise for next year, and asked them. ROS is for singles. That's the mystery!

 

Denyse

[LaPaloma]

I no doubt had it mixed up...My husband does the bookings. I know that Marc suggested this as the best way when we booked on board.

[bldsld]

LaPaloma,

 

It's easy to have mixed it up---it's very confusing!!! Did you know that Marc is now on the Spirit?

 

Denyse

[LaPaloma]

Yes, we were with Marc on the Spirit Mid October...he is so much fun.

[wripro]

denyse,

 

thanx for clearing up the mystery.

 

have you received your documents yet for dec 4? i still have my nose pressed to the window watching for fedex.

 

henry

[bldsld]

Henry,

 

Yes, I received them yesterday! My TA express-mailed it on Monday or Tuesday. Are your docs coming directly from Blue Lagoon, or from a TA?

 

I'm actually starting to get excited, and really looking forward to meeting you.

 

Denyse
