Upgrade to Concierge?

[georgiaguy]

Just a few weeks from our sail away and so I checked in with my cruise agency about upgrades. They told me we could get an upgrade to Concierge Class from a 2C (partially obstructed veranda) for $220/pp. Is this a good deal?

Unless you need the points or really prefer the stateroom IMHO CC is not worth paying more.

Do you get additional perks? If not. . no.

Agree, unless you get more perks as stated like a beverage package or tips paid I would not. Most of the perks of Concierge are fluff or available to everyone on board.

Agree. CC adds little, apart from the extra cost.

5 points per night cruised, I did it once to get to elite

larger sq ft cabin on Millennium class only

bottle of Shampagne in cabin Celebrity brand, ok for mimosas

fresh fruit usually an apple pear and orange per day

afternoon canapes - ask steward to swap to cheeses crackers and grapes. Then it is a neat snack

embarkation lunch

debarkation lounge with coffee and pastries.

CC cabins also get to have lunch in the MDR on embarkation day. May be worth it to some people to avoid the crowded buffet.

Ok. That is what I was thinking as well. Thanks everyone!

Also, you do receive priority check in, if that is important to you

IMHO, no it is not worth it. We had the opportunity to upgrade for $150/pp and turned it down. We did sail concierge previously because we got all 4 perks with our booking and it was a much better deal, but it doesn't seem to be anymore.

Looks like we will be on the same sailing. We just upgraded to Concierge Class as well.

About a month ago my wife upgraded us to Concierge from balcony because she got us all 4 perks and it wound up to be 75 dollars less. I guess its all about timing.

Priority check in is only a separate line, often regular lines are shorter.

Keep in mind it is a very limited menu. The only two entrees on my cruise were lamb and fish. They were showing the menu to everyone as they entered, because many would sit down, get the menu and leave due to the menu items. I will say the chocolate cake was wonderful.

Concierge cabins are worth very little extra to me--certainly not that much. We paid $50pp extra but got more OBC the last time. The perks really aren't all that great; most of them we didn't even use.

 

I did like the footstool on the balcony!

[dutchclogs]

You do get the footstool which is nice if you use the balcony a lot. Also, in my--admittedly limited-- experience the bedding is superior.

Nobody has mentioned the upgraded Room Service Breakfast Menu you get with CC......... We had room service every morning with breakfast on the balcony. The difference in the menu for the CC was well worth it.
