powellzk Posted June 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I just upgraded to a W suite guarantee for a little over $100/pp from our D5 that was a balcony guarantee. What does W vs JS guarantee get us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pasodancer Posted June 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Great price for a W suite guarantee from a D5. What a W suite guarantee gives you vs a JS guarantee - the possibility of being upgraded to a higher level suite such as a Grand Suite or higher level. JS guarantee keeps you a Junior Suite level. I hope that your guarantee pays off well for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that your guarantee pays off well for you! Thank you. I thought it was a JS guarantee but when I called RC it was W, and W is on my receipt. Harmony here we come! So I expect a JS but hope for 1 of the 6 GS that were listed yesterday but are no longer availble. The deal didnt last long, I called back at 9:20EST and all they have are JS at a higher price.

Tee & Chilli Posted June 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Best regards. Please report back on the cabin assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shippy Posted June 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2017 You will get a JS they come with NO suite benefits From our experience...you will either get a handicapped cabin or one of those great JS on the 'hump' part of the ship with the double balcony. good luck !

IrishComet Posted June 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I booked 2 W Suite guarantee for £1504stg (approx €3600) for 2 people per room, Got 2 JS, assigned the next day. Room 1650 and 1658, so it worked out well. The price in € for a balcony for 4 was €4500 The JS Price was about £600 extra, but that would have got me the beverage package and $500 OBC Per room, so maybe I should have took more time, instead of jumping so quick. I'm still happy with what I paid. And who knows the Upgrade fairy may come calling.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetwhiz Posted June 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Just know that as soon as your JS is assigned, you can look at our favorite site that shows all open rooms, and move from yours to any open JS. We have moved with W JS rooms from a very forward one to the center on the hump balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am excited as I haven't done a suite before. Is the tub big/ deep enough to soak in? My daughter (22) loves bath bombs so I might need to pack some if it is. Will you please message me your"favorite site"? Sidebar- hope to see you again on Freedom TA. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted June 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Expect a JS., as that is the most likely outcome...you MIGHT get a GS..but a JS is a great way to cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powellzk Posted June 19, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I will be happy with whatever we are assigned. I just wish they would assign it! Patience is not a virtue I have;p. Any time I can get my 2 kids together is wonderful and a suite just makes it extra sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a better located JS can be great for everyone in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your favored locations for JS? I tend to like Deck 8 for balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your favored locations for JS? I tend to like Deck 8 for balconies. We like the deck below the top deck with rooms or lower. Depends on what ship it is. On Liberty we like Deck 8. On Vision that's the deck under the pool and windjammer. What ship and date and I'll look or you probably know how to SCAN the SEA and look.

We are on Harmony.... I had deck 10 forward on the TA which was a nice location. We had a deck 7 corner aft on our Liberty Med cruise- that had been my favorite so far. The availability keeps changing on grand suites and above with GS and CL coming and going. , generally the same JS seem to be available. Deck 7 has the most available. Someone mentioned it could be an accessible cabin. The only accessible one I have seen available is the CL. I'm driving myself crazy with all the looking and checking. It's too hot here in Sacramento (106) to go outside so I'm playing ( researching if my kids ask) on the computer. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtampagirl Posted June 20, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 20, 2017 We booked a W on the Harmony for the end of September. I paid it off a couple of weeks ago and we got a JS hump on deck six starboard side. Looks good to me! We are halfway to Diamond + and have never gotten an upgrade or upsell. I keep hoping....

newtampagirl Posted June 20, 2017 #21 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Ok, I think we will be happy on deck six, but we are above the Champagne bar. I have sailed on the Oasis but have never been in that lounge. Is there live music in there at night that might be a problem for us? The cabin is across from FOCUS and I don't think that will be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I realized that after I looked at the deck plan online instead of the one in the brochure. I think I will still try to get a higher deck since there are quite a few JS left.

powellzk Posted June 20, 2017 Author #24 Share Posted June 20, 2017 and the lucky suite is.................. JS 9636. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? There are still quite a few available. If anyone wants to "scan" and suggest a stateroom we might like better feel free. I don't know all the differences between "hump" and non hump . Thanks to everyone for all your input!

I'd be very happy with that stateroom. We had 9242 on the other side on Oasis last week and were very pleased. The hump staterooms have larger balconies than non-hump staterooms.
