Discover the suite life

[Harry Peterson]

This has been my experience also.

On cruises where suites aren’t selling, they don’t put them to Saver anymore, they offer paid/unpaid upgrades to specific passengers - this means if you want a suite you have to pay for a select price suite, no point hanging on for reductions.

Those who have paid for a suite aren’t usually aware that their neighbours may have paid the cost of a lower grade (and possibly a relatively small upgrade fee), if there were spare suites at the booking cut-off.

Suites seem to be more popular these days and the cruises I’ve been in recently seemed to sell out early.

Up to a point I agree with you, though they do still sometimes go to Saver. And the Select price changes, sometimes daily. It's still quite possible to pick up a bargain Select price some time after a cruise first goes on sale, but several months (sometimes a lot longer) before the cruise date. I know - I have.

 

During my exploration of the P&O prices I also found this oddity - which I cannot explain!

 

Select Price£5,388.00

Early Saver£6,078.00

Upgrade to Select Price for added benefits

Our Early Saverrepresents great value but has fewer associated benefits than the Select Priceand is not combinable with any current offers. Before you go any further,here's a chance to compare fares and benefits and see what is best for you.

A quick comparison:

This often happens when the ship is full or nearly full in certain grades.
