Was just called and offered 2 jr suites and 500 obc for my OS

[Cruzin64647]

Anyone know why they would want to split a party of 4 into two rooms for just for one Owners suite?

To resell your OS or "accommodate" someone in that OS.

 

Biker, who would have countered with a refund for the price diff and the OBC.

Man, I’d ask for a lot more as you lose almost all suite perks by downgrading.

Agree - you will have no suite perks at all except for double C&A points.

[torpeedo]

I hope you didn't do it. I would never do that unless they gave me 2 grand suites. You will not receive any of the suite perks and that's a big deal.

They may be attempting to work out a problem with a guest.

Too bad for them.

[Cruzin64647]

I told them no thanks but was just curious if any one else had experienced this

Careful here.

What's your status with Royal?

 

If the other person who wants your OS has more political pull, you could be out all together.

 

I hope not, but I could see it.

Not sure if two JS would have any price difference from one OS but I would probably have asked for suite perks as well. That would be a nice deal.

Well that wouldn’t be cool lol

[pinkrosesdeb]

I agree with considering the trade if they included all suite benefits and they are connecting cabins

Based on what experience?

Liberty of the seas may 27th

I would probably do the same but never for what was offered.

Personal? None

 

After being on these boards for 20 years, I have read reports from people seeking help.

They logged in to their account only to find the reservation had been cancelled. They call the cruise line, sorry, nothing we can do. Our records show that on XXX date you called and cancelled. Your cabin has already been sold.

 

Thinking back on it, none of these instances involved inside cabins. Always big suites.

What are the suite perks on Liberty? I know the are a big deal on Oasis class ships. I’ve considered booking suites on some of the older ships but have always gone with the two rooms instead. Thought the only thing was a lounge on these older ships.

Don't forget the priority departure. That is highly coveted.

 

Also, you have a concierge who can basically act as your guest services. You never have to go down and wait on line, just ask the concierge to help you. That's a huge perk, imo.

Don't see what that has to do with the whole political pull thing. Then again, suites are the hardest to come by so those would be the hardest to rebook. Hundreds of thousands of bookings a years, things are bound to go wrong sometimes. And suites guests, in my experience, are pros at the whole squeaky wheel game so that may explain only big suites in your memory.

[voyager70]

Would definitely demand full suite benefits to agree to this.

[LMaxwell]

50% refund back to form of payment

Suite benefits

500 obc per COUPLE not total

 

Royal made a first offer so they already have the lower hand

Thanks Bob! Personally I think I’d take the $500 and two juniors. Unless the pricing discrepancy was bigger when I booked. I know on these older ships a grand is typically equal to two balconies so assuming the os to jr is similar. I just don’t get the hype about the perks. Doesn’t seem all that great to me on the older ships.

A plus would be some privacy and 2 bathrooms!
