schevel Posted March 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Our niece had to cancel and we had to move our 17 year old DD into our 7B balcony cabin. I have been looking at upgrading to a Jr Suite for the bigger bathroom and all, but with the current sale it is $2,100 more. We booked early and got our balcony for $4,300 for the 3 of us. I can't really justify $2,100 for the small amount of perks. I understand there is no crystal ball, but we sale on Harmony 6/2/18 and was wondering if there is usually a sale for Easter/Memorial Day? Anybody have much luck upgrading with in 90 days to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Unlikely to see a significant price drop, you are at the beginning of the high season for cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbjen Posted March 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I would say that right around final payment is the best chance and you’re at that point now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schevel Posted March 4, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I am already past the pay in full date. Do they offer last minute deals if all of the Jr. Suites aren't booked, like 3 days before we sail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the option to move existing bookings up to the suites so they can sell less expensive staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schevel Posted March 11, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Just a follow up for my post. Our balcony actually went down $300 after final payment. Called T/A today and was able to upgrade our 7D balcony to a 1C oversized balcony for $140. We also received an additional $75 OBC to help offset the cost. My T/A tried to bargain us a deal on a Jr or a Grand suite, but no luck today. At the least we will have more balcony room for the 3 of us.

fredflint Posted March 11, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2018 you may want to see how much an inside cabin is going for then you would have 2 bathrooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 12, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The bathroom is only slightly larger, because of the tub. Yes, it's much nicer (IMO) than a standard cabin bath, but it's certainly not big. There are NO suite perks for a JS that amount to anything. Sure, you get "priority" boarding on boarding day, and double cruise points. That's it. If you want the extra space, it's a lovely way to cruise. Personally, I wouldn't want more than 2 in that cabin....but I'm not into sharing my space!! If you want "suite perks" you'll need to move to a GS or better.

schevel Posted March 12, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thanks for the reply, and I agree about the Grand Suite. Thats what my T/A was trying to negotiate for us. I told her we would pay the $2,400 more for a Grand Suite, but not a Junior Suite. She said offers had been accepted before, put me on hold and called RCI, and made our offer. It was worth a try, we still have 83 more days to see if we can pull off a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schevel Posted April 12, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just an update to this thread. Last night I seen there were W Guarantee suites now available for our cruise. I called my T/A and was informed this would cost $390. I rolled the dice and took it. We just received our room assignment to a JS on the hump, deck 6. It may not be the deal of the century, but it gives us the much needed extra room for the 3 of us. If anyone has any input on this cabin or deck 6 location, much appreciated. I am not familiar with this location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordnlkon Posted April 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Yeah $390 for a Junior Suite sounds like a good deal to me. That's less than $20 pp per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted April 12, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Great! Hump is good. Lot of times this late in game the new lower prices are for new bookings only. Glad worked out for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
