I cancelled the bid until I hear back from my TA. Never sailed a Quantum ship. I do know there are lots of semi obstructed balconies though. Probably not a good risk FWIW, spacious can apply to either the balcony or the cabin on a lot of ships. Sometimes both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had this cabin booked from the beginning, I like the location it is on the ship. I picked it because it's on the AFT back by the glass elevators. I think we'll stick with it. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the location of our room, I chose it for a reason. If I had the extra cash I would move up to a junior suite but I( hate that you don't get the extra points. I like Junior suites though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusinthrough Posted July 11, 2019 #2906 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Is the 2 Bedroom Aqua Theatre Suite a higher stateroom category than Star Loft? I am currently booked in a CLS on the Harmony and just got a Royal Up offer. I was waiting for the offer to bid on the Star Loft. However, the minimum bid is $1300. The minimum bid for a 2 Bedroom ATS is $500. The current selling price for the ATS is more than the Star Loft suite. I want to stay on deck 17 so no interest in the ATS but would have bid on the Loft for a bit over the minimum. I can’t figure out RC pricing methodology.Just as odd is the person who receives the email. This time and with my last offer the 2nd passenger received the email. I am the on who paid and my email is on file for email confirmations, which I have received. The 2nd passenger wasn’t involved at all either time.

Carvette212 Posted July 12, 2019 #2914 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Brilliance Sailing to British West Isles Diamond members received an offer just over a month prior to departure date for Royal Up. JS min bid 400 GS min bid 900 Yesterday another guest on the same sailing, not a C&A member, received the same offer, a week from sailing. My best guess is they release the offers to C&A members then when they don't get max offers they extend the offer to the masses in an attempt to maximize the bid.

I've seen the Star Lofts priced higher than the 2BR ATS most of the time when looking at cruises. 2BR ATS are so far away from the Suite Lounge and it seems a lot of people prefer the convenience of being by Coastal Kitchen and the Suite Lounge a lot more.

Also, both the 8/2/19 and 8/9/19 Ovation cruises no longer show on booking web sites. That could be good (fully booked) or bad (a charter or drydock pending). I will call Crown and Anchor this afternoon. Thanks again. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to figure out if there is any connection between tier and offer acceptance. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
