shiny1 Posted February 25, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2020 We were offered an upgrade from balcony to signature suite for $349 per person for our 11 day upcoming cruise. Is this a good offer and is it worth the extra money for a signature suite? We haven’t ever upgraded before. Any thoughts or information is appreciated!! Thanks!

All I can do is give you a comparison - we are on a 10 day Panama canal cruise leaving in a couple of weeks. We were offered an upsell from a Signature suite to a Neptune suite for $299/person. We took it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbecker6469 Posted February 25, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Sounds good to me! I'm just guessing, but you might be booked on the Zuiderdam for a partial Panama Canal. The Signature Suites on the Vista Class ships are 50% larger than the verandas and good location. You will spend a good bit of time on your veranda sightseeing. Hope you can still get it as they sell out fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearesiamese Posted February 25, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I got a free upgrade on the Vancouver to Yokohama cruise in October. For me it isn't worth paying for it. Just book the lowest category you would be happy with and wait and see. It was an unexpected and of course welcome upgrade(from one category to another ) not just a change of location) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiny1 Posted February 25, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted February 25, 2020 We’re sailing 3/18/20 so soon!! Are there other perks for Signature Suite passengers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted February 25, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Really what you get is about 50% more space and the bathroom has two sinks and a full shower/tub plus another shower. The verandah is larger too. No other perks since an upgrade doesn't get double Mariner points. Same room service menu as a veranda. I love Signature Suites!!!! If you want it, don't wait to respond! ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upsells (which are at a reduced price) which is what this really is (or appears to be) do not get the double days for a suite unless the booking was originally in a cabin with the name suite attached to it. IF someone pays the regular price to upgrade to a suite, then yes, they would get the double day credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare GeorgeCharlie Posted February 25, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 25, 2020 On our 24-day European cruise last summer we took a $199/pp upgrade from VE to SS. We were able to chose a cabin (i.e. not a guarantee) and we received double days. 😎We both agreed the upgrade was well worth the extra money we paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 11 days, yes, I think that’s a good deal. I would do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare GeorgeCharlie Posted February 25, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yes it was - especially considering we were able to keep the cabin level bonuses of pre-paid gratuities and $600 OBC, plus a $25 beverage card each !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybear Posted February 25, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It depends, sometimes yes and sometimes no. If the suite has been advertised in the past at the equivalent to the paid upgrade then you will get the double mariner days. If not, you will not. We have experienced both as well as our son travelling with us in a vista suite on a free upgrade received them while we did not in the same cabin. Clear as mud, right?
