mnocket Posted February 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2022 For eligible cruises, do the prices on the website account for the upgrade or do you get a Penthouse for the listed price of a Deluxe Veranda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearthosesteeldrumsplayin Posted February 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2022 You get the higher level stateroom for the price of the lower level. For example, if the G1 Deluxe Veranda Suite costs $10,000, you would get 2 levels up (like an F1 Superior Suite) for the $10,000. Usually there are restrictions on how high up (stateroom level) the promotion goes......so make sure the Penthouse Suite you are wanting is included in the program.

Hearthosesteeldrumsplayin Posted February 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Also, I noticed with the new website, you don't see the "in between" levels unless you click on the staterooms. Then you would see that there are 2 levels of Deluxe Veranda....so your upgrade would not go straight from Deluxe Veranda (G1) to Concierge (E), because there are 2 levels of Superior suite in between (F2 and F1)......so you would go from G1 to F1 (in this example I am looking at Splendor, just as a "for instance").

Rare Zqueeze1 Posted February 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yup. That is correct. We recently paid for a G2 and got booked on an F2 cat for an upcoming Splendor cruise. Z and TB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonedaddy Posted February 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The best deals seem to be concierge (E or D) to PH (C or B.) All 4 of my cruises were booked using this promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captjohn Posted February 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2022 We had already booked a cruise and happy with our category so asked for a price reduction and and it was approved, saved about $ 2K. Just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlevin Posted February 4, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2022 With two category upgrades the best deals are G to E on Navigator and E to C on Mariner; on Explorer and Splendor not much monetary different on any of the two category upgrades (that are offered) due to so many sub categories. On Voyager, the Penthouse are not that great an upgrade (especially the Cat C penthouse) so unless you want a butler no real need to book a E to C or D to B. Marc PS Retroactively I saved $3,300 on my E to C on Mariner (after getting lower on board and SSS discounts for concierge versus penthouse) but only $1,000 on my Explorer (G2 to F2).

bl2sms Posted February 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Does this mean that you received the 2-category upgrade retroactively (on an already booked cruise)? Curious since we have a cruise coming up in late June with a booked Concierge suite and was wondering if the offer could be applied. Haven't talked with Regent TA yet, so would be interested in your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted February 4, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) My cruises are in 2023 and 2024. If your category no longer available not possible. If price has changed may not be worthwhile. If you booked directly through Regent and not an independent TA lots of luck.

puppyluv1 Posted February 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Our experience was exactly as mrlevin described. An upgrade from an E to a PHC on an already booked 2023 Splendor cruise would have cost us a couple of thousand dollars due to a price increase. We chose to stay with our E suite. Separately we made a new booking on Mariner for 2023 at the E suite price for a PHC suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
