slyster Posted July 25, 2023 #26 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) 7 night cruise on Allure: I booked my junior suite 1 1/2 years ago. It cost $3600 for two of us. I thought that was a good deal. For the last several months, it's been much higher. Grand Suites were over $8000 and Crown Loft Suites were over $9000 (for two people). A week after our final payment, the Crown Loft Suites dropped to $2600 a person...I jumped on it and paid $5200 for two of us. 3 days later, it dropped to $2100 a person for a total of $4200 for two people. My brother jumped on it and got the great deal. Best prices are VERY early, or perhaps within 45 days of a cruise.

Rare silentbob007 Posted July 25, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Best price I ever got was my honeymoon in a GS on Harmony during hurricane season in 2018 for $2800 total for the both of us. My wife is new to cruising (that was her second cruise) and now we chase suites. We booked a balcony on Allure this past April for a great price for peak spring break (going with family first timers) and my wife swore never again. We are booked in a suite GTY for Harmony in January for a little above $4000 for the three of us. Will miss CK but hoping the JS we inevitably get will be sufficient. Currently about $3000 more for a full suite. Edited July 25, 2023 by silentbob007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSprite01 Posted July 25, 2023 #28 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We paid $5223 for 2A/2K ($186.5 pppn) for a GS on Oasis this September, booking right after final payment. Should have booked before though, as it was just over $5k then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently about $3000 more for a full suite. I was wondering about the suite GTY. Are the chances of getting anything above JS almost non-existent? And if you do by some stroke of luck end up in something that is Sky Class, would you automatically get the full suite benefits (SL, CK, etc.)?

CatieM80 Posted July 26, 2023 Author #30 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Update: we decided not to move forward with the Halloween 24 cruise on Harmony. 😭 We have always planned cruises around the time the kids are already off school so they have to miss less, and they typically don’t have time off around then. I was willing to break that rule (and sacrifice another trip) for a suite lol. Alas, my husband wasn’t loving it, and we both have to agree. But I am going to keep searching and use all the great tips and advice I got from everyone here to find something that fits the budget and the calendar! Thank you all!!

luckyinpa Posted July 28, 2023 #32 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) oasis: 2021 got CLS on oasis week L1 double Crown loft Cruise Rate: $6135.60 Gift: $650 obc oct 2022 Total (USD)$ 5862.36 with 500 OBC may 23 booked 8 mo in advance 1br aqua suite May 21st 2023 A3 aqua 1 bedroom double suite Cruise Rate: $8300.32 Gift: $800 On Board Credit + 1 specialty dinner for 2 my TA generally gets me about 10 percent ish or so in OBC. also the CLS are much more expensive these days but if i had to book oasis again id do the CLS over the aqua suite. but the answer to what is a good deal 'today' would be 3K or less for a CLS per person Edited July 28, 2023 by luckyinpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acuprulez Posted July 28, 2023 #33 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Best I've gotten for star class was last fall, 2 GLS and 1 RLS for 14 people total, $40k or 2857/pp, 408/pp/n Haven't seen anything but transatlantic/pacifics or super short sailings come close in pricing since. Similar stuff to what I mentioned above appears to be about double the price nowadays Edited July 28, 2023 by acuprulez clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreland281 Posted July 28, 2023 #34 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) We are booked on the Allure for April 2024 in the Royal Loft We were able to get 4 people and it was $5800 for all 4 of us. Star Class is the way to go if you are going to do a suite at all on royal. The first time I had it, it blew my mind everything they did for you and you received anything you asked for ( with in reason ) Edited July 28, 2023 by moreland281 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 4 night on Allure in April in a GS for $1500 solo which at the time I thought wasn't too great a price. I think it was double that last time I looked.

Ken at the beach Posted July 28, 2023 #41 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Generally the lowest suite prices on an Oasis class ship will be on the ones sailing out of Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
