Rare Saint Greg Posted January 31 #28 Share Posted January 31 (edited) They lowered them from $2,250 to $2,000 for my Jubilee cruise as well. Cabana's 1-12 appear to be available. I'm guessing that's all of them. I'm holding out for $50. Edited January 31 by Saint Greg 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudos2Fly Posted February 1 #29 Share Posted February 1 Unless you have a large group to slit it. I'm not sure the normal family is going to pay for that. I checked it out for hubby and I and the price was quoted at $2,000.... Way to much for us. Only two people. Not worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolSW Posted July 13 #30 Share Posted July 13 On the Jubilee this past week, I saw a sign on Serenity next to the stairs leading up to Loft 19 that listed the daily price for the cabanas at $500 for sea days and $250 for port days. Next time we get $500 obc, I might just take them up on it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I'll be. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notscb Posted July 14 #34 Share Posted July 14 Seems like there's definitely a market for it but Carnival is trying to figure out how to price it. Many cruise lines (Celebrity and MSC to name two) are starting to try this "ship within a ship" idea and have found great success. I'm glad Carnival is trying to offer something more upscale to those who want it beyond the Havana area which doesn't seem that "upscale," or maybe it's just an old idea that needs refreshed too.

On an Elite cruise, I had an invitation to a party in the Havana pool area on the Venezia. It was not impressive. I hope Loft 19 is better/fancier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Venezia TA I had access to the Havana area and while it was nice for the views and some relaxation, it certainly is a big step down from the Havana areas with pools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelkel2 Posted July 22 #41 Share Posted July 22 For me, there’s so many variables. Since I’m cruising most of the time with kids, no I wouldn’t spend the money because I wouldn’t have the time to do enjoy it to get my monies worth. If it were a couples cruise, maybe… but even then, $2k is really out of my budget. I was just on the Jubilee in June and I never saw them sold out or busy.

I'm sure they could have added an above deck four foot pool if they wanted to. BTW, it is not the Havana area on the Venezia and Firenze, it's called the Terrazza area. I wouldn't pay Havana prices for these areas. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a moot point anyways. I am not interested in the area without the pool (unless significantly cheaper than Havana). We will be on the ship beginning of next month for a TA event, No tours scheduled, but I will ensure I get a chance to walk around some. I know you have but want my eyes on the product.

We like the ship and we'll be doing another B2B on her the end of August, but the Terrazza area without the pool is a disappointment. They charge the same as the Havana area on the Vista Class ships, which is a hard no for us as well. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No riff raff and a place to call my own. On my last cruise it was quiet, peaceful and had very few people most of the day. Booked it again in a few weeks just for that. I cannot stomach the summer NY carnival sailings anymore. This changed my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s just too many other things I’d rather spend the money on. We got to tour the Mardi Gras when she first came over as part of a TA event. This was the day before her first sailing. Doing the tour, I was very impressed with Loft 19. The employee that was there to explain how it worked was asked how much it was to go (other than staying in the suites than include it - which we have done 4 times) how much it cost, and she said she did not know. Later before leaving at the end of the day, we swung by guest services and asked the same question, They said that the the pricing had not be set yet. We sailed on the very next sailing and found out the cost then. I was shocked as to how high it was. During further conversations I found out that the sales for Loft 19 were going very strong. I had hopes that the prices would settle down. We are going the TA of the MG next year was decided to late to get an Aft Excel corner suite (my fav room in the fleet) which includes Loft 19. I still do not think I will pay these prices, even for that many sea days. Thanks for the reply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s only 2 sea days I don’t know that it’s really worth it. Now for a TA or something I could see it. I would love to try one of the corner suites one day, that would be amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
