King Amo Posted April 30 #26 Share Posted April 30 But a cruise line that sails with empty cabins ends up being either very expensive for passengers or a less viable operation (and would need to make cuts elsewhere). People will book as early/late as they need to in order to get the dates/itinerary/cabin they want. Leaving it later is a gamble that would need to be weighed up by the individual. For the line's point of view though, I can't see any likely business case that concludes that it is better to earn no money on a cabin than some. Let's be honest it won't need to price at a loss in order to attract those willing to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I and many others would not book in advance and pay full price if they were going to sell off cheap upgrades further down the line - why waste money on a cruise line that does that 😀 and that's what I took the meaning to be and it's a grand idea as long as the bean counters are happy, but it's not how it could have come across so thanks for clarifying. Interestingly, it's not a common issue on Cunard for us as the top suites [on the Vistas] generally sell pretty quickly in our experience or maybe we just choose to sail popular itineraries. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattAlexisStAndrews Posted April 30 #28 Share Posted April 30 We booked last year direct on the QE, transferred to a TA and was emailed the upgrade offers for our July cruise. PG to a Q3 Penthouse! Couldn't say no to that. They may have called but I dont answer the phone if I don't know the number. Email worked though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tduenas Posted April 30 #31 Share Posted April 30 Ahhh. Yes, i have an offer to bid from PG. I wished they would just give me a price. For 10 day (Q420) bids are 450+pp for Q5,Q6, $605+pp for Q3,Q4, $2610+pp for Q2 and $3215+ for Q1. Not sure it's worth the bump to Queens grill....
