Happy Cruiser

Just to add….we had an amazing time on Harmony. Only 2000 guests on our sailing. Suite concierge booked all the shows for us so we could just turn up at whichever one we wanted (of course they gave unused seats to people in line without reservations before the shows started). Coastal kitchen was awesome for breakfast and lunch as there were often long lines for windjammer even with reduced occupancy. Grand suite was a real treat, as was the suite sun deck. Dined in all the speciality restaurants for dinner and some lunches, all great, although 150 PC was our least favourite. Felt really safe with pre testing and daily temp checks. Cannot thank the crew enough for the efforts they made to make everyone’s cruise the best. so yes….royal up bid was absolutely worth it!

Thanks #karmamule. Flying to Barcelona a tomorrow and joining the ship on Sunday. Hope you have a great cruise too and fingers crossed for a last minute upgrade for you guys.

I just thought I’d share my royal up experience. It’s thanks to what I read on this blog that I made a bid at all. We made a booking on Harmony of the Seas about 3 weeks ago. Sailing a 7 nt med cruise from Barcelona. Paid approx £550 per passenger for a guarantee sea view balcony ( as opposed to £900 per passenger to choose a cabin). We haven’t sailed RC for many yrs, but elite plus on celebrity so we’re matched to Diamond on RC. A few days after booking we had the a royal up email offering us Sky class suite upgrades. I didn’t see much Benefit form going for a junior suite as not sky class…again learned from the blog thanks. I bid £500 x 2 on a Grand Suite. The bid went to pending 2 days ago and no longer able to be changed or cancelled. Again on the basis of the blog, I took this as a positive sign and crossed my fingers. Today the cabin on deck 8 which had been allocated under the sea view balcony guarantee changed…to a grand suite on deck 11. We are delighted! I priced a grand suite on this cruise two days ago…£7000 for two passengers! It ended up costing is £2100. Huge thanks for the blog and all the advice. I know this upgrade was only possible because of the reduced occupancy on sailings at the moment, but it is a really awesome way to get back on the water.
