MicDay Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 By learning from these great people I just snagged a great deal!!! I already did final payment on our May 2020 Western Med cruise but still was checking prices and saw they had dropped. So I called, all RC could say is no. I got the best RC C & A rep, his name is Kenu. I went from a family interior to a GYT Suite (Some people here are a bad influence and YOLO) Yes, I paid the difference but since I listen to the wonderful people on this blog ( see above) I booked as soon as it opened so it was at a great price to start with. The price difference was $700 per stateroom (I know, it was a crazy good price, to me at least) So now we can try out a suite and see if it's worth they extra cost. Of course my husband is worried, he thinks once I try a suite I will never want to go back to a OV balcony (our typical room) Plus again taking the advice from here, I got two staterooms for us four (why we were in two family interior staterooms instead of a OV balcony) So our daughter and her boyfriend are also in a GYT Suite. I just had to share, I'm super excited. I can't wait to see where we land in terms of suites ( totally fine with a JR suite) Plus we get double C & A points!!

DDemuth Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 …. I'm sorry. What did you say? Just kidding. Know that you will enjoy the suites. Be forewarned, it's easy to get spoiled. MicDay, princevaliantus and rjac 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG1209 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 You will be spoiled with a suite! I know I am. My mom took me on a cruise for my graduation/birthday/mother-daughter trip-- and we got grand suite to celebrate... when we booked our next cruise, we originally booked a balcony room but then sat down with NextCruise and was like- oh heck, why not- we upgraded to a suite again... and now on our 3rd cruise together, you guessed it- we are in a suite (to celebrate my 40th bday). We seem to always find some "excuse" to book a suite. LOL Next year, my mom and I are taking a cruise with my 6 yr old and 10 yr old... and we will have to down grade. The cost of a suite for the 4 of us is just too much... so we will have to down grade to balcony rooms... We couldnt find an "excuse" to book a suite for that trip LOL I MicDay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go during spring break so we do not have to use vacation time from work. I wish though! Hoski and MicDay 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Va4fam Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 That sounds awesome. I've never booked anything but an OV balcony or less, but my next 4 cruises are all GTY suite or JS. Could it be the influence of this blog or the podcast...........? I'm blaming Mr. YOLO/aka Matt. MicDay and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
