Chadster Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 So, I keep watching the wild room-availability game going on with my June cruise to New England and Canada on Adventure; there are inexpensive junior suites to be had! My question is, as a solo traveler, is a junior suite really "worth it"? I'm not talking economically at this point with the way prices have been stood on their head. Would I really notice the extra space when as a solo traveler, everything is more spacious? I'm currently situated in an aft-facing balcony. I know you don't get the suite perks, and I've seen a JS basically called a "spacious spacious ocean balcony" room. Given that, would you rather...?

HeWhoWaits Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Unless the JS available to you is also aft-facing, the answer is easy, IMO. Keep what you've got. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadster Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Among the available JSs are aft-facing ones. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadster Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Per my TA, Royal's not offering the available JSs as a complimentary upgrade on my sailing. Ah, well -- I tried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm not going to worry about it. I'm happy enough with the fact I was able to move to a corner aft-facing cabin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadster Posted March 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 I might try again in a couple of days, depending on availability and prices at that point. The last week or so has left me with a bit of cruise-planning-and-pricing fatigue, and I know my travel agent has plenty on her plate!

Chadster Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Now that I've done the JS upgrade via the paid route, I realized I have a question that I know I could ask my TA, but I hate to bombard her with little things. When I first booked my cruise, I opted for pre-paid gratuities. Since I did a paid upgrade to a junior suite, will my gratuities be adjusted upwards automatically, since I'm assuming junior suites pay the higher gratuity rate? I haven't gotten my updated invoice yet, so I was just curious, because I've got too much time on my hands and can't sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only pay higher gratuities on GS and above. ...and the panoramic suites Chadster and Ogilthorpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
