I cleared my cookies as recommended in the posts above and now the 4 day sailing is showing again...but only for 4/28/25 so hopefully my 4/24/25 sailing will eventually come back. Pricing thankfully seems to be the same with no crazy increases.

My sailing has disappeared from the website yet it's thankfully still showing up in my planner. I have a 4 day Radiance sailing booked for 4/24/25 but only 6 & 8 day sailings show up when I choose April 2025 from Los Angeles in the search box. I hope it's just a site glitch and they didn't cancel my sailing.

For my situation, i'm not paid in full so Carnival must really want to resell my cabin. It will be interesting to see if I get any more offers from them to move and if they'll be sweeter than the first one. Why they think anyone would actually PAY $42 to move from a long balcony over to a regular sized one is pretty hysterical.

Ok those scenarios make a lot more sense than just someone calling Carnival and saying "I want that cabin someone has booked. Get it for me!" 😄 I always thought upsell/upgrade meant to a "better" cabin, which is why I naively thought there would be an offer for a suite or something before I opened the e mail and I got all excited. Now I know that's far from the reality and even moving one measly deck up is considered an upgrade to them.

I had no idea they actually did that. Wow. So if someone calls Carnival and says they really want so and so cabin that's already booked by someone else, they will try and entice the booked passenger to move with the "upgrade" so they can sell that cabin to them? I don't mind that they do it, but if they're going to ask me to move from my long balcony, they could at least make the offer more enticing than to move down to a regular balcony that's only one deck up...and ask me to pay for it lol. If the offer was to move to an aft balcony I probably would've jumped on it.

Now I wonder if they're trying to bump me from it because someone else wants it if they're highly sought after. This will be my first time in one of these cabins and I can't wait to try it. I spend a lot of time out on the balcony so the extra space will be really nice.

Thanks! I actually laughed when I saw what they were offering. Nope is right!

I checked my planner after reading this to see if an additional offer may be there as you had, but it was the same midship 8301 cabin offer so I made sure to click "No thanks, i'll keep my own room" to ensure I didn't accidentally lose my 7439 long balcony from any gremlin glitches. After that the offer disappeared. Has anyone ever received a second offer after declining the first? I'm happy with what I have, but just curious if I should expect to see any more. I'd only accept it if it were a Jr. Suite, or even an aft balcony which i've always wanted to try.

I think Deck 7 is perfect for me since it's 2 floors between Lido and Casino which are my 2 favorite places. I stay away from midship not for the noise (a party could be going outside my door at 3am and i'd never hear it). It's the heavy foot traffic that I like to keep away from as on my last sailing i'd have to poke my head out the door before exiting or else collide with someone passing outside. Aft location is much less traffic.

I got an upgrade e mail back in 2019 so I don't think it's new. However, I now wonder if Carnival sends me the offers via e mail due to my hearing disability since they have that on record and know they can't call me. That's pretty neat if they do. Has anyone else received their offers via e mail or is it always usually by phone? When I saw the subject of the e mail saying "You qualify for a stateroom upgrade.", I thought it would be at least a Junior Suite lol. I'm an eternal optimist....maybe the next one will have that! 🙂

Carnival sent me an upgrade e mail today for my December Liberty cruise, but I don't see how they view it as an upgrade. I currently have cabin 7439 booked which has a nice long balcony and they're offering to "upgrade" me to cabin 8301 which is a midship regular balcony for $42!! I had to laugh when I saw the deck plan and location because the cabin is pretty much exactly where I hate because it has so much foot traffic in the hallways. And no long balcony either. Does anyone actually view this as an upgrade? Needless to say, I didn't accept it! I'm keeping my long balcony! 🙂

I've never been to Amsterdam but after seeing these wonderful pics I now want to visit. Thanks for sharing your trip. I'm really enjoying it!! 🙂

I'm glad to see that you have to look at the instructions at times because I sometimes feel i'm the only clueless one in the casino with these new slots lol. I look around at others playing them and I helplessly wonder "How the heck do they know what they're doing?!". It gives me hope that I can eventually learn and get more comfortable with them over time.

I couldn't agree more! The old reel slots are becoming more scarce with each cruise and I dread the day they're gone forever because I won't be in the casino much either anymore after that. I just can't understand how to play those giant computerized slots with the big cartoons and videos playing and I never know what the heck i'm supposed to be going for when spinning. I guess i'm just getting old..."Back in my day the slots were only 3 reels. That's the way it was and we liked it!" lol

"Social Media Influencer" lol. I wonder who comes up with these wacky titles. I never heard of the guy until I started getting the e mails but they're always for Australia and that's just a bit too far away for me. I couldn't stand being on a plane for that long...even for a free cruise.
