Hello-
I’m new to Cunard and leave a week from tomorrow for 25-day SFO-SYD. We booked a balcony stateroom that has yet to be assigned. Our travel agent ticked the box saying we’d take our chances at an upgrade instead of picking the cabin.
A couple of questions we have now:
- Is there any way to know how booked the cruise is? Prices dipped for a while and I heard it was pretty light. On some booking sights I only see the lesser cabins and the very highest level sold out. Would love to know if it’s 60, 70, 80% full. Do they typically oversell what they can and move people who purchased up as airlines do?
- The free upgrades are those usually within the same category but a better position on the ship - forward to midship, for instance, as opposed to balcony to balcony grill or princess grill?
- We’re really debating just buying up to princess grill and weighing if that’s the way to go. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
