hawt1 Posted November 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Maybe I am overthinking this but, we have a Category 8 cabin right now. We are past final payment and think taht prices may come down a bit for our cruise. But there are no cabin 8's left. IF a better cabin comes available for less than we paid, can we ask for an upgrade and get that cabin plus any refund? I would think so but.... Thanks.

hylasgirl Posted November 16, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I would love to know about this as well. I have never moved cabins after the final payment, but would love to know if you can upgrade (and pay for it) if a better cabin becomes available for a decent price??

Wine-O Posted November 16, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yes, you can always upgrade. Just happened on our Solstice TA. They had a price drop and people upgraded from C2 to C1 and from C1 to AQ. Usually it is a wash, but if there is any price difference in your favor, they will give you OBC. For example, if you paid $1299 for a C2 stateroom and they had a price drop -- C1 came down $1399 to $1199, and your C2 came down from $1299 to $1099. Your options are as follows: Get $400 OBC and remain C2, or upgrade to C1 and get $200 OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted November 16, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Sometimes the lower rate is for new bookings only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geojobes Posted November 17, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Don't know if it's the same on Celebrity, but on a recent RCCL cruise we started in an inside. The price dropped on balconies to $320 total more than our inside, so I upgraded us. Then the balcony price dropped $200 (so now only $120 above the inside.) So we got $200 OBC. Then the price of a Junior Suite dropped to the same price as the balcony 5 days before the cruise & there was only 2 left. We snagged the JS. If Celebrity works the same way, cheap or no cost upgrades can be had, especially after final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennarm Posted November 17, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2009 We just upgraded to concierge recently, got a credit as well, because the concierge was less than we had paid, plus, the fare again went down and we got another onboard credit. I'm still watching the fares, but I think I've about worn out the cow -- we feel like the next one will be a check from celebrity - but seriously, keep your eye on the fares, or availabilityof other cabins. It's definitely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
