gabbyisadog Posted January 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I just wondered what you, loyal HAL, CC cruisers, consider a good deal on an upsell. Inside to Ocean view? Ov to Balcony? Balcony to suite? Suite ti Delux Veranda Suite. Please convert to a per day per cabin cost. Thanks. Just thought it would be interesting to get your thoughts.

Rare iamaqt2 Posted January 13, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm guessing most people here would say free:D But seriously, as a budget cruiser, my personal upsell limit would be an extra $25-35 dollars a day for an upgrade. That would be moving from OV to balcony. Edit... oops.. that would be per person cost, not cabin.. so I guess my daily upsell limit per cabin would be 50-70 dollars.

fann1sh Posted January 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I would never pay to upsell from an inside to an outside. I *like* inside cabins...they're so easy to air condition. :) This past summer, I was skeptical enough about free outside "upgrades" from my perfect inside solo cabin, I labelled my reservation "no upgrades". If I don't have a balcony, I'm always willing to listen to a deal that will give me one. However I don't get excited about it one way or another. But an upsell to a deluxe suite is the *jackpot*. If the offer is less than I would have paid originally for that cabin, it's a sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodogmom Posted January 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2010 On Friday (January 8) I received an up sell offer by email for a 33 day cruise. I had a guar. EE, for Cat CA (Lanai) a double was $500 a person and a solo $750. For a veranda it was $2,800 for both. This cruise leave March 8, for those needing a time frame. I first did the upgrade to the Lanai (CA), then on Monday called back and upgraded to a VA. I was able to pick from the available cabins, I wanted an AFT. This amounted to slightly less than $85 a day. I figured there will be 30 days of good weather (warm) and it will be great having my own veranda. I am a solo, so I had to pay the $2,800. I am thrilled I was offered the upgrade, my first upsell. I will be on a cruise next year through the Panama Canal both ways for 30 days. I booked a Lanai for that, and if offered an upgrade I wouldn't take it. The reason is, I can run from one side to the other. Now I will be talking to others in that category, depending what it looks like and what they say, I could change my mind, and just change my reservation to a window and save money. Then I would hope for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjw869 Posted January 13, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I recently took an offer of an upsell from an SS to a SA for $199 each or $28.42 a day. The day before I accepted that offer, I was quoted $399 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertiger Posted January 13, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I was offered an upgrade from a cat. H (obstr. view outside) to a cat. VA (balcony) on Eurodam for $188 as a solo on a 7 day cruise on 11/28/09. I grabbed it in an instant!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
