39august Posted April 29, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I just received a call from my TA advising we have been upgraded to a Grand Suite on Mariner May 2 cruise! We were originally in a D1 and upgraded for very little more to a Jr. Suite back in April. I wonder if this upgrade to Grand Suite was due to Diamond+ status, or just luck. I am guessing that if it was D+ status the D+ desk would have called us. Anyone know about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your D+ status put you among the most veteran cruisers on that sailing, upgrades were available, and one was given to you due to your status. 3. There was a price drop, and the GS is now available for the rate at which your booked your JS. Your TA saw it and didn't want to have their commission reduced, so made a pre-emptive strike and moved you to the GS, rather than leave you in the JS at a now-reduced price.

Puffinater Posted April 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I would like to think it is because of the D+ status and they are rewarding loyalty. We also use a TA and it has been the D+ desk that has called us the couple times we were upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted April 29, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Puffinater. My TA was called by RCI, so it probably was the upgrade fairy. I agree that I would prefer that it was due to loyalty status. Oh well, we'll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
