iowagirl411 Posted September 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2010 But my upsell fairy is off duty & I must wait until tomorrow. I'm sure it will be too much, but I will ask out of curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuizer2 Posted September 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Better make sure the owners are not using it that week before you agree to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2010 $1500 a day Iv heard. Yes, for sure tell us what the offer was. Maybe they will be more reasonable. Lets find out what they are asking and post it just so CC has a running tally of information that people can draw on when they are in the same situation as you are.

iowagirl411 Posted September 1, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I've already got a fine suite, and since I'm in the "My Roomy Cancelled on Me Club" and I may have to go Solo - I hardly need more space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhale Posted September 1, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 1, 2010 it was $1600 total to upgrade from our GS on the Ecstasy back in November for 4 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petro772 Posted September 1, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2010 We've seen the Owner's suites on the Ecstasy. They're big, lots of room and fancy stuff. But not worth it, if no other reason than the misplaced balcony and noise from the Lido deck. The GS is what we cruise with and I wouldn't take the owner's suite for zero dollars upgrade. Pass on it unless you just want to brag. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 1, 2010 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2010 it was $1600 total to upgrade from our GS on the Ecstasy back in November for 4 nights. That was when the upsell dept was pretty new and the deals were much better. The so called deals lately just havent been worth writing home about. We will see tomorrow? OP come back and tell us what song and dance they give you and price. But Im still curious what kind of deal they try and convince the OP with price wise.

If it's even more now, chances are it won't ever happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujobie Posted September 1, 2010 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2010 it was $1600 total to upgrade from our GS on the Ecstasy back in November for 4 nights. $1600 more than what you already paid for a 4 night cruise? I would've laughed as I hung up on them! You could almost get a suite on another 7 night cruise for that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could almost get a suite on another 7 night cruise for that price! Yeah, it was a bit crazy, but you only turn 30 once, and we had gotten a great deal on the GS for booking early. Like I said, probably wouldn't do it again... unless I won the lotto ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrysiak Posted September 1, 2010 #13 Share Posted September 1, 2010 We are sailing on the Sensation this weekend and I got the Upsell phone call for the owners suite on Monday. She said she could give me her employee discount and it would only cost me $1400 more than what I already paid for our cat 12 ES suite. Politely declined and thanked her for the offer as I was trying not to laugh in her ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconIsGood Posted September 1, 2010 #14 Share Posted September 1, 2010 We received an "upgrade email" yesterday. It was $40 total for a better location in the same type of room. We moved from deck 6 to deck 10 on the Freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavis2222 Posted September 1, 2010 #15 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I got upgraded from a outside cabin to a Cat 12 suite on the Paradise several yrs ago when it was a "non smoking " ship. That was a 7 day cruise. Upgrade was free and I see that never happening again. It hapened about a month before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted September 1, 2010 #16 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Upgrade was free and I see that never happening again. It hapened about a month before the cruise. Precisely... as long as Carnival can upsell the cabins and receive $$$, they have no incentive to give them away for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edillen1 Posted September 1, 2010 #17 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yeah I know. First cruise we took was with 3 other couples. We all booked balcony rooms and got upgraded to suites. Had them all together. Awesome having a 40 foot balcony on the boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRY229 Posted September 1, 2010 #19 Share Posted September 1, 2010 We received an "upgrade email" yesterday. It was $40 total for a better location in the same type of room. We moved from deck 6 to deck 10 on the Freedom We received the same email yesterday. We are sailing on the Legend 10/17. We were able to go from a 7A obstructed view balcony to a 8K extended balcony for $40. We jumped on that offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowagirl411 Posted September 1, 2010 Author #20 Share Posted September 1, 2010 By the time she (the upsell fairy) called me back someone must have taken the Owner's Suite so I'll never know what the offer was. But - She did offer a Grand Suite for $200 so I took it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(new cruiser here) Is that $40 total for the entire length of the cruise or a per person per day extra charge? Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpal2208 Posted September 1, 2010 #22 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I just got the call from the upsell Fairy. Upgraded from an Aft Cabin on the Legend to an OS Suite for $640.00 for 3 people. We took it! Giving up my aft for VIP boarding, larger cabin in a Huricane rich month. I think I did ok. We had an OS on the Inspiration and loved it last year. I'm sure we will be just as happy this time around. Bon Voyage djp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
