Nezmo Posted April 7, 2011 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2011 http://johnhealdsblog.com/2011/04/07/the-i-want-to-be-italian-blog/ In the questions... Asking for a free upgrade from Deck 1 to a suite no less. That's impressive. I do wish you a great cruise. Don't let this disappointment spoil it. Everything else on the ship will be the same regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missesmamax3 Posted April 7, 2011 #19 Share Posted April 7, 2011 old wives tale. Just like the old story of dressing nice and receiving a comp upgrade to first class on the plane,,,, ain't gonna happen That only happens if you're flying on a buddy pass.. They will give you a seat in first class if you are dressed nicely if those seats are the only ones available :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezmo Posted April 7, 2011 #20 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I used to get first class by smiling at the check in clerk. Those days are well passed. Either my smile has changed or the economy has tanked. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
