jking917 Posted June 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I was so excited when I had a message from Carnival wanting to get us in one of their suites. I called and had to listen to all the benefits of a suite and then the price.......for our 3 day cruise we could get a suite for an additional $380 out the door. We declined the the offer since that was just a little too much. My BF says that I should call back tomorrow to see if they can give me a better deal. Has anyone done this?

golfadj Posted June 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2011 No harm in trying but upsell fairy deals have not been that great for past year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone done this?They have most likely already found some sucker to bite at their inflated upsell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted June 29, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Never known the upsell fairy to deliver anything worthwhile. They are just trying to free up lower level cabins and rarely give much of a discount (if any) off what you could currently book the cabin for if you tried.

golfadj Posted June 29, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2011 We have gotten two calls. One was a good deal to move from inside to aft wrap and grabbed it. Other was a very expensive offer to move from balcony to suite and could have done it on my own for less than their offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted June 29, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have made them an offer several times and told them if they were interested to call me back. Have never gotten a call back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecruises Posted June 29, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Some years ago the boards would be abuzz with calls from the "upgrade fairy"...and/or people would come back from a cruise to crow that they "upgrade fairy" had visited them....they were upgraded, decks, to outside...to balcony...from balcony to suite etc then the Cruiselines/Carnival realized they could "upsell" these upgrades some call it the Upgrade fairy....I call it telemarketers LOL:D don't hold your breath in other words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
