cabin upgrades and missing luggage

[drmel]

Hi all,

We're Elite and often get a cabin upgrade (which we love). However it is often done at the last minute at check in so our luggage has already been tagged for the original cabin. Despite promises from the staff and the cabin attendant that they would get out luggage, we usually have to go looking for it and don't get it till late at night or the next day!! I don't want them to NOT give us a better cabin, but the luggage thing is annoying.

Lucky you for the upgrades - when you surrender your luggage to the people at the dock - get them to check your cabin number - they will have a record if it has been changed.

isn,t it possible to retag your cases at portside by the cruise staff

thats the easy way out and then they will get their luggage

One certain way to avoid upgrade and luggage issues is to pick the cabin you want and mark it "Do not upgrade." Problem fixed. Easy.
