We probably won't hear for over a month so I have a lot of waiting still, but whatever it is I always feel like royalty when I get on the ship! m-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesGal Posted February 16, 2012 #109 Share Posted February 16, 2012 That's just it. HAL does already know if you'd accept an upgrade, and there's no need for them to contact you. Giving people the idea that HAL is going to be calling them to offer a free upgrade sounds misleading to me. My experience with HAL offering upgrades has been that they have always called to see if I want to accept the upgrade they are offering, based on location, deck, etc. And, yes, I always check that upgrades are acceptable.

jtl513 Posted February 16, 2012 #110 Share Posted February 16, 2012 My experience with HAL offering upgrades has been that they have always called to see if I want to accept the upgrade they are offering, ... In 8 guarantees they have never called us to "offer" a free upgrade, they have simply done it, every time. The one time we got a call it was for an upsell.

GeorgesGal Posted February 16, 2012 #111 Share Posted February 16, 2012 That's strange..... and I am talking about upGRADE not upSELL. Perhaps they have changed their policy since we received the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lors Posted February 16, 2012 #112 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks all....I will take that then as an awsome upgrade and estatic...thanks for all the comments...I feel so much better now...maybe the captain will join ME???? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they have changed their policy since we received the upgrade. Our 8 upgrades go back to 2002. Perhaps yours was because you had chosen a specific cabin, not a guarantee. I know of one case where that happened. Also, we were once moved to another cabin from the one we had chosen without asking our approval, but that was a horizontal move, not an upgrade.

phinn Posted February 16, 2012 #115 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Didn't have room assignment this am with 3 days remaining. This afternoon sis got an email asking if we wanted to upgrade from Guarantee SZ for $199pp. We took it and got our room assignment immediately. We are in an SA and can't wait for Sunday! Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawyerrose Posted February 18, 2012 Author #122 Share Posted February 18, 2012 OK, I just got a message from HAL that my BB guarantee got assigned as BQ120. I'm not sure what a BQ room is??? Is that higher than a BB? Plus, this room is a connecting room to the one next door, which I think is odd and bothers me a little since I know sound travels easily in those connecting rooms. If I don't like this room, is there anything I can do?? Should I do anything?? Oh, P.S., I'm also wondering if they allow smoking on their verandas b/c I enjoy the occasional cigar?

If I don't like this room, is there anything I can do?? Should I do anything?? Yes in HAL's eyes the BQ is higher than a BB. Same kind of cabin except it is near the forward elevators/stairs making it close to the spa. It technically is a Spa cabin. I have been in a couple of cabins that had the connecting doors and never once have we heard any noise from the other side. The only thing that it does is take up wall space and in a few cabins gave a bit less closet space. Now what you can do is ask HAL to place you back in the guarantee pool, if booked with a TA this request has to be done in writing either email or a faxed letter for this request. Although be aware that you could end up with a cabin right next door to what you had. You also cannot do it a 2nd time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't change it except that they couldn't tell me whether I could enjoy my cigar on a BQ balcony. I booked it directly thru HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
