WILECOY Posted February 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Booked our trip back in October with our TA. Got our room number right away (inside for 4 people). We sail next week on the island. 1st princess for us. My question is if there is any chance to be upgraded? Checked the website today and shows the same room. I am fine with the room, just wondered if anyone has any insight. Checked with the TA to see if we are marked as a no upgrade the he never heard of this. Anyone ever been upgraded at the pier? I have but with different lines. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILECOY Posted February 29, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted February 29, 2012 yes, my TA is a family friend, he is just not really swift. I am trying to get him to call princess to check that our resevation is marked as upgradable. crossing fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted February 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Most reservations are marked as wanting an upgrade. There is always a chance of an upgrade, even as late as at checkin. However, no many occur this close to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILECOY Posted February 29, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well, I called princess myself and found that I was marked as do not upgrade. I changed this over the phone to upgradable. Will have to see if anything happens (although unlikely this close to sailing). Looks like it can be marked either way. Good to know for next time.

Next time find a real travel agent and not a family friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really surprised that Princess would talk with you directly as you booked through a TA. I agree, I think you'd be better served with another TA. There's nothing wrong with a TA who's a personal friend, my TA is a personal friend, she used to be my boss before she retired. But she's a "professional" travel agent.

compozer Posted March 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm really surprised that Princess would talk with you directly as you booked through a TA. . Me too. They won't tell me anything since they know I went thru a TA and I've tried a number of times. Are you sure your friend IS a TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will often talk to you if you are worried about the competance of your TA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted March 1, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2012 There are more double cabins than 3 or 4 persons cabins so it is easier to upgrade a double than a 4 person cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryl12 Posted March 1, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Please get a real travel agent as a gift to yourself. Family friends are great as friends but not as lawyers, accountants, or travel agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
