meaclasact2 Posted August 17, 2013 #52 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Is there a way to see how many rooms are still open on our upcoming cruise (I'm curious). My cruise is 6 days away Put in an imaginary booking and the list of rooms will come up. You can also check some of the on line TA's...like travelocity or expedia. Hope this helps!

I tried this but Aug 23 doesn't even show up anymore (too close I assume) so I was curious if there was another way. Dying to know if the cruise will be full or not :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted August 17, 2013 #54 Share Posted August 17, 2013 My wife and I are going on the breakaway on august 25, we got offered a balcony from inside cabin for 350. Not sure if thats a good deal, but I took it. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Forums mobile app I think you made the right call. we are on the cruise before you, and we got a similar offer. We felt it was a great deal (especially since they offered an aft cabin with an oversized balcony). We were thrilled to take that offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubechick Posted August 17, 2013 #55 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This past February we were a GTY ocean view on NCL Sun. Got a call 2 days before we left. Wanted us to switch to an inside. They gave us $900 refund and $100 obc. We accepted in a minute.Diane That's a pretty good "downsell". ;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy's grandparents Posted August 17, 2013 #56 Share Posted August 17, 2013 :)Do you have a better upgrade chance on NCL if you booked directly? How are your chances if you used a T agent?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted August 18, 2013 #57 Share Posted August 18, 2013 :)Do you have a better upgrade chance on NCL if you booked directly?

sandaneli Posted August 18, 2013 #58 Share Posted August 18, 2013 If you book a GTY is it still possible to get an upgrade call or do you have to have selected a room? THis is our first time on Norwegian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted August 18, 2013 #59 Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) If you book a GTY is it still possible to get an upgrade call or do you have to have selected a room? THis is our first time on Norwegian. Everything is possible. However the fairy calls are extremely rare so I wouldn't hold my breath - I used to have hopes before our first few cruises but not anymore. :D Also the most probable passengers getting calls are the ones booked popular cabins like aft balconies etc which are pretty guaranteed to sell if one becomes available, cabins assigned to guarantees are usually the ones that nobody has picked otherwise.

OhioGirl Posted August 18, 2013 #63 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We are sailing on Sept 7th, on the Jewel. I planned a group of friends to go with us..so we are 16 strong....this will be my 13th cruise NCL and have another NCL already booked on the Dawn for April 2014. When we sailed on the Jade the Upgrade Fairy called us 4 days before we left with an offer to move from a balcony cabin to a Penthouse Cabin..we jumped at the chance. If she is reading this post, we would be more than happy to upgrade on the Jewel.. (heck a girl can hope can't she?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonyte Posted January 16, 2014 #68 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If I used a Travel Agent to book will I still have an opportunity to get a call for an upgrade? Yes but the call is made to your TA and it's up to them if they will try and contact you - some big online TAs probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LALAFRANCE Posted March 25, 2016 #70 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yes but the call is made to your TA and it's up to them if they will try and contact you - some big online TAs probably won't. That is not the case, ANYONE travel agent booked or not can call the UPSELL # I just did and after a couple tries paid only 500pp more for 2 room suite w/ butler in Haven. Well worth it, very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea143 Posted March 25, 2016 #71 Share Posted March 25, 2016 That is not the case, ANYONE travel agent booked or not can call the UPSELL # I just did and after a couple tries paid only 500pp more for 2 room suite w/ butler in Haven. Well worth it, very happy Thank you for that information. I've called the upsell desk in the past and been given an upsell for an additional, but much discounted, price. But, when I did call, I had booked direct with NCL. For our upcoming May cruise, I booked through a discount on line agency and was concerned that when I call this time, NCL wouldn't talk to me about the availability and cost to upsell to a better cabin.
