When do you get offered an upgrade in cabin?

[Fireflymkz76]

Or is it only offered to certain people? Our cruise is June 18 and I was hoping to be offered one at a great rate

I don't know the answer to your question,but I was curious as to what ship on June 18 we are on the triumph leaving from Galveston that day :)

We are 31 days out and I got a call today offering me an "upgrade" to a deluxe suite for the low low price of $1090.00. I declined. A gentleman on my roll call got the same call, but they only asked him for $880.00. He declined as well. Maybe you will have better luck!

Don't hold your breath. We've been on 30 Carnival cruises and have 5 more booked and have never had an upgrade or even an upsell call.

I never get a call either. I always investigate myself and snag upgrades if the price drops. I went from a 1a to a 4d on the elation for the same rate of 239.00 a person. Granted it is still an inside but is midship, 1 floor down from the atrium. Just keep your eye out.

I don't know why they call some and not others. I've booked two CCL cruises and after booking my 1st one (in 2010), I got an upsell call. And just 2 days ago I got an upsell call on my upcoming cruise. I was so excited when they called, but I was not interested in the offers (didn't like the cabin locations), and decided to stick with what I already had. I told the rep. if they could offer the upgrade at no extra charge, I'd be glad to consider it, and we laughed...:) He said they had some cancellations and were calling some past guests with the offer. I thanked him and told him to pls. keep me on any future upsell call lists...

We got a call just a few days before our cruise a few years ago. We upgraded to a suite for $900 more. It was more than I planned on spending, but with the kids it was nice having the extra space in the room. If your lucky enough to get a call and dont mind paying a little extra, its well worth it!

They probably start calling people and offering it at a higher price, then drop it as they go down the list. That way they try to get as much as they can for the room.

Last time we were upgraded was @ the pier 2 months ago on the Triumph

I just upgraded on the Triumph - Balcony on Upper all the way up to Panorama Deck for $30. It was crazy! Came via email. Sailing 5/21/12

My sister and I are on the Triumph May 7th and I originally booked an inner room pack and go special (cheapest room they had) Category 4A. A while later the price dropped and they had Balcony for only $75 more per person so I paid the $150 and got a Balcony on 10th floor, Category 8A. Then the price of the aft facing balcony (which are twice as big as regular balcony) dropped to the same price I paid so I changed to 7th floor Category 8M. This will be my 9th cruise with Carnival (my 3rd on the Triumph) but I've never received an upgrade/upsale call. I leaned on this cruise to help myself to those upgrades by watching the prices! :D

Usually the last 4 weeks before the cruise. They start shuffling around cabins and it can happen right up to the day you embark. Good luck and have a great cruise.

When I go to bed at night, I think about a suite upgrade :). Why can't the upsell fairy call me with a good price? I have balcony, but the suites should look tempting. Hey upsell fairy, I am a past guest. Do you hear me :rolleyes:?

[Fireflymkz76]
