Why is Carnival calling me to upgrade a booking I don't even have???

[karatemom2]

Received a really strange phone message from Carnival today regarding our "booking" on the Conquest in May. They wanted to offer a great price to upgrade to the Penhouse Suite. Only we do not have any booking on Carnival at the moment. We just returned from a cruise on the Spirit but made no future booking. I returned the call and the representative who left the message was not there but the call definitely came from Carnival. I'm not sure if this is just a sales tactic or they really think we have a booking. Very confusing!! :confused: Has anyone else ever received a call like this from Carnival?

nope, but i'd call just to make sure someone else hasn't booked lol.. or...do you think the spouse could have booked you a cruise and plan to surprise you?:)

oh man, that last part would be awesome huh... I would love my husband forever if he did something like that for me (oh wait, I already do...drat!) ... here's to hoping OP!!!!

No such luck! Just got off the phone with Carnival and the call was an error. My number came up on his dial list, perhaps since we just got back from a Carnival cruise. He did double check and we have no ghost booking out there which is good as we have work and school commitments the week in question.

 

Just my luck though! Finally offered an upgrade on a cruise we haven't even booked!! :p

i would have tried to milk a "free cruise" by just paying for an upgrade, and let them figure it out.\

 

who knows how far you would have gotten. seems there's an intellectual desert working there these days.
