Matcodixon Posted May 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I am in shock and disbelief. I just check the Cruise personalizer and we have been upgraded again! This time to a Mini-Suite! My booking started out with a bottom of the list BG GTY Balcony. 2 upgrades, 2 price drops later, We now have a Dolphin deck Mini-suite. Best part is that since our original booking, our price has been reduced by over $1300! Life was good, Now it's even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandBistro Posted May 10, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 10, 2012 My friend sailed today on the Princess Coral. She booked an interior and got upgraded to ocean view and then again to balcony. She's pretty happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekitty7 Posted May 10, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Upgrade fairy visited today for us too!! Went from an inside cabin to an Oceanview cabin! Definitely will take the free upgrade. Now just hoping they allow platinums and elite to board before assigned staggered boarding time. We got moved from 12:30 to 1:30 and our flight arrives at 9:30 in the morning.

sept10dsm Posted May 10, 2012 #14 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just wondering when the upgrades happened before or after final pmt? It is wonderful that you have received an upgrade! I guess no email just checking the reservation! Nice surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcodixon Posted May 10, 2012 Author #15 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just wondering when the upgrades happened before or after final pmt? It is wonderful that you have received an upgrade! I guess no email just checking the reservation! Nice surprise! All this upgrade activity for us has occurred before the final payment is due 3 weeks from now. If they do not give us any more, I will still be more than satisfied, however I guess that they could still upgrade us again to a full suite, but somehow, I kind of doubt that is a possibility.. :rolleyes: That would be the upgrade of the century to go from a BG GTY Balcony to a full suite :D I did not get an email for this upgrade to the Mini-suite but discovered it looking at our booking information on the Cruise personalizer. I was in disbelief so I cleaned my glasses, closed and opened the program 3 times and printed it out, just to make sure.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Princess would do Bermuda! We did visit Bermuda on the Caribbean Princess last May on a return to NY (also wish they would stay for more than occasional TA and Canada?NE) Anyway sorry to side track. Have a wonderful cruise!!

Have you ever sailed in a full suite? You will love the Balcony! Congratulations and have a great cruise! We have never have had a full suite and this is the first time we have had a mini-suite..The best we have had before is a standard balcony cabin. (which, by the way, were excellent!) I am afraid we might be spoiled by this! After having inside then booking ocean-view = No more inside After ocean-view then booking Balcony = no more ocean-view After mini-suite = ???:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmacruiser Posted May 10, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Congrats! :) I love booking guarantees! We always look the cabins over and would be totally happy with the least desirable cabin in the category we pay for, but we really enjoy waiting on the cabin assignment, especially when the ship starts filling up!

I think we are on same cruise as you (Grand Med, Aug 10). we did not book with upgradeable option but like you said, final payment still isn't due. I wonder if we should cancel and re-book with upgradeable or too much rolling the dice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwaynesworld Posted May 10, 2012 #23 Share Posted May 10, 2012 PS, we booked category BD on Baja deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcodixon Posted May 11, 2012 Author #24 Share Posted May 11, 2012 PS, we booked category BD on Baja deck. First off, we are not on the same cruise, but close. We board in Venice on Aug 22, Is your booking marked "No upgrade"? it is important that it is not. If booked through a TA have them check, If booked directly through Princess, give them a call. I think you can change the status without having to rebook. Good luck to you.. And since your cruise is before ours, I expect a full report! We will be in Venice watching you sail in!

I wonder if we should cancel and re-book with upgradeable or too much rolling the dice? No need to rebook. Call your travel agent (or Princess if you booked directly) and ask to have your status changed from "do not upgrade" to "will accept upgrade."
