Upsell fairy called!!!

[cooler]

At work today and missed a call that I thought was from my PVP, so I called her back and it was not her that called me!

I asked her what the chances are that it was an upgrade call, she said it was possible but kind of doubted it being just 4 days out from sailing. So I chalked it up to being a courtesy call about sailing next Monday. No big deal on missing that call.

 

Then about an hour later I get another call from Carnival!!! I was lucky enough to be able to answer this second call. But thought to myself just a call back on the courtesy call. NO!!!! Upsell pitch due to our Anniversary that I listed under our booking of "special occasion" your celebrating while on this cruise. (Maybe that's one way to get the call???)

 

Offered me to go from a 4C interior to a 8C balcony for $206.00. I told him I only had $100.00 to spend (was tempted to take the first offer but thanks to these forums I have learned better.) He asked me to hold and came back and said he has been "authorized" to let me have it for $125.00 TOTAL for both of us so I bit.

 

I am still in shock that I got a second call back from them but even happier with our first balcony!!!

Congrats on your upgrade. Where did you find the "special occasion" section on the website? I looked but could not find it.

[BenjiRodney]

Good deal, enjoy it.

That's awesome! Enjoy, out of curiosity what is the area code carnival calls from so I can watch for it just in case. I but that I am celebrating my 30th birthday on board, so maybe they will call me closer to my cruise. :D

How do you add an anniversary? I can't seem to figure it out. We are going on our next cruise to celebrate our 20th anniversary.

You need to add it when you have a booking. You will see all the travelers listed and then you can add info regarding their medical info, B-days, honeymoon and anniversary date.
