Pennipops Posted October 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hello. I have read about room upgrades. There will be 3 of us sharing a cabin, me my husband and 13 yo daughter. I will book an outside non-obstructed cabin, as there are 3 of us are we less likely to be up-graded? We have never cruised before, and can't wait to go. It will be on the Star Princess to Hawaii.

Rare TracieABD Posted October 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Who knows how the "Upgrade Fairy" works???? (Actually, there is an alleged computer program that utilizes a super-secret mathematical algorithm). I do hope you get an upgrade and will keep my fingers crossed for you!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorisis Posted October 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2012 There ia always a chance for an upgrade unless you ask NOT to be changed from a chosen cabin. But whatever you get, I am sure you will enjoy the ship and the cruise BON VOYAGE! ~Doris~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted October 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2012 As there are a limited number of cabins that can hold three or four passengers, an upgrade is unlikely unless someone in one of those cabins is either upgraded or cancels. And if that happens, there will be others booked in a cabin such as yours who are also wishing for a touch of the upgrade fairy's wand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted October 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Probably less likely then a twosome but still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted October 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Book the cabin that you will be happy in... (that is within your price range). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Patches Posted October 11, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Upgrades are a rarity so don't count on one. Book a cabin you will be happy with. In more than 20 sailings with Princess I have been upgraded once. The likelihood of an upgrade with 3 to a cabin is much less because there are a small percentage of cabins that will accommodate three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarketcruiser Posted October 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Our very first cruise we had a balcony cabin booked and got upgraded to a mini suite and after 15 cruises we have had three upgrades. The last one was a upgrade to a suite. You never know. And we are a family of three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabreeze8 Posted October 11, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Anything is possible but don't count on it, otherwise you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. When it does happens and you are least expected it, you'll be pleasantly surprised! :) Regardless, have a great cruise! If you are like the rest of us,you'll be hooked! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weiss5682 Posted October 11, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2012 If you are not upgraded go right up to the pursers desk and see if there is any upgrades available. They will charge you a reduced amount for a upgrade if available. They will also will call you later that night or on the second day incase someone doesn't show up for the cruise you might be able to buy their room. They start making a list when the cruise begins of people interested in upgrades. I would ask to speak to the manager and a 20 dollar bill might get you bumped to the front of the list. Tell them that you didn't know the space would so tight with 3 people and if that it would be a great help and that you would help them out if they able to come through.

Rare Tak8 Posted October 11, 2012 #14 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I don't know the odds and I would say don't think about it. Having said that, my party of 3 was upgraded from a mini to a VS on my first Princess cruise. A wonderful first experience on Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennipops Posted October 11, 2012 Author #15 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks all for taking the time to respond. I will definately book a cabin I will be happy with, hopefully a sea-view won't be too pokey with 3 of us in it! I don't intend on spending much time in my cabin anyway. As long as I can see the sea and sun I'll be happy. I can't wait, just have to keep saving to pay for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
