caribill Posted October 11, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Unfortunately, the upgrade fairy controls who gets the upgrades. However, if you want to switch cabins once onboard, you should be able to arrage it at the Purser's desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted October 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Being upgraded to a suite is pretty rare, and may depend on the type of GTYs you have. Once the room assignments are made, if you want to swap rooms, wait until you get on the boat and let the pursers desk handle it. Mazel tov to your daughter and to your family!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmom Posted October 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Upgrades within a category (inside to inside cabin, balcony to balcony, etc) happen fairly frequently, but upgrades to a different cabin type (inside to balcony, balcony to suite) are much more unusual. I don't want you to be disappointed if you are expecting someone to get an upgrade to a different cabin type. Upgrades of this sort do happen, but not often. The main thing to remember about booking a guarantee is to make sure that you would be happy with the category cabin you have booked, knowing that you can get that cabin category or maybe higher within that cabin type. I think some travel agents give the idea that an upgrade to a more expensive higher cabin type (ie, outside to balcony or suite) happens more often then it actually does. I have read posts by people who booked a gty cabin that were expecting an upgrade to a higher category cabin type and were upset when it didn't happen.

scanditaly Posted October 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thought I recognized your call sign. We will be sailing together in December. Very big congrats for your daughter and her upcoming nuptials. Did you say Harbourside??? Sounds really cool. I think I remember you mentioning that your older daughter would not be able to make it, but your two sons would be present. Is that her? Hope you don't mind my being so nosy. Our thread is rather quiet; I suppose with so many families, there isn't as much need for reaching out socially. come on over and post your news, I am certain our roll call would love to hear it. BTW: good luck with getting an upgrade.
