We are currently in an interior room on riviera deck. Doesn't get any more upgradeable than that! Is it worth calling or will it be the beginning of them trying to upswell me out of the bargain basement?

Has anyone else ever got this email and called with success?

I would stay where you are .You can save that money and have just as much fun.

I received an email similar to yours today. Mine was offering to upgrade the stateroom from an interior to an oceanview for $50.00. I called and had no problems with the upgrading. I think that for the price, the upgrade was worth it. I'm not sure if yours was a room upgrade or just a deck upgrade though.

I'm guessing that this is for your Splendor cruise. There are some definite advantages to being on Riviera or Main decks. It's closer to the dining rooms, nighttime entertainment, and where you get off & on the ship in port. I think Empress deck is nice, as it is centrally located between those things & the pool/buffet/waterslide. You can call & ask, but you'd do just as well researching it yourself online, to see how much extra it would cost to move here or there. It's unlikely that they will offer any special deal over the phone. It's usually the same price as if you did it yourself, and sometimes even higher than doing it yourself.

Swmo - I think for $50 I would take an outside. We have always been interior because we are rarely in the room. But I don't think I would bother to just move decks and keep inside.

For the reasons that k2 mentioned above. Every deck has pros and close to dining room is nice.

 

Swmo - was your email the same or did it read differently?

 

Oh, and yes... it is for our MR cruise in Dec on Splendour. Thanks for your help!

Has anyone else seen this email? What will be the max I can upgrade?

Not me... I would upgrade/upsell from an interior room in a heartbeat.

Its just moving you up to a higher deck.

 

Your upsell is within the same category. It is nice to be on Lido .. but I dont know if I would pay that much.

our friends got this email on our last cruise, it was an upgrade from an interior to a balcony on the lido, for $40 they didnt take it as there was a group of us and we all wanted to stay together.

 

I would call and see what they are offering!

I don't see myself paying a premium just to be on a higher deck. I like being lower anyway.

If it was to a balcony .. why would it say its just to a higher deck on the email? I would assume the upgrade is what it says it is.. not something better.

 

Looks to me like its a within the category upgrade.. and of course the sooner you call, the better chance you have that you can get a nice high deck.. if you want it.

[Scarlett824]

Can't hurt to call and find out. I'd upgrade from an inside to any other cabin in a heartbeat. Let us know what they offer you.

[bunny2jengirl]

the upgrade is not for a cabin type (ie from inner to porthole), it is just a change in location - to a higher deck
