Upsell fairy Celine

[soccersharon]

Received my first "upsell" call earlier today.

 

The offer was to go from an 8E Lido balcony for 4 to a Grand Suite, Empress Deck, mid-ship for $740+ dollars.

 

I didn't take it. We're very happy to have a cabin close to the fun and food.

 

Thoughts - ya or nay?

That's a lot of money... I wouldn't have taken it either.... Too many other things that money could buy

Howlong was cruise and what ship?

Liberty, departing this Saturday :)

We had a Lido balcony on our last Liberty cruise and booked another for this coming May, it was so convenient and has become our favorite location. I wish every ship had Lido cabins :) Please let us know all about your cruise when you get back~

Big Nay, Good choice $740 bucks could go for a lot of other stuff. Enjoy your cruise.:)

I would have probably gone for the upsell.

 

Would love to try a grand suite and for that money would have splurged.

You made a good choice! The Lido deck is my favorite for cabins... and look at all the extra bucks you have for your celebration!

NAY!

 

Im an old gal, but Im still learning, and what I now know, is that given Carnival suites dont give you any perks except maybe a VIP checkin lounge, then as I see it, you are really only getting a bigger room, with a few more closets bigger window, and a tub,etc.

 

If it was a cruiseline who offered some perks with their suites, as in concierge, butler service and a private sun deck, patio etc with an exclusive club for snacks and food and comped liquor, then would be more prone to consider it, depending on cost.

 

Nay on Carnival, but Yay on....................

For $400, I probably would have gone for it :) Budget wouldn't allow it. But it was VERY tempting. Maybe next time!

 

ETA: we're visiting 4 ports - not much time to enjoy the extra space anyway.
