Upgrade call for solo cruisers

[airlink diva]

For the first time since cruising, I got a call from the cruiseline asking me if I wanted to upgrade to a suite :eek:!

I had to listen more than once at the message. I never got a call for an upgrade,esp not a suite.

I left a message and waiting back.

Have any other solo cruisers receive a call for an upgrade?

Nope, I am really impressed. I would be interested to know what kind of a deal that they offer you. :rolleyes:

Yes, once.

 

But I no longer wait for calls/emails. If I see an opportunity for an affordable upgrade, I pursue it proactively.

Me too! Let us know what happens :)

I have gotten the update call, but never an offer to upgrade to a suite. I usually book an inside or ocean view because of the supplement so a suite upgrade would be a big jump.

[airlink diva]

I booked an inside cabin for this cruise to go cheap as possible. That's why I'm shocked about the offer

[Scrapnana]

Inside to Suite! Amazing. Can't wait to hear what kind of a deal they are offering.

[Cairnmom]

I have never been offered an upgrade as a solo, but I usually upgrade myself if the prices drop close to sailing. I'm curious what deal they offered you.

[Virtopia]

I have never received that call, but that sure is nice! Hope it works out for you.

I've received free upgrades, but have never received an offer to upgrade. They just did it. The best one was on Princess. I booked an obstructed oceanview (oxymoronic!) and was upgraded to a mini-suite without a balcony.

If the "upgrade" requires you to pay additional money, it is not an upgrade, but an upsell. The term upgrade when initiated by the line implies a better accommodation given for free.

Hi everyone! Giving an update.

I got back with them too late for the suite upgrade :(! I did ask about going from an inside to an outside cabin, but on the same deck that I'm on now.

Yes. In my five solo cruises, I have been upgraded four times. I have been upgraded to a higher deck but same category, and my best upgrade was a double...inside to obstructed view to balcony.

 

Congrats on your upgrade offer.

Hi

 

I've been keeping my eye on the balcony "aft" cabin there are so often coveted for my July 8th sailing on the Victory. Looks like there are quite a few left (at least 6 from what I saw). If I called and tried to bargain with a supervisor a bit closer to sailing- do they ever go for it? Right now it is showing on the website as an additional $14.00 per day per person.

 

Thanks,

Caro

Yeh, I hope next time that I'm answering the phone when calling and it involve a cabin with a great balcony!

Yes. In my five solo cruises, I have been upgraded four times. I have been upgraded to a higher deck but same category, and my best upgrade was a double...inside to obstructed view to balcony.
