Can't upgrade from 2b Veranda with Select level?

[watson524]

I just got signed up for Select level (first cruise on X 8/16 out of Vancouver - pending ship issues :) ) because of my status on RCC. Saw where pending availability you could get a room upgrade. Called X and they said no go, it doesn't apply once you are booked on balcony or higher. Really?

 

thanks!

Pretty sure that's correct. Upgrades (at any loyalty level) don't happen at veranda and above.

That is correct. Upgrades only occur within Inside to Inside and Oceanview to Oceanview. No upgrades for balcony and above.

Here's the deal:

This offer cannot be used with certain restricted fares including but not limited to Exciting Deals, ChoiceAir® specials, Reduced air, interline, travel agent, Travelzoo, and employee rates, Upgrades apply for one stateroom per cruise. Stateroom assignments only. Suites, Concierge Class and verandas excluded. Not valid on holiday sailings or Reunion Cruises. Upgrades available from categories 11-4 on all Celebrity ships except Celebrity Xpedition®."

I am not sure but you may have misunderstood them. I think the upgrade only applies for inside to inside or outside to outside. Upgrades don't apply to balcony categories or above. It doesn't matter when you booked.

 

If you book on board you will get a 2 category upgrade in the same category but not balcony to CC or to AQ. There are no upgrades for AQ. I looked at booking a AQ cabin on board and was told there's no upgrade for that class even though there is a AQ1 and AQ2. There didnt seem to be any advantage at that time to book on board.

Good to know, thanks all. It was worth a shot! :)

The only time you get balcony upgrade, when you book on board and you get at that time
