cl00686 Posted November 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2013 So ny wife calls me and asks if Carnival has called me, I told her no why??? She tells me she just got a call and offered a suite for $500 total with no extra taxes... So needless to say we are now in a $3400 suite for right at $2100! We cruise on the 17th, and I can't wait as we've never had a suite . Sent from my HTCONE using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the upsell call on the Fascination in May it was the best $500 we EVER spent on vacation! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You guys enjoy your cruise and your suite! ;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted November 5, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Enjoy but you were actually upsold to a suite. And they stated that in their comments. You can "upgrade" for a price. They didn't state they had a visit from the upgrade fairy. To the OP, enjoy your cruise and your suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyislandwilldo Posted November 5, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Have a great time with all the extra space in your suite. When we had ours, I made a door sign that stated "Life is sweet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timhoke Posted November 5, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The only problem is once you do the suite it is REALLLLLLY hard to go back to just a balcony room, trust me I know! The extra room is great, the separate dressing area, lots of closet space, the bigger balcony always make for a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinisthebest Posted November 5, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You can upgrade and pay for it. Or you can get a free one. I’ve had both. On the Paradise I was upgraded from and OV to a GS for free. Complete surprise when we checked in. With our current cruise, we upgraded from and Inside to a Scenic OV for more money. Either way, it’s an upgrade. Your going from one cabin type to something better. Why rain on OPs parade over wording? It was clearly stated they paid for it. Congratulations on your suite. That’s gonna be sweeeet! Have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cl00686 Posted November 5, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted November 5, 2013 That's an upsell. Upgrades are free. Whatever it was I'm happy with it lets call it 50% upsell 50% upgrade since if I would of booked it the total would of been $3400ish with taxes and insurance. We got it from Carnival for $2058 total, taxes insurance and fees included :) So it was still around $1400 less than it would of been normally :thumbup: I paid more for our August balcony room on the Conquest than I'm paying for a Suite on the Magic in a week and a half, I'm good with that Sent from my HTCONE using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sold it to you for $2100, that's all it's worth. But is sure feels good to think about it the other way. We've all done it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra room is great, the separate dressing area, lots of closet space, the bigger balcony always make for a great trip. We got upsold to a suite on our Spirit cruise 2011 and since have cruised at least once a year and back to our old insides. I loved the balcony and extra room. We have however on occasion booked 2 cabins to give is the room back but no Balcony until Oct 2014. OP enjoy your cruise glad you where given this chance and its fun to try and see what you think. If you happen to hear from the fairy again let them know I'm sailing Sunshine in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
