artypharty Posted August 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Always hoping for a visit from the elusive gal and never even getting a peek at her, I was cool with the fact that I probably never would see her. Thinking about her (okay, obsessing about her), I started figuring that since that whited bearded Christmas fella ( not naming him -don't want to disappoint any kiddo's) is really ME, and that long eared fella that comes in the Spring with baskets is really ME, then maybe the upgrade fairy is really me!?!? Sooooo... Just upgraded myself from a balcony to a Jr. Suite (albeit a guarantee) for FREE! Yes Virginia, there is an upgrade fairy and in this case she is ME!:) Happy, happy!

artypharty Posted August 8, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Make sure that they charge you at least $1 if you want double cruise points.:D Just talked to C&A, because I made the booking change, it wasn't complimentary from RCI, I get my double cruise points AND I've already been assigned a cabin... AND it's an aft cabin! First aft, looking forward to giving it a try!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artypharty Posted August 8, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted August 8, 2014 That's fantastic! Hope you enjoy! Mind me asking how you managed? Some kind of promotion you caught wind of? Thanks! I check my bookings (prices, cabin placement, etc) rather obsessively. :o. I'd originally booked this one on the BOGOHO, through a travel agent ( I normally self book -direct). I checked this morning and it appeared, with a change in RCI's pricing, that I could get the JS in an upgrade, for next to nothing. I called the TA and voila.. Super dooper, free upgrade. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuing with the story of my self upgrade... Called today and got upgraded from that coveted aft JS to a GS! Again for free!!!! How did that happen I asked myself and the only answer is ... Good wholesome living (yea, right!:o;)) I am not questioning how this chain of events came to pass , only thrilled that it DID! If there were a camera, you'd see me flying around the room, waving my arms with a grand suite sized grin on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artypharty Posted August 9, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted August 9, 2014 omgosh! really?? for the SAME price? when is your sailing & which ship? It's the Enchantment, a little 3 nite on 8/22. The cabins are not the same price, no idea how the TA finagled it, but she did!!! It really would be too good to be true on a longer cruise, however ... we do have a POV, 7 nite, western Caribbean for only $374/pp. which I think is also a super deal.
