CruizinMama1026 Posted October 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Just received a call from the update fairy this afternoon for our cruise in 11 days! We were upgraded from an OV to a Balcony for $190! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YubaSutter Posted October 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2014 That would be the upsell fairy. Upgrades are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Rose Posted October 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Congrats, OP! Can't you just smell that ocean breeze right now! I know I can and we're 25 days away. I am so anxious to get going I can't stand myself! Have fun, and enjoy that balcony! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxfl Posted October 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Also what is the REAL difference between that Balcony and the OV is it more than the $190 or the same? Do a fake booking to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizinMama1026 Posted October 15, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Also what is the REAL difference between that Balcony and the OV is it more than the $190 or the same? Do a fake booking to check Upsell fairy, sorry... I've never been offered either so I was excited! I did the fake booking and it's definitely cheaper. Compared to what they are charging now for what we paid, we saved $289. I called last week to see about an upgrade and Carnival was asking for $400! We said definitely not! I'm glad we waited.

sydney chic Posted October 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Does the Upsell fairy visit often?? I'm sailing 29 November in OV, but I know there are still balconies available. Do they start with VFIP and work their way through or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizinMama1026 Posted October 16, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've always read that they will call closer to your sailing date. Your chances are better if you book directly with Carnival too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted October 16, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It depends when she calls, I was offered the upgrade from Balcony to Suite at about 45 days out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goduckies05 Posted October 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Nice.. Did my own upgrade for my cuise coming up. For 108 bucks I upgraded from a 4j to 8c balcony. Not too bad. I wanted to try the 4j but for 100 bucks I couldn't pass it up! Sent from my SM-G900P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodi3284 Posted October 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I tell you what if that darn fairy calls my hubbys number instead of mine again this time I'm not gonna be a happy girl.... Tee hee He's not the sucker for a good upgrade that I am :D Congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David148 Posted October 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Aeesome! I love reading about up sells n upgrades. I've never had the fairy call me but I would love to be offered balcony for my upcoming cruise. But I doubt it as the Fantasy doesn't have many balconies lol. But congrats to you! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAHMto5 Posted October 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 17, 2014 You will love your balcony, enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted October 18, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The upgrade or upswell fairy has never called me, and I usually up sell myself or take advantage of new promos or price drops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
