Ginger27 Posted November 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We are booked on the Freedom for January 10, 2015 in two spa deck rooms. We keep getting upsell emails to a junior suite (although none are listed as available). We see that there are still at least 12 Ocean Suites available. The amount they want is ridiculous (as far as I am concerned) but has anyone had any luck with a counter offer. I would take 2 of them if the price was right.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9_Cop Posted November 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The last upgrade we got was for our honeymoon cruise in April on the valor. We went from a normal balcony to a grand suite for a few hundred dollars. I couldn't resist. Never made a counter officer though. Don't think it would work.

JillySue Posted November 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2014 My dad tried, they said they'd call if no one else took it. They never called back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Wavey Posted November 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I tried negotiating the $550 upsell from a Lido Balcony to a spa balcony. He just kept saying how the total price would already be under 50% of rack rate. Yeah right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are NO Jr. Suites available on our sailing either, on Ocean Suites, and they want almost the full going rate. What a joke, if we wanted to book one at that high price we would have. Don't quite understand CCL's marketing at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted November 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Not to hijack the tread but.... Do you have get an upsell call or email when booked thru a travel agent? I received both, first the call then the email. I said yes but it was a special occasion (our anniversary). My wife was delighted. I was blown away. Fantastic experience!
