Upgrade offer

[Shmoo here]

Is an upgrade offer of $79 per person from a oceanview to a balcony for a 7 night cruise a good deal?

[eyoreblu]

Take it and run!

[azgrandmax3]

I think it would be well worth the $. Enjoy

Think you answered your own question. :D

[partybarbie]

Yes, that's a good deal.:)

[cruisequeen4ever]

Yes!!

[Working 2 Cruise]

Just to clarify, it's an upsell offer, not an upgrade as upgrades are free... but yes, it's a great deal!

Do it and do it NOW.

A great deal. I am always on pins and needles waiting for that upgrade email. I upgraded from a mini-suite to a full suite on my upcoming coastal for 159.00 pp and am very excited! Have a great cruise!

It's a good deal if you want a balcony cabin, if you don't want a balcony then it's not well spent money.

Yeah, I know. But the e-mail from Princess said "upgrade", so that's what I went with. :D

 

Thanks, everyone!

It is an upgrade. Just a paid one, not a free one.

Wish we could get one - 32 cruises with various lines and Elite with Princess and we have never had a sniff at an upgrade or upsell 😭

Same here. Elite with Princess and never an upsell or upgrade. Nothing, nada. Maybe some day. Hope springs eternal.

I would just check that the location is not right under say the late night club or something.

Happy cruising.

It helps to go over the deck plans for the ship in advance of talking with the "upsell fairy" at Princess--in fact, having them right in front of you when talking with her helps the most. That way you can possibly avoid cabins you don't want. We had an upsell offer on a 5 day CB cruise in October from interior to balcony. When the "fairy" got back to me by phone, she offered us a particular cabin, and I asked her if anything else was available, and were there any Caribe balconies? She said yes and gave us a Caribe balcony almost midship. Never hurts to ask and be polite about it.

 

Of course, I would've taken almost any balcony cabin!

 

We're Platinum and this was our first upsell offer, but we've had some free upgrades before.

[KruzPrincess]

I'd snap it up even if it wasn't a great location, but I love my balcony.

[BCCRUSINGCOUPLE]

Agreed.

When I read the OP's first post I thought: "Hmm, must be a trick question...."

 

I hope that they grabbed the offer. Upgrade or up-sell, either way, a great deal price-wise. At $79.00 that is about $11.00 per person per day.:cool:

Not a trick question. We're new Princess cruisers. And, when we cruise, we generally get oceanview rooms.

 

The offer was emailed on Friday. And, unfortunately, not read until after business hours. We called and left a voice mail (email says they're only open M-F) and that voice mails are returned in the order received. So we have to wait until tomorrow to find out what's available.

 

Fingers crossed.

Good luck, you probably have a good chance.

[Shmoo here]

Well, after a couple of days playing phone tag with the Princess reservation person, it's done!

 

We're now in a balcony room(near the back of the ship).

 

I wish I was more ready for this cruise.:)

[Colo Cruiser]

Good deal.

[JimAOk1945]

I'm glad you were able to grab that great deal! Enjoy your cruise!
