canuckinindia Posted April 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I know the first rule is don't book a room your not happy to stay in, having said that wanted to know if there is a set rule that higher category rooms get offered complimentary upgrades first? If that's the case would A1 Aqua be the highest non-suite room when it comes for hoping to get bumped up to a Suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted April 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I think that the rule is that if there is a demand for the cabin type you have booked, they might offer you an upsell to a higher category, not a free upgrade. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisead Posted April 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Celebrity isn't known for giving bump ups or free upgrades. Just about the only way an upgrade MIGHT happen is if you book a guarantee cabin, and even then, you rarely will get bumped from an ocean view to a suite. What you usually get is the same cabin category, but in a better location. We've done more than 30 cruises on Celebrity and have never gotten an upgrade. I just think you need to realize that free upgrades will not likely happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted April 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We have never gotten an upgrade in 26 cruises. The most we have been 'bumped' was lucking out on an S1 when we booked a Sky Suite GTY once. Celebrity is not known for upgrading. If you do a GTY, it has been my observance in reading these boards that your best chance of being bumped up is if you are new to Celebrity. When I hear of fantastic upgrades (which is rare) it is almost always someone brand new to Celebrity. But even then it is rare, rare, rare to be bumped up more than one category.

Rare shipshape sam Posted April 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We almost got an upgrade, but we did not want the higher category in a location we did not want. We were traveling with others and it would have put us on a different deck. WE were fortunate that our TA was on top of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Upgrades are much more likely on Royal C than X ..it can happen but not something you can expect in quantity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted April 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I know the first rule is don't book a room your not happy to stay in, having said that wanted to know if there is a set rule that higher category rooms get offered complimentary upgrades first? If that's the case would A1 Aqua be the highest non-suite room when it comes for hoping to get bumped up to a Suite? As others have mentioned, Celebrity is not known for "giving" upgrades. If you want to move? They will be happy to take your $ and you can buy a more expensive cabin. And as for suites? I have never booked one but I can tell you they usually sell out.....there are lots of people who book them from the get go.

letsgocruising10 Posted April 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We've done more than 30 cruises on Celebrity and have never gotten an upgrade. I just think you need to realize that free upgrades will not likely happen. I agree, the more you cruise with a particular cruise line, the less chance of getting an "Upsell" offer. The only time we have received an upsell ( inside to balcony for $100 ) was during our first booking with Carnival and Norwegian. I think it is a marketing thing....makes you want to book that second cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine our surprised faces at check in when we were told our room had been changed...from OV to Concierge! The only explanation we could come up with was there were construction workers onboard for Luminae & we did see workers along the corrider on deck 3 where the OV rooms are located.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
