SAILONNOW Posted July 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2015 This may sound crazy, but who calls when it's the Upsell or Upgrade Fairy? :confused: I do not answer any unidentified calls. Am I missing out? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel2 Posted July 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I don't normally answer any unidentified calls either. But, when I have a cruise booked. I don't ignore anything from the 305 area code. That's where they'll be calling from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Seas Texan Posted July 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2015 When I have received "the call", the rep has left a message with a special extion to ask for when I call back. When I have a cruise booked, I always try to answer any call coming in with a 305 area code (Miami, Fl.) justin case! Once I was upgraded to the Owners Suite on the CARNIVAL ECSTASY and once offered a really good rate to upgrade to a Grand Suite. Good luck! (I have also called Carnival and asked if any upgrade possibilities are out there....and perhaps that places me on an interested list for upsell options.

Vitamin_Sea Posted July 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Never received any upsell call. . Maybe its because I always book through an online TA ? I have received an upsell email once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted July 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I answered the telephone when I saw the "305" telephone number. It was the upsell fairy offering a move from the cheapest interior to an aft wrap balcony for $292. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwightnwynonia Posted July 20, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I got it for our fantasy cruise scored from inside to grand suite for $250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christyran1228 Posted July 20, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Always answer the "305"! We got the call ... and upgraded from a balcony to a suite with just a little of the OBC we had accumulated from price drops. It was a fabulous turn of events for our anniversary ... not sure how we got so lucky, but definitely not complaining. ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love my grandkids Posted July 20, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The three calls we have gotten were from 305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annietoo Posted July 20, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We received a call on our last two cruises and both times my phone showed "Carnival Cruise" calling. I always book online with Carnival and I do not have a PVP. Both times the deal was really good, not amazing, but worth the price. We upgraded from interior to aft balcony on a trip to Hawaii and were so glad we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherLovesToTravel Posted July 20, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I actually got the upsell EMAIL. It said to call back. I called back and replied to the email. They called me and I got upsold to an Ocean Suite. It was nice, but it wasn't worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPERBKWRITER Posted July 20, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've been called a few times and learned a some things. First, I kept the phone # so I can call them if the ship appears to be selling slowly and if you do get an offer that you don't accept ask about what else she has available. Last time I was offered a balcony from a 4A for $125 pp=$250. I said no but asked about OV (which is a bigger cabin on Splendor and Freedom) and got upgraded for $20 pp=$40.

dorinel Posted July 20, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 20, 2015 either, but I always book with a TA. Maybe that is why? Because I book through a TA, I would have to call them to see if any upsells/upgrades are available, right? How close does the upsell/upgrade fairy call to your scheduled cruise? Curious. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wander Posted July 20, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Regardless of the cruise line, I have always received the call from my TA. Frequently get "upsell" offers (usually do not take them) and sometimes an upgrade opportunity. When such come, my TA has always worked hard to make sure I know of the opportunity quickly.

happywife0921 Posted July 20, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I always answer the call from the 305! Gotten 2 upgrades so far, last one was from inside cabin to deluxe ocean suite for 20 bucks:cool: Plus one weird night I was online looking at our booking and I got a popup offering an upgrade deal so I did a screenshot and called just to make sure it was legit because I wasnt aware Carnival did that.

klepton Posted July 20, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Got a call from 305 area code, didn't answer and he left a message about an opportunity to upgrade from our GS to the Owner's Suite on the Fantasy. I called back about 2 hours later and the offer was no longer available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted July 20, 2015 #24 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Area codes going south from where I live: 561 = Palm Beach county 954 = Broward county 305 = MIAMI DADE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4 Posted July 21, 2015 #25 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think the upsell fairy has us on speed dial because she has called us for almost every cruise since we've been platinum. She has called anywhere from 2-18 days before the cruise. I wish she would share our VIFP numbers with the fairy that offers free or almost free cruises!
