moses0 Posted August 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well I'm totally blessed!!! Not sure I should be telling this. I didn't care much for where our room was situated (although content just to be onboard). Noticing that Cunard were offering 175 years Specials I called to see if I could get an upgrade to a balcony at the reduced fare. Well not only did I get the stateroom I wanted I got it for no extra charge!!!:) Not sure if I have ever heard of that before! Answer to my wife prayers!

Did you originally book a Cunard fare or the saver and did you book through a ta or direct? I'm wondering about doing this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We originally booked a Cunard fare directly with a very helpful agent by the name of Lisa. We booked as far back as January. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLawDog Posted August 22, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Congratulations on your upgrade to a better cabin. We have sailed many times and have always wondered how that worked. I may just call and ask, too. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Hope you have a great voyage.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeVerm Posted September 18, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We always book direct with a Cunard booking agent. When we hear of specials with lower prices we always ask for either re-booking or, if last installment has been paid like in this case, ask for extra's like upgrade, on-board credit etc. This time we were upgraded to a balcony (sheltered mid ship deck 5) like the OP without loosing any extras we already had like free on-board credit etc. We are traveling with others so dates are fixed because when possible we just wait for the best deals and don't care about the exact sail date :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
