BandM Posted October 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just called to see if any upgrades were available for our cruise on Sunday. For the bargain price of $2,000 we could get into a balcony room. No thanks, thats more than we paid including tips!!! Has anyone ever received a last minute deal?

Clarea Posted October 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2015 People report being called by Royal and offered reduced cost upgrades. Not sure how often that happens, but it has not happened to us yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted October 9, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It happened to us the end of August- upsell not upgrade- from an inside to an OV- we received an email. When we called to get the price they could not find the email or price so they gave us an OV for FREE:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted October 9, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Upsell is right! I consider an "upgrade" to be a free thing....they simply move you to a better cabin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted October 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm surprised they didn't pay you to move up.:rolleyes: Well I guess that they did. We also got to take advantage of their BEST PRICE GUARANTEE:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryjaden Posted October 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2015 On our March oasis cruise, I had a JS guarantee and was assigned a Grand Suite. On my Liberty cruise next week, I booked a GS and took an up sell to an OS for $49.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fla Mike Posted October 10, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 10, 2015 How about a self-upgrade? Went to check pricing last weekend on our upcoming Enchantment cruise on 10-19 and saw D1's for $34pp more than we paid for the OV. You know I had to do it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrotheadtoo Posted October 10, 2015 #15 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) We once booked an inside cabin on the Enchantment of the Seas. We saw a rate for an outside cabin that was not much more than what we paid, so we change to the outside cabin.... Well, between the booking of the inside cabin and changing to the outside cabin, an email went out to us offering an upsell to an outside cabin. We called telling them about the letter and told them that we were already in an outside cabin. We asked if they could offer an upsell from a outside to a balcony cabin, and we were told no... End of story!..... :eek: Edited October 10, 2015 by Parrotheadtoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted October 10, 2015 #16 Share Posted October 10, 2015 We're Diamond, not that that necessarily matters, and we have never been given a free or otherwise discounted upgrade in 11 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I had to do it :D Glad that you were able to go to a D1 after final payment date... You spoke to the right person.. We once tried to go from a balcony to a junior suite at an additional cost, and they would not change us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not want to do it at first, the CSR said she did not see the price, after I escalated the new Rep said the system was locked due to my using some RCCL credit card points I had. She unlocked it, got me the upgrade, and kept the discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb317 Posted October 10, 2015 #19 Share Posted October 10, 2015 We've never been offered an upsell but we have been upgraded twice for free, once from a balcony to a JS and once from an interior to a JS. Both times we were called a few weeks before our cruise with the offer. The second cruise was the first leg of a B2B so on the second leg, we had to go back to our interior. :eek: It was rough!:D Sherri:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knittinggirl Posted October 10, 2015 #21 Share Posted October 10, 2015 No upgrades in over 200 cruise days got us. Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9876 Posted October 10, 2015 #22 Share Posted October 10, 2015 What was the timeline before the cruise that anyone has gotten the upsell call or email? Has anyone called and asked for an upsell and gotten it? Have you only received one when booked with RCCL or do they offer them through travel agents too? I have never gotten one from any cruise line so I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel alone. Nada...zip..never for me either. The extremely rare free upgrade (from the upgrade fairy that I swear is a myth :rolleyes:) is actually getting more rare over the years. I usually look forward to after the final payment date and then watch in the hopes that the fares go down to upgrade myself to a higher cat cabin. Those are also getting more rare as the fares don't seem to go down much any longer. Sigh.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted October 10, 2015 #24 Share Posted October 10, 2015 We haven't seen a free upgrade since our 3rd or 4th cruise. It's been so long I can't remember which one. We did get an upsell call for our Allure 2014. GS to something for $400. Don't remember what suite because we didn't take it.
