Maybe another thread about a menu? Oh, I know! An "upsell" thread! Or how about one about the UBP? How about another wall-of-text "review"? Brining non-Haven guests to Cagney's?

takeadip Posted February 16, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Please explain an upsale - I imagine an upgrade? New to the lingo! I'm new as we'll .... But these forums are great for hints and tips... Yes it's an upsell number you call as your sail date gets closer within prob like 24 days or so... You call and ask what's available and they tell you the desired prices to upgrade your cabin to haven etc... I've been calling but my offers seem a little high for my budget. Hope that helps -mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeadip Posted February 16, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 16, 2016 upsell # ... what is it and how soon or late do you call? sailing April 21 2016...TIA here is the number: 1-800-625-4309 i started calling at 24 days till sail date. but when you call they will tell you if there are any offers yet or not...i think it depends on how full and fast the Ship is filling up. i was also told you can counter offer...but when i tried at day 24 i was abruptly told "no". so i guess like anything if its a week out you can prob bargain a bit. just have your reservation number handy and credit card ready cause when you hang up the deal is usually off the table... good luck and keep us posted.. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny6514 Posted February 17, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I wonder if they keep a record of how often you call. I've been refraining from calling daily but I'm pretty scared of missing offers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been refraining from calling daily but I'm pretty scared of missing offers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I would think they would keep track...but thats just a guess. I called today for our 3/6 BA and was told the same offers from 10 days ago...i fake booked a haven and noticed that the penthouse haven that used to have 10 cabins left...now only has 2 left!!! so i guess a lot of people were ok paying $1000 for the upgrade.. I was also told that my brother in law who is already booked same cruise in a balcony cal call when its a week out of sail date and upgrade from balcony to mini suite. Thats all the new info i got. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends and I are about to book the ncl dawn sept 2-9 to bermunda from boston. I was just wondering if you guys had any tips or things i can say to get any extra perks and deals before booking.
