Rare nbsjcruiser Posted February 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2016 DW thought it might be a good idea to call NCL today to see if there were any upgrade offers available for our upcoming Getaway cruise leaving on Sunday. Much to my surprise they offered us an upgrade from our inside cabin to a Mini Suite for $275 USD. We jumped right on it of course and grabbed it. After I hung up and had a chance to think about it I suddenly wondered if there was a Spa Suite available so about 2 hrs later I called back and much to my surprise I got a Spa Suite for the same price! Sauna for the week baby! Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted February 22, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That's great! I have a question though -- was the $275 pp? or total? thanks! Total which is why we jumped on it. There's 3 people in our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted February 22, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is it a haven spa suite? No - just a Spa Mini Suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kjquilts Posted February 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No - just a Spa Mini Suite From an inside to a spa mini suite for such a low price is a great move - congratulations :). Earlier in this thread you asked if there were perks for having a spa suite. A mini suite is not a "real" suite so does not receive suite perks. However the spa on the Getaway is beautiful. Having access included for the three of you assuming all are at least 18 is wonderful. You'll enjoy the extra space in your stateroom as well as the balcony.

rochelle_s Posted February 22, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Having a spa cabin should mean that you will receive some upgraded toiletries. At least that has been my experience in the past. Congrats on the amazing upgrade. Enjoy!! Rochelle Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovetotravel1977 Posted February 22, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 22, 2016 OP, do you mind me asking how much it ended up costing in CDN $? We are 4 people in an inside and would LOVE this upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurse kris Posted February 23, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2016 When is the best time to call to try and get an upgrade, right before sailing? How many weeks in advance? This will be my first time trying to upgrade. I tried once a few years ago and they said only posted price upgrades were available. There weren't any deals.

ljrfrm Posted February 23, 2016 #23 Share Posted February 23, 2016 When is the best time to call to try and get an upgrade, right before sailing? How many weeks in advance? This will be my first time trying to upgrade. I tried once a few years ago and they said only posted price upgrades were available. There weren't any deals. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app I started calling at 32 days out for my 3/19 Escape cruise. I planned to wait until less than 30 days but got antsy! At 32 days out I was told they didn't have anything and to try back in one week. I got antsy again so tried again at 29 days out and again, was told they didn't have anything. Yesterday (26 days out) I got an email offering me an upsell to a H9 Haven Spa Suite ($1,500 per person). I called them back and told them that was too much money for me. They then offered me a H5 Haven Penthouse ($500 per person - for first two, no charge for our third person). I took it. I might have been able to get it for less closer to sailing (I tried to get her down to $750 total yesterday but she wouldn't budge) but I didn't want to risk losing the upsell. I'm not sure whether I got the email because of my previous two calls or it's coincidence but for me it worked out perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetotravel1977 Posted February 23, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2016 $2200CAN approximately/ Wait, what? $2200? I thought it was $275 US for the entire cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdec Posted February 23, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Wait, what? $2200? I thought it was $275 US for the entire cabin? The upgrade was 275 on top of what they had already paid for the original room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
