Upsell Call...

[FSUNole]

Is there a typical number of days before departure that they call? That is, if they call.

[RadioRob]

There is nothing formal from what I understand. It could be anytime after final payment I would expect.

 

It all depends on how well the ship is filling up, if there any specific categories selling vs another, etc. (They might offer more upgrades to JS for example if they feel they can make more selling a balcony.)

We got the upsell call 3 days before our last cruise on the allure. We went from a balcony room to the aqua suite for only $1050 more.

VERY Rare!

Wow! You would think they would have found someone in a higher category to upgrade...

[KreiderCarter]

FSUNole I would think so as well, but I just gave them the money and enjoyed it. Also crazy to give a suite that can sleep 8 to us, just 2 people.

I was called 4 days prior. Upgraded from oceanview to balcony for $400.

They started higher but came down in price when I asked if thats the best price they could offer.

We got an upsell call (1st time ever) about a week before we were to cruise on the Allure. We had an oceanview balcony and they asked us if we were willing to upgrade us to a JS for $400pp. If Royal would have offered us an aqua suite upgrade for $1,050 total more, we probably would have taken it. But $800 more for a JS, we passed on that.
