Pookill17 Posted March 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I originally booked the Getaway for May 1-8 through a Caesars certificate. I paid $300 total to upgrade us to a balcony from a free inside. With taxes, insurance UBP gratuities it still was a cheap vacation. Since this is our first cruise without kids I really wanted to treat us to a Haven Suite. I pulled the trigger today and upgraded to a Haven Aft Penthouse for $750 pp! I know I could have waited and maybe gotten a better deal but I didn't want to risk losing the room I wanted on deck 10. It's going to be a long month waiting! Any input on these rooms and how to make the most of the experience would be more than welcome.

We were on BA in an Aft suite on 12 and the balcony space is fantastic. You're on deck 10 so it will be smaller than deck 12. I think the size from largest to smallest is 9, 12, 11, 10, 14, 13. Here are some pics from deck 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookill17 Posted March 29, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for the pics. It looks amazing. I'm ok with a smaller balcony but looking forward to being spoiled! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS_Travel Posted March 30, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thanks for this info! We're on the May 15th sailing and upsell didn't have anything available yesterday when I called. I'll try again next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try again next week! Good luck! They actually offered me most Haven types for $750 and one for $1250. My heart was set on the Aft Penthouse. I can't wait!

Swrcracer Posted March 30, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Did you call the upsell dept. or did they contact you about this upgrade... Edited March 30, 2016 by Swrcracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookill17 Posted March 30, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Did you call the upsell dept. or did they contact you about this upgrade... I called them. They answered right away and gave me the offers in a couple of minutes. I received my confirmation email within minutes also. Great experience.

trestar21 Posted March 31, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What's the upsell number, and how far in advance should you call? I am on a Escape sailing in late September. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookill17 Posted March 31, 2016 Author #19 Share Posted March 31, 2016 800-625-4309. I called 32 days out. The closer to you sailing the better the deals I believe. It looks to be a hit or miss situation sometimes. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeadip Posted March 31, 2016 #20 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Here is a great idea...seriously...why stop there? i mean with the fantastic upsell you just did..? i would call 10 days prior to sailing and inquire about a deluxe owner suite if there are any left...you may be able to snag one for an additional $250/pp... 10 days seems to be the magic number when it comes to shuffling high value inventory... best of luck...you have already done a great job at securing a memorable vacation...be sure to take advantage of all the "unadvertised" perks that come along with such a great address on the ship.

joeski27 Posted March 31, 2016 #22 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks for this info! We're on the May 15th sailing and upsell didn't have anything available yesterday when I called. I'll try again next week! So wait, what "upsell" did you call? Did you just call NCL and ask about upsell options for your sailing? We might be interested in something like this if the price was right, but I never knew of any method other than just paying the upgrade difference. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked if they had any upsells for my reservation number. From what I'm finding on here, mostly suites are available early on. Ocean view, balconies and mini suites seem to be available closer to sailing date. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
