Rare finoky Posted October 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It sure took awhile but was it ever a very nice offer. We sail on Oct 28th, 8 days out of Norfolk, and originally had an ocean view on Riviera deck. The offer was to move up to a Spa balcony for $100 total for the cabin. It was a no brainer so now we are on deck 12. They also upgraded our daughter from an inside on Riviera to an inside on Lido for free. Thanks Carnival!!

Rare finoky Posted October 20, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks, I thought it was awesome. I had to ask her twice if it was $100 for the whole cabin, haha. It was nice to finally get the call and also have it be a sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMommyof3 Posted October 21, 2016 #18 Share Posted October 21, 2016 NICE!!!!! I got an upsell call on my first cruise but not since, and my next one is over Thanksgiving, which I'm sure is sold out, so not holding my breath. ENJOY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLC371 Posted October 21, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The upsell fairy has been working overtime on that cruise! We are doing the same cruise and last week we got a call as well. We went from a balcony to an ocean suite for $300. I know lots of people in both the roll call here on CC plus the group on social media that I am in have gotten calls from the upsell fairy, which is awesome considering it was a sold out cruise! The theory is that perhaps lots of people had to cancel in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, so in turn lots of rooms opened up. Doesn't really matter the reason why, I am just thrilled we got a call too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
