abb4k Posted December 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2016 We're 74 days until departure, and this morning Princess offered us an upgrade to a full suite. We've sailed a dozen times before and never experienced this. Is it a regular occurrence, does it get offered to everyone on the ship, or is it random?

It is not a regular occurrence and it does not get offered to everyone the ship. It is not random either. Someone willing to pay may want a cabin like yours (is your category sold out?) and demand for the suites isn't what it normally is. They're offering you an upsell (hopefully at a good rate) and they get to resell your old cabin. Edited December 22, 2016 by beg3yrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb4k Posted December 22, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Looks like there is only one other cabin in the category we booked that's available. And now our previous cabin... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted December 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Most upgrades used to be free. Now they make $$ off them. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is luck of the draw to get the offer. it's up to you to decide if it's worth it. I have always been curious about a suite. I would probably take it, if it was offered. Then I could decide if in the future I want to book suites. :) Congratulations! Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted December 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The pay-to-upgrade offer may be made to several passengers and the one that responds first gets it. If you are interested, call the contact phone number ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl413 Posted December 22, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 22, 2016 We took an upsell to a suite in June. It was a beautiful room, and the breakfast in Sabitinis was lovely. Sadly, we were on a deck where the suites had no decks and our level deck was used by runners early in the AM -- we complained about the CLOMPING -- but it took almost 5 days for them to do something. So -- don't take it if it's on that deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do receive an email for an upsell offer after final payment date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
