First Upgrade Fairy Call Ever!

[ourcruiseyears]

After all these years, finally our first upgrade fairy call today! We sail on Pride from Tampa on Sunday. Left early today to start a mini vacation. Cell phone rings and I see the call is from Florida. Could it be!? Figured it was most likely about a refund issue we have with them right now. Lo and behold, it was the upgrade fairy! We were offered an 8K extended balcony for what a 4D interior stateroom was going for today. We happened to bring an extra $500 Carnival gift card with us so you bet we whipped that out and jumped all over it! So excited, I could not wait to come share our good news!

Sounds like a terrific deal. But I thought an upgrade is when it's complimentary and an upsell when you pay.

That's not the upgrade fairy. Upgrade fairies don't ask for money ;) This is the upsell fairy.

Whether upgrade or upsell, it sounds like fairy dust to me! How much extra did you pay to move? Send pics of the extended balcony! :D

Sounds like a great deal! I love those extended balconies. Have fun on your cruise.

Nice! Why didn't they call me????

 

See you at the M&G.

Obviously I'm still a "newbie" here (or ditzy...or both! Haha!). Yes, a call from the "upsell fairy" it was! :)

 

We moved from a 4D interior to the 8K extended balcony for $300 more.

 

See you fellow Pride cruisers tomorrow!

Hope this cruise is the best cruise ever! Please post pics of the extended balcony!

I was offered an upgrade from an interior to a 6C Oceanview for just $70. The regular price would be a couple hundreds. Even though we had to pay the $70, I consider it an upgrade because of the savings (an upgrade for only $70).

 

This was one room 4 people and the price is covers everyone.

Friday was offered upgrade from OV to 8C balcony for $275. 7 day. 2 persons. Went for the offer, nice way to start 2017.

Congrats to you! Have an amazing time on your cruise!!

Not sure why people feel the need to correct from upgrade to up sell. But then I'm also confused when someone feels the need to correct a grammar error on here like you're vs your.

 

Congrats on upgrading your room.

You're vs. your is a spelling error and not a grammar error.

Maybe because accuracy should count on some things in life.
