Rare GetToLivin Posted September 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I can't believe it -- I booked a Jr. Suite GTY and just logged in to see we received the Grand Balcony Suite on deck 10! I don't even know what this is but it's bigger and I'm excited :') We are celebrating our one year wedding anniversary on this cruise so this just makes it that much more special!

Clarea Posted September 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Excellent outcome! Only one downside comes to mind ... you may be spoiled and will require a GS from now on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofmyheart Posted September 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2017 How far out do you get a msg from the upgrade fairy? Never cruised RCCL before. Once on HAL I got a call while sitting on a layover at airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once on HAL I got a call while sitting on a layover at airport. Technically what the OP experienced was not an upgrade. The OP had a guarantee booking and received one step up from the minimum. Still an excellent outcome, but not due to what is commonly referred to here on CC as the Upgrade Fairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh oops, I thought anything above what you booked was an "upgrade fairy" situation, sorry ;) OfMyHeart: We sail in 30 days, and today the reservation reflected the new room.

And I have seen this samesituation called the an upgrade many times :D Enjoy your wonderful, bigger, room with lounge access Thank you! So we will still get the perks of a GS? I wasn't sure as I had read that in these situations you don't necessarily have concierge service, etc, since you didn't pay for the "full cost" of the room. Does anyone know? Honestly, I'd just like to have access to the roped-off section of the pool-deck ;p Edited September 14, 2017 by GetToLivin Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted September 14, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 14, 2017 How far out do you get a msg from the upgrade fairy? There's no message - you have to keep checking your booking for the cabin assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got al of hte lovely onboard perks. The only thing we did not get was double points; since we had not paid for the upgrade. You paid for a category which normally gets double points, so you'll get those too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsky Posted September 14, 2017 #16 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Years ago, we were upgraded to a balcony. Now will never cruise unless we have one. Congrats! Seems like those don't happen as much as they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on the upgrade, regardless of whether it was brought to you by revenues or anyone else...its still fantastic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
