sunshower9 Posted September 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This is only my 2nd cruise, btw. I had booked an interior, but she offered me a Havana aft extended balcony for $650. Considering that it would've cost me more than $2000 extra to book it at regular price, I took it. I had just purchased some gift cards from Allstate this weekend at 10% off, so I used those to pay for it. Here's the funny part. Yesterday hubby and I had Chinese food, and the fortune in my fortune cookie said "You will soon be receiving a phone call with exciting news." No joke. When I read it I thought to myself that it would be awesome if that call came from Carnival with an upgrade offer. When I got the call, I googled the number real quick since I was at the computer. I couldn't believe it was Carnival and that my fortune actually came true! Now I'm even more excited for this trip!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaz Posted September 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Sorry, I was so excited that I left out the details. Vista leaving on 9/23. I still can't get over it...lol. :) Ooooh, I think that's the sailing right before ours.....and we're booked in a Lido interior. I'll have to tell my friend John (who booked the cruise this time) NOT to ignore any long-distance calls from Florida. 305 area code, I think. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkIVette Posted September 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Here's the funny part. Yesterday hubby and I had Chinese food, and the fortune in my fortune cookie said "You will soon be receiving a phone call with exciting news." No joke. What Luck! You must have a horse shoe up your ..........opps, enough said. Except, don't those fortures have your lucky numbers on the other side. I suggest, when you get on the ship, go straight to the Roulette wheel and put a $100 on each number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froufie Posted September 19, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Congrats on the fabulous upsell! My fave fortune cookie story is many many years ago when my hubby and I were trying to conceive and were in the 'waiting period' - we went out for chinese food - after dinner he opened his fortune cookie and it said 'she will have a very fine boy'!! I KID YOU NOT! I saved that little slip of paper and it did in factcome true...it is now displayed in my oldest son's' 'memory shadow box' along with a pic of his ultrasound and baby hospital ID bracelet (he is 31 now by the way LOL).....

ibcnusoon Posted September 19, 2017 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Great upsell! We received a call about 6 years ago from the upsell fairy. We went from an regular interior to regular balcony for $200. Ever since then, we've booked balconies! We love the aft-extended and we are so spoiled now!

jordanaire Posted September 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted September 19, 2017 So cool!!! Good for you! We've sailed with Carnival 21 times and have NEVER been offered an upgrade. And most of our cabins have been regular inside cabins. Who knows? Maybe someday. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyjoy202697 Posted September 20, 2017 #24 Share Posted September 20, 2017 So I got a call today and declined. $390 for an upgrade from my inside room to Jr Suite on the Imagination. It's only a 4 day so I didn't think it was worth it. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
