portofrome Posted May 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I just got an email from Hal with a very nice surprice! Moved from a lanai cabin to a Vista Suite cat. A on deck 6 on my upcoming Rotterdam cruise to Norway. It is my first upgrade with Hal and I'm so happy!! Now I have a question: being an upgdrade, will I have the double mariner points?

I believe you only get the double points if you pay for that level of room. Being upgraded doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted May 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2018 That is awesome! Congratulations! Shmoo is correct in that you won't get the suite bonus... but you sure did get a sweet bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted May 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nice upgrade. I am sure you will make good use of that balcony while cruising through the fjords. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveOKC Posted May 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2018 As mentioned, in your case, no double points. If you had booked a Vista suite and gotten an upgrade to a Neptune suite, you would get double points as your original category qualified for it.

Just made final payment last week. It varies, depending on how the cabins are selling, but normally I start watching 4-5 weeks prior to sailing.

Sorry the answer at least for us is no. We got a great upgrade to a signature suite once and that was the only perk to got and was is GREAT. We appreciated it very much and an upgrade like that, sadly it hasn't happened again. We book not expecting that to happen, so it was a surprise too.

avian777 Posted May 31, 2018 #19 Share Posted May 31, 2018 They won't call; it will come by email. ... or it might come in person!!! We actually got our first upgrade at the Check-In counter, so don't give up hope until you receive your stateroom assignment at Check-In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenevenpar Posted May 31, 2018 #21 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Oh. Hahaha! I had a vision of them coming to your door like Publishers Clearing House! And please, don't hold your breath. Just enjoy if it does happen, which is extremely rare. In 31 cruises, it has happened once (not on HAL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
