Mardi Gras 1/22…upgrade fairy just called

[sbestmann]

Offered me an Ocean Suite for $278…we took it. Woot.

Congratulations, we are on the same sailing.

What were you originally booked into?

[IntrepidFromDC]

See you on the ship!

[tallnthensome]

Probably because the large amount of cancelations.

Got offered an upgrade too, but we have balcony cabin next to family. Darn family!😆

Glad you could take advantage of it.

Definitely cancellations.

 

In the last week, I got an upgrade on my upcoming Mardi Gras (Balcony to Ocean Suite), and I have a Guaranteed Balcony Cabin for an April Panama Canal cruise that just got assigned a balcony cabin (which is great because I now don’t have stress about ending up with an obstructed balcony for a long cruise!).

How does one get upgraded? Do they call or send a email or do you have to request? Also can you ask for a upgrade while on the ship? We have a terrible interior cabin in the front of the ship currently.

Upgrades are seemingly plentiful right now. I just got back from a sailing last week that claimed 2k cancellations. I don't know if I fully believe that number. However, there were about that many people less than full capacity. It's a way for the cruise line to get more money for simply shifting you to a new room. Everyone wins. Enjoy!

They will call, send an email or it will appear in the To Do list of your cruise manager.  The 2 times that I've been offered an upgrade were through an email offer.

Saw ours on cruise manager page, upgrade was for a fee.

I got a call two days before our cruise and saw the 305 area code.  It was Carnival offering a Spa Suite for $350.  We had a Spa balcony booked and thought "why not".  Loved it!

Di you get offered an upgrade again if you say no the first time? We were offered an upgrade last week but we felt the price was a bit high so we said no.

Family can walk off the extra pizza if they were really desperate to visit my upgraded suite! I would move and be like sorry folks🤣

At that price there is no deliberation.
