I kept reading about this here, and watching my bookings (I think if you have more than one, you have to go into the planner for each one).  In exactly 20 Carnival cruises, we've never received an upsell, upgrade, offer, nothing (I personally think it's because we usually have 3 ppl in our cabin and that's harder to accommodate).  But anyway...

Finally! today I saw it, "Exclusive upgrade offer available on this booking".  We have an extended aft balcony booked, so I was so curious to see what it would be... Clicked on the offer...This offer is no longer available".  Talk about huge disappointment! 😄 Oh well....maybe next time.  

Congrats on your offers/deals, it looks they are sending them out frequently now.

Keep checking multiple times a day....that's how I got our upgrade on the last cruise!!

I have a 4k interior booked for my next Carnival cruise. My rate was very low. I wouldn't be surprised if an offer were made as my date approaches.

Is it a connecting or across from a suite? Those locations are more likely.  It is not the price point you booked.  It is what they need it for and what they can resell it for to another guest whose situation requires a specific stateroom set

No but it does have a 4 person cabin on one side non connecting. My promo was $30 pp for an inside for 7 nights on Legend. I booked the 4k for just a little more because if I don't get an upsell I still have some natural light.

While there is alway a possibility that that 4 person room will need/want an adjourning room for children, your price point paid has no influence.  It is always location.

About how far ahead of your cruise do you see these offers?

 

In my case, the offer came 2 months prior to cruise date.
