smilesonfaces Posted August 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I have booked a guarantee inside cabin and wish now that I had booked a balcony. We have never sailed with Cunard before. It is only a short cruise at the end of this month. Has anyone ever been successful in upgrading once onboard ? I’m not asking for a freebie ! thank you.

Host Hattie Posted August 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Are there balconies available now ? If you really want one it would be safer to change your booking before you're onboard. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilesonfaces Posted August 14, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Thank you. Checked on the website and it is sold out so I am assuming it will be no chance ! I booked through an agent and will lose the will if I have to try and get through to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if one waits until boarding, and joining the queue, the list will be very long. The wait list may already be long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted August 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yes. Only once. I took a last minute crossing to NYC in steerage (her indoors and me always travel QG) and all that was available was an inside. On board, I paid for an upgrade. Dozens of pax had registered for a free upgrade, but we got one, they didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swjumbo Posted August 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Keep checking their website. I managed to move from Princess Grill to Queens Grill on Saturday morning at 9am having seen one cabin become available on Friday night. Paid for it though!

Gomac Posted August 15, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I also wish I’d booked a balcony for our upcoming QE cruise. Lesson learnt…. book the cabin you want at the time of booking! Any idea on the cost to upgrade onboard from an inside to a balcony if available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunard are very fair, one can upgrade for the price it would have been on the date of original booking. Complete with any benefits enjoyed.
