hapytobehr Posted November 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2022 After sailing on Carnival for over 17 years, I received my first upsell/upgrade call yesterday. We are sailing NYE on the Celebration and had an inside cabin (because it was really really cheap) and for $150 pp we were offered a balcony. YAY!! I immediately said yes and made my DH very happy! 28 more days....but who's counting?? 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouche Posted November 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I got the call and missed it for our Mardi Gras sailing last month, heard it on voice mail two weeks after we got back. I never keep up with my voice mail and do not answer unknown numbers, I may need to change that.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haehaehaley Posted November 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I got a call yesterday for my cruise on Saturday from the upgrade fairy. It was waaaay too expensive but I was also happy to know they exist and they called me haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic101680 Posted November 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I didn't get a call, but I noticed an upgrade offer available to me when I was reviewing some info for an upcoming cruise. $40 from the cheapest and smallest interior room on the ship that barely sleeps 2 (can't complain - it was a freebie where I was just paying the port fees and taxes to go solo anyway) to go to a much larger interior room on a more desirable deck in a much more desirable location. It pays to check to see if an upgrade button is available when looking at the Booking and Order Details page 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other posters on CC have seen their upsell off there as well. Been cruising since ‘95, and never once got a upsell call/email, etc. If we don’t get an offer, my feelings won’t be hurt. (I think 🙃 🙂 😂) Happy for all those who received an offer that was worth the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen22 Posted November 30, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Sailing on the Celebration January 3. I keep checking for offers to upgrade, but none so far. Thinking it's not going to happen this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last cruise I was finally going to try an interior cabin by the called and offered me upgrades for both for less than $100. I was like yes yes yes, I’ll take it.

Rare MistyRo76 Posted December 1, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I got the call once - but we had a large group with our cabins all near each other, so I declined to stay near the rest of our group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opensaysme Posted December 3, 2022 #13 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Congratulations! That’s a great deal! I have to say, for me, having only ever sailed in a cove balcony, I’ve gotten the “upgrade” fairy every single time and I have not taken the offer once because if I would have wanted a regular balcony I would have booked a regular balcony 😂. That’s not an upgrade for me. I love the cove. But that’s all I’m ever offered and my guess is because the cove balconies start selling out.

ZoeyVictoria Posted December 7, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I found an upgrade offer this morning - $287 to move from an inside to an OV on deck 2 on the Magic for six nights. I must be on their list of stupid guests ☹️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted December 7, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 7, 2022 We booked a discounted interior. We will entertain upgrades if offered. Otherwise, we are not in our room that much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camijo Posted December 7, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I'm cruising on the Breeze in February and received the upgrade/upsell offer. My friend and I booked in inside interior (box room) with the CHEERS rate code. I wanted a balcony, she wanted the CHEERS rate code, so I said okay. First we received an upsell to a balcony for $80, we took (got to keep the CHEERS rate code). Win, win.. I get my balcony, she gets to keep CHEERS. About 3 weeks, I received another upsell. This time for $100 to go a spa balcony of course I took it. So now we have spa amenities with CHEERS.. I'm excited! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are upsell offers where you can pay for a different stateroom. It has to do with needing your assigned stateroom to be resold or to upsell you to a slow moving category.

That is awesome - we are on that cruise too and have a balcony - we were thinking of maybe trying to grab an inside for the kids but when i looked online you couldn't even see the cruise (which made me think it was sold out). I may have to call to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2tcdx2 Posted December 8, 2022 #22 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Congrats, I didn't think our offers for February to move up were all that great. Though I feel like once we decline an offer we don't get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
