suzycruise Posted July 18, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I am sailing on the GLORY on 7/31/04. Would like to know if anyone has had the experience to upgrade at the pier and if so, how much do they charge? We are booked in CAT 8A and would like to upgrade to a CAT 11 Suite. I'll check with my TA on Monday but I have heard it is cheaper to upgrade at the pier than to do so with the TA. Any info is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEICE Posted July 18, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I was also wondering if you could upgrade at the pier. Would anybody have the pricelist for a pier upgrade??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted July 18, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2004 It's my understanding that pier upgrades are rare. The purser's desk has a sign that usually reads: "No cabins available". As far as the cost - IF there should be availability in your choice of category, the difference would be what the normal rate would be. No discounts, even at last minute.

roscoesdream Posted July 18, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I think the above post is correct! If you want to upgrade do it now!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted July 18, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Remember, all ships are sailing at about 97-103% of capacity. I think your best bet is about 30-45 days prior to sailing and through your TA. The closer to sailing the less availability and prices often go up.

sls Posted July 18, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2004 From reading about all the "Free" upgrades on the board is sounds like Carnival doesn't save any of the suites but has the upgrade fairy give them out to lucky cruisers. sls Liberty 10/24/05 Destiny 12/04 Sensation 5/04 Holiday 1/04 Conquest 11/03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted July 18, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Royal Caribbean upgrades at the pier for a fee. Tow different cruise lines. I have never heard Carnival upgrading at the pier for a price. (although you can ask) If you want a suite upgrade now before you go- that way-no disappointments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChardonnayKJ Posted July 19, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Cotton is right. At this time of year it would be rare to get a upgrade on sail date. too many people sail at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
