Journey - Upgraded to Balcony from Inside and got money back

[cujosmom]

On the Journey South America Nov 29, 2007 cruise I just got a BALCONY cabin (2A) for $9 p.p. LESS than the Cat 10 INSIDE price I was booked in. WooHoo :D

That's like winning the lottery .... an inside to a balcony and enough money left over to have a drink to celebrate :) Congratulations!

Tell us OP, did you book directly with the ship and then watch for reductions, or did a TA catch it for you.

GOOD FOR YOU AND MEEE TOO.. except we were on an oceanview... now we're in a deluxe veranda and we got back over 900 dollars! wooo hooo! This is our first veranda... :D

 

I caught it on CRUISE CRITIC. A member posted that the rates had reduced significantly, i called my TA and she took care of the rest! We're so happy. I'm going to continue to look for reduced rates though.. ya never know! ;)

I get email specials from an online travel agency. The price they were advertising was for a balcony including air and the price was basically the same as what I had for an inside with air. I called Celebrity (booked direct - not through a TA) and they said they had the same promotion so they switched me to a 2A balcony and final payment is $18 less than what we were to pay.

 

The weird thing is I am always checking for price reductions on my current booking category and there was no change (for the inside)....the special was for balcony cabins with reduced air.

The original Journey prices were absurdly high and are now returning to more realistic levels.
