bfkkbc Posted October 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I know this is a long shot, but I wanted to ask so please don't flame me!!! What are the chances of asking at port before you embark if your cabin can be upgrade? Booked a GTY cabin and am truely happy with where we are but just wanted to know the answer just incase my husband gets a "wild hair"!!!:p Thanks Frances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoug Posted October 4, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I don't think that you can purchase upgrades at the pier with Carnival. That's the "other guys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike&Karren Posted October 4, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Any time we've ever asked about upgrades at the pier, we've always been told the ship is sold out. And yes we've been some of the 1st ones in line. But you can always ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you do have to ask, this board can get quite volatile at times, but I would not think this question would be in that mix. I wish I knew the answer to your question. I would love to have an upgrade, but like I have said a lot of times, it is not going to happen for us. But, I do hope it happens to you. Have a wonderful cruise.

Wild Bill Posted October 4, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We have asked before, but always told none were available, and yes, it was with RCCL, but I have heard of some people getting lucky! Maybe you are one of those people. It never hurts to ask.:) Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Posted October 4, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2007 What if you asked about paying to upgrade? It often seems their pat answer is "we're full" when it seems that the ship is nowhere near capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherylandtk Posted October 4, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2007 On Carnival, the chances of asking are 100%, but the chances of them saying yes are less than 0.1%. All upgrades are assigned prior to the cruise, mostly to GTY bookings. Since you booked GTY, if an upgrade is available, it could be assigned to you when you arrive at the pier, but generally that is not because you asked; its because the upgrade fairy loves you this week. If you decide to purchase an upgrade, it won't be at a reduced price as can sometimes be done on other lines, and it usually is not available at the pier. And the longer you wait the less your chances of something being available to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
