isdoo Posted December 5, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I read on another post that RCI were no longer offering pier upgrades and Platinum Puls members were being given the suites as a freebie. Can anyone confirm this? Reason I ask is that I am looking a cruise and thinking of gambling on going for a Junior Suite, but hoping to get an upgrade to a Grand or Owners Suite on arrival. Thanks.

setsail Posted December 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2004 If you want a certain type of cabin then you should book it, period. There are a lot of threads on here about guarentes and upgrades and a lot of these cruisers are upset over the cabin they got. Then after you get to the ship ask if you want something better. They will know after 1 day what is open if you want to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillfrantic Posted December 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I would never gamble with the cabin I wanted.....I would book and pay for the cabin I wanted to make my trip wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyco Posted December 5, 2004 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Ownersuite did not say at what level this may happen at. Diamond Plus is a very large level, my guess would be the last group Diamond Plus Starts after 24 completed cruise credits Extra Diamond Plus benefits available after the 49th completed cruise credit Special benefit available to those valued members who reach their 100th cruise credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benita Posted December 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2004 They are very interested in pleasing the Diamond Plus members. As a lowly Diamond member who had sustained a recent broken ankle and was wheelchair bound, I had to jump throught hoops to downgrade to their E3 handicapped balcony cabin. I offered to pay whatever was necessary to get any handicapped cabin and finally was given one the day before the cruise. They used both junior suite handicapped cabins as free upgrades at the pier to healthy Diamond Plus members. Not a way to entice me to cruise the two more times necessary for that status. I'm switching to Princess for the next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggin Posted December 5, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Back to the original question......is it true that you cannot try at the pier any longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted December 5, 2004 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Anyone gullible enough to believe anything posted by Seymour is bound for complete and total disappointment. Ownersuite, is a long time disturber of the peace, fyi!:D This is NOT JMHO!:D jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isdoo Posted December 5, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Okay - so maybe I have a chance :D Mind you with the concierge lounge banning half my suites occupants from it, then maybe I am better off with a Jr suite :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bru92 Posted December 6, 2004 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Back to the original question......is it true that you cannot try at the pier any longer? Last month on the Brilliance, we inquired at check-in about an upgrade. We were sent to another desk where they quoted a price for each upgrade available. They were very willing to take our charge card! Mike in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel_f99 Posted December 6, 2004 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2004 The concierge lounge banned half of your guests? Can you explain this statement please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isdoo Posted December 6, 2004 Author #11 Share Posted December 6, 2004 What I mean is that half my occupants and paying for the suite are children - they are apparently banned, so it means the adults can't enjoy the facility either :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
