PCruzer Posted August 14, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Has anyone ever received a complimentary cabin upgrade on a GCT river cruise? Were you informed about the upgrade prior to departure or did you find out once you arrived at your destination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they even did upgrades on river cruises. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCruzer Posted August 15, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 15, 2009 We've only done 1 river cruise, which was last fall on GCT. We overheard a number of people saying that they were upgraded from their original cabin selections. We were curious to know if you are lucky enough to get an upgrade, when do you find out.

JerseyGem Posted August 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2009 You might be lucky. You won't find out until you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare franski Posted August 15, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2009 When we booked with AMA - tried for a Cat C. We were told they were sold out, but would give us Cat B at the same price. If a C becomes available, they will put us in one. I consider that an "upgrade" (although we really won't know until we board...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjtraveler Posted August 15, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2009 As a returning customer with Uniworld, we get an upgrade when we book as long as one is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Granny Posted August 15, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2009 On the GCT last March on the Danube, several people were upgraded but they had all gone on at least 10 trips with GCT. They seem to reward loyal customers. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCruzer Posted August 15, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted August 15, 2009 They seem to reward loyal customers. Barbara As it should be!! We are also very loyal Holland America cruisers. From what I understand, HAL likes to upgrade their newer cruise clientele. I guess they feel that if you have done 30+ cruises with them, you are probably going to return. On the other hand, a new cruiser might jump to any other cruise line. We have gotten very few upgrades on HAL, even when booking guarantees.

tiggypooo Posted August 15, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 15, 2009 That's very bad on their part. Sure doesn't foster any loyalty........ If they have the room, especially the large cruiselines, they should do an upgrade. Princess is very good for the upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
