Embl Posted December 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Just wondering if it's cheaper to buy an onboard upgrade rather than purchase a higher category before you leave. Has anybody done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anybody done this? On which cruise line? They all have different policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted December 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Can’t recall a cruise that didn’t say “ship is full” if anyone asked about an upgrade once onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted December 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2017 If you want an upgrade on RCL you'll have to book it in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted December 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Make sure you change before final payment as rci Australia won’t allow changes after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not happen on Princess to my knowledge, the deal has to be done pre embarkation. :') I got sort of an upgrade this morning on the phone to Princess, there was a price drop on my Royal Princess cruise next June, so I managed to trade in our balcony cabin for a mini suite at the original balcony price, plus they threw in a bit more obc and 3 for free promo. No complain. Edited December 18, 2017 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted December 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The price on our next cruise seems to just be going up, up and up. And mini suits and above are goneski, and balconies are getting in short supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted December 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Great result Uncle Les. Cheers mate, as the old saying goes 'Never look a Gift Horse in the Mouth.' I check Princess prices weekly for cruises we are booked on and scored a goal today. Does not happen often.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not happen often.;) I check weekly too, upto the time I know they won’t drop the price I’ve paid or up the perks. Last Christmas saved about $700 and grabbed about $300 extra OBC, not too shabby on a 7 night cruise.did I’ve up a steakhouse visit and a bottle of vinegar (sorry I mean cheap plonk).
