upsell fairy with pathetic offer

Just got a call from the infamous upsell fairy on our Dec 14 Dream cruise.

Balconies were sold out but apparently had a cancellation.

Wanted $ 350 total to move us from inside to balcony on deck 9 (near where we were last year on the Dream.

Told him way to much and offered half and he kind of laughed and said bye.

I would have grabbed that sooo fast.....but I do love my balconies, and I use them ALOT!

I'm with you, I think I would have taken it, I must have a balcony now and spend a lot of time on it.

I would have been on that like shorts in the MDR. That is a damned good price.

Looking soon after at website saw that I could move my inside from deck 2 to deck 9 for total of $ 40 and grabbed that.

On recent cruises with balconies we were not on it all that much to justify 350.

Last year we upselled ourselves from inside to balcony for $ 300 and in retrospect was not worth it.

$350 total or per person? If total, I probably would have snagged that deal if I were you.

If you aren't a balcony person then it wouldn't be worth it at that price. My favorite part of the cruise is relaxing on the balcony, preferably an aft one. I spend hours out there, even on port days.

Good deal, enjoy your cruise. :)

$ 350 total. If it was 350 pp I would have been laughing at him.

Balconies are just not worth it to Tom and I. It gets too hot out there unless you have one that is shaded.

$350 is a lot - almost another cruise. I would have stayed put as well. I don't care for the balcony rooms on Carnival because of the doors and people slamming them. Peace and quiet is more important to me.

If it would have been on Celebrity where they have the sliding glass doors, then I may have considered it.

I think you made the right decision.

Am curious what my wife will think when she gets home from work later. She does spend more time than I do on the balcony.

You don't have to tell her.

I second this.

This wife would want the balcony............Happy Holidays and have a great cruise:)

For $350 total I would have taken it, but to each their own.

Uh Oh:D

Not at all concerned about her reaction. Sure we will have a great time.

Never had a balcony, and it does not bother me to not get one. I like OV or inside. I would rather have more spending money.:D

I second this.

How long is your cruise? $350 on a 5 day cruise isn't worth it, but on an 8 day trip your opinion might be different.

From what port are you departing? If it is New York or Baltimore than a balcony isn't worth it. From San Juan it is a different story.

We are balcony people. Having said that, when a balcony wasn't an option on our recent 4 day Ecstasy cruise we "survived."
