Weird question

[Wallybirds]

Has anyone ever called Carnival up the day before a cruise sailing and asked to pay for a upgrade at a discounted rate?We know the cruise we are going on has at least 105 better cabins still empty. Just wondering if this ever has come up before. Thought I might give it a try. Janet

Not at all a weird question. I say go for it!! You never know what they will do for you.

The ship's manifest must be given to Homeland security 72 hours before sailing so this is no longer possible.

She is already booked on the ship.

I wonder if that would make a difference to DHS? It still would not hurt to call and see, you never know.

Did you book a specific cabin or a Guar?

By that time all of the guarantees will have already been upgraded. Typically what will be left, if anything, will be lesser accomodations than you already have.

 

Carnival does not upgrade at the pier, and the "No Upgrades Available" sign will be in clear view at the Purser's Desk after you board.

We have booked a guaranted. Janet

You might just get a great upgrade. Again nothing is set in stone. What category guar did you book?
