need quick advice on upsell

[b714210]

Just got an upsell call... on the Triumph 8/16. 3 of us in OV on deck 2, offered balcony on deck 9 for $290 total. (About $100 each) Should I take it? How many folks actually get their lower offer accepted?:confused:

I havent heard of them doing lower prices/bartering lately, though I used to see people say they offered less and they got back to them and they got it.

 

I could have upgraded to a balcony for $20 pp more on a 4 day Triumph and we didnt do it. The OVs are supposed to be 220 s.f. and a balcony is 185 s.f. plus 35 s.f... so the same size. Depends on if you are the type to sit outside.

I would take it, because I love the Lido deck. Let us know what you decide.

What "lower offer"? :confused:

 

I'd jump on the $290 in a heartbeat.

Offer them $150 and go from there.

Dw would say take it I would probably decline.

 

Overall we probably flip a coin.

You take the price offered or not. They move to the next person for upsells.

We are going on the Triumph the week after you and I wish they would call me. We booked through a travel agent so I don't think they will call, but I would take it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for your advice. I called back and offered $225- $75 apiece. He put me on hold to talk with his manager ;) then said $290 was the best he could do. So... $290 it is. Now, though- I look at the plan on line and it looks like it has an upper!:eek: We specifically booked, after being told it was a sofa bed. We are middle aged (closer to old) women who do not want an upper! Tomorrow, I will call back to be sure. Has anyone ever had a room configuration different than the deck plan on line? Cross your fingers for me because if I screwed this up my friends will kill me.:(

uh, o, you may be sleeping in the upper, but geesh, I wud climb in to an upper for a balcony any day...enjoy it!!

There is a recent thread on "uppers" and most agree they are quite comfy! I'm glad...since I may be the one sleeping there on my April cruise with two friends.
