Great upgrade offer email today!

[musicman_L7]

Hello, after lurking for the past 9 months or so, I've finally registered.

 

My wife and are booked on our second cruise, Dec 5 2010 on the Legend. We booked our cruise through Carnival in April via Early Saver. Our fare for a 7A balcony was $539 pp. After checking routinely for price drops, I finally came to terms that we wouldn't get any OBC as the prices went up and stayed up after we booked; until today.

 

Carnival's email said to call, as upgrades were available for $40. I didn't expect much for that price. The rep told me I could move to any balcony room except aft view for $20 pp. Long story short, we have moved from a 7A obstructed view, to a 8J ext balcony for only $40 just like the email said.

 

If anyone else is getting these emails, I would suggest to act fast as the deal I got was great. $559 pp for our 8J on the Legend! Originally, I thought our $539 pp was a deal, but now we really can't wait to go.

There has been of several of those e-mails reported today. Still waiting for mine.:p

That's an awesome deal. Those extended balconies are kickass, I would prefer them to an aft room for sure. So what's with all these $40 upgrade deals today? Some new scheme?

[woodey]

Great Deal...And I hope you Post a review when you get back...Happy Sailing ;)

We had a long balcony on the Legend, could have had 20 people over for drinks, it was GREAT. I got an upgrade email today, and I have to admit I turned it down.....from a porthole to a window.....round vs, square didn't make that much difference for 50.00. Will check to see if the price went down enough for an onboard credit:o?

[Soleil09]

That's a great deal! Enjoy!

Great deal! Wish I was sailing on a ship with balcony cabins soon.

Wow, that's great. Hope we get an offer like that for our Feb cruise. I just I better start checking the email account I have registered with Carnival on a daily basis - it's basically my junk email and I hardly ever check it!

hmmm... I got in on a discounted deal through a TA (a crappy TA, it turned out) and while I got a great deal (after rebating, $499pp plus taxes for a minorly obstructed balcony room) I wish I'd booked with Carnival because I am fairly certain I won't hear from the TA letting me know I was offered an upgrade. Then again, I tend to doubt I'd have heard anything anyway - it's $200pp extra for the only available balconies on my sailing right now...

Welcome and congratualtions! It is nice to hear "good news"

[rcoaster809]

Congrats! I had an 8J on the Miracle this summer and the extra room is very nice, especially over the 7As.

This is very common, they upgrade everyone as the time gets closer if they have room available. I haven't taken one Carnival cruise that I wasn't offered and upgrade and I book OS usually. First cruise was not an OS but was upgraded to one.

I prefer the extended balcony, too! Congrats on the great deal!!
