Not yet...but am trying to be hopeful. For our next cruise I booked a suite guarantee (there are over 20 GS and CL available). So far I have been assigned a JS. This will be very disappointing indeed if I don't get upgraded. On a previous cruise there were several owner suites available and I was in a GS. Well, while onboard I met the people who did get upgraded to those suites. It was a travel agent and all his friends (several cabins). He told me he gets upgraded all the time. So, I guess it is who you know...maybe I should have taken down his phone number! :)

Maybe somewhere between 6 and 8. There are some Pinnacle Club members that have had more.....when they were D+.

 

All of ours were when we were D+. We have received none as PC members, but, in all honesty, knowing that there were better cabins to be had back in 2009, we booked balconies, knowing that we would be upgraded to a suite.

 

Since we are suite people..........we simply book what we want today, and don't worry about an upgade.

 

I must say that the game was fun.......while it lasted, and we played to win. The best one was the ATH run, where my DW received an OS for all three legs.........I was fortunate enough to enjoy the last leg with her.

 

Times have changed, and so has Royal Caribbeans marketing system.

 

Unless we see an opportunity that we know is a slam dunk......we just book what we want, and hope that someone, not as fortunate, will find the upgrade fairy ringing their phone!!;)

The main indicator is NOT D+ status, but D+ status on an undersold cruise.

 

I think that if those who piped up that they have been upgraded multiple times were asked the dates of those cruises, they would be in the "low" seasons of cruise travel.

Absolutely correct in our case as well. Our 2 upgrades were in mid-September and early May. (We're D+)

Twice in December 2010 (one each sailing of a B2B) This was our First D+ upgrade and we were at 47 CREDITS!

Once again on the Allure on Jananry 2011 .

 

Sailed the Freedom in May 2011 with almost 400 points and no upgrade.

 

I will add that through out the years we've had many aft or corner aft balcony cabins and we noted "do not upgrade" on our reservations.

Would an upgrade from a balcony to a JS on Jewel to the Southern Caribbean for 10 nights in January be one of those? :D:D:D

Not yet...but I'm still hoping the upgrade fairy might cross my path for my Monarch cruise...there are still a BUNCH of JS available...with just over 4 weeks to go...at the least I'm "hoping" they might run a good sale and I could upgrade myself...:)

You hit the nail on the head with that one.
