Wildgrits Posted September 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I noticed my cruise went down $100 so I called Priceline to see if I could get an OBC or something. I was a guarenteed balcony to start. So the lady at priceline put me on hold and called Carnival. When she came back she said they had me slotted for a 8J but could upgrade me to a 8K. This is my second criuse so to me this is greek. Can anyone tell me if it is worth making the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbaby Posted September 4, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2011 When she came back she said they had me slotted for a 8J but could upgrade me to a 8K. 8K is an extended balcony. I would go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted September 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2011 what category price are you comparing? what cabin does YOUR online documents tell you that you have? If you booked a guarantee- and that is the price you are comparing it to if you take the 100.00 you are now put back on the list for guarantee and lose your placement. You could wind up with a obstructed balcony. Check yur documents- if your agent says you are in a 8J or 8K shouldnt it show up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildgrits Posted September 4, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I booked a Guar Balcony. The price is less than what i paid by $100. My cruise is so soon that i cannot get the $100 as OBC. They said they could upgrade me to a 8K. She said that I was on the list for a 8J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildgrits Posted September 4, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted September 4, 2011 serene56 I see what you are talking about now. On my cruise details page it says I am in room 6224. It is listed as a 8J. The lady at Priceline said they could put me at a 8K on the 7th Verandah deck. Is there really any difference? They are both extended views. I knew I didn't want the 8th deck as it is right under the Lido deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted September 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2011 For now. 6224 is Good. Extended balcony. No across the hall neighbor. Moving up a deck will be the same area puts you closer to food/pools but you take the change of having neighbors across the hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scchasgal Posted September 4, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I noticed my cruise went down $100 so I called xxxxx to see if I could get an OBC or something. I was a guarenteed balcony to start. So the lady at xxxxxx put me on hold and called Carnival. When she came back she said they had me slotted for a 8J but could upgrade me to a 8K. This is my second criuse so to me this is greek. Can anyone tell me if it is worth making the switch? Guarantees will not get OBC only early saver rates. Take the 8K you won't regret it. PS you can't mention specific travel agencies on these boards, have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
