cooler Posted May 31, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2012 At work today and missed a call that I thought was from my PVP, so I called her back and it was not her that called me! I asked her what the chances are that it was an upgrade call, she said it was possible but kind of doubted it being just 4 days out from sailing. So I chalked it up to being a courtesy call about sailing next Monday. No big deal on missing that call. Then about an hour later I get another call from Carnival!!! I was lucky enough to be able to answer this second call. But thought to myself just a call back on the courtesy call. NO!!!! Upsell pitch due to our Anniversary that I listed under our booking of "special occasion" your celebrating while on this cruise. (Maybe that's one way to get the call???) Offered me to go from a 4C interior to a 8C balcony for $206.00. I told him I only had $100.00 to spend (was tempted to take the first offer but thanks to these forums I have learned better.) He asked me to hold and came back and said he has been "authorized" to let me have it for $125.00 TOTAL for both of us so I bit. I am still in shock that I got a second call back from them but even happier with our first balcony!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomba13 Posted June 1, 2012 #21 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Congrats on your upgrade. Where did you find the "special occasion" section on the website? I looked but could not find it. You need to add it when you have a booking. You will see all the travelers listed and then you can add info regarding their medical info, B-days, honeymoon and anniversary date.
