airlink diva Posted June 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2013 For the first time since cruising, I got a call from the cruiseline asking me if I wanted to upgrade to a suite :eek:! I had to listen more than once at the message. I never got a call for an upgrade,esp not a suite. I left a message and waiting back. Have any other solo cruisers receive a call for an upgrade?

janetlm Posted June 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nope, I am really impressed. I would be interested to know what kind of a deal that they offer you. :rolleyes: Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtwingcpa Posted June 12, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Have any other solo cruisers receive a call for an upgrade? Yes, once. But I no longer wait for calls/emails. If I see an opportunity for an affordable upgrade, I pursue it proactively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelnap Posted June 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have gotten the update call, but never an offer to upgrade to a suite. I usually book an inside or ocean view because of the supplement so a suite upgrade would be a big jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airlink diva Posted June 12, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I booked an inside cabin for this cruise to go cheap as possible. That's why I'm shocked about the offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted June 12, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Inside to Suite! Amazing. Can't wait to hear what kind of a deal they are offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairnmom Posted June 12, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have never been offered an upgrade as a solo, but I usually upgrade myself if the prices drop close to sailing. I'm curious what deal they offered you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted June 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have never received that call, but that sure is nice! Hope it works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted June 13, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I've received free upgrades, but have never received an offer to upgrade. They just did it. The best one was on Princess. I booked an obstructed oceanview (oxymoronic!) and was upgraded to a mini-suite without a balcony. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullaRaffaello Posted June 13, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If the "upgrade" requires you to pay additional money, it is not an upgrade, but an upsell. The term upgrade when initiated by the line implies a better accommodation given for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airlink diva Posted June 14, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi everyone! Giving an update. I got back with them too late for the suite upgrade :(! I did ask about going from an inside to an outside cabin, but on the same deck that I'm on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caro1998 Posted June 15, 2013 #16 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hi I've been keeping my eye on the balcony "aft" cabin there are so often coveted for my July 8th sailing on the Victory. Looks like there are quite a few left (at least 6 from what I saw). If I called and tried to bargain with a supervisor a bit closer to sailing- do they ever go for it? Right now it is showing on the website as an additional $14.00 per day per person. Thanks, Caro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
