For now.....

I just got a call from the "real" upgrade fairy. I was booked solo in a 1A porthole at a great price (no single supplement) leaving tomorrow on the Victory for 5 night. Just got a phone call asking me if I would like a FREE upgrade to a Deck 8 balcony. I said absolutely!!! and about dropped the phone. ]

 

Awesome. Can I ask how far out you got the call? ie, how many days before your cruise? Just curious when they make those sorts of calls...

 

We have 46 days until our cruise to the Southern Caribbean!!!

Can't Wait!

 

I'm leaving today and they called yesterday afternoon.

Probably got a cabin that some smoker who didn't read past "smoking on balconies prohibited" canceled because he thought it started immediately. :)

This will be my 18th Carnival cruise and I've had upsell calls/emails before but never a free upgrade. The upgrade fairy is still alive and well.

 

Sorry I had to brag a little

 

 

That is totally awesome!

So nice to hear about someone getting an actual, bonafide upgrade! (Not an upsell)

Yay for you - have a wonderful time!

That's about as incredible as the FREE cruises CCL has been handing out to some lucky folks. Enjoy your balcony.....it is a far cry from a 1A porthole...woo hoo!

Would someone please send that upgrade fairy in my general direction???:D

[Cruise-Crazy]

Nice!! Always like the balcony :D

 

Got upgraded from inside to balcony on my last cruise but I had to call them.

Gotta watch those price drops. Even ended up with some OBC in that deal.

[Kevin_Mac]

Congrats! She does still exist!! She's called me on 2 of the last 3 sailings we've done. Once from a porthole to an ocean view, the other was from interior to an ocean view.

I got a call the other day for an upgrade to a grand suite from a grand scenic ocean view for a cool $850. I opted to stay put.

Not to worry you have the right to brag! :D Congratz!!

 

What gives me hope is that we have a PT 1A cabin booked for 12/1, out of Jax and it will be out 20th Carnival cruise.

 

I noticed that you are from St. Augustine. I use to be in the Finance unit at the FNG Armory in St. Augustine.

 

Enjoy your cruise! John
