joybaby Posted September 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Sailing tomorrow on the Divina. There are balconies still available. Is there any chance for an upgrade (or perhaps an upsell) when I get there and how do I go about it? Mike - I am picking you brain. I won't hold you to anything! :) Joybaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't hold you to anything! :) Joybaby Our cousins were offered an opportunity, before we sailed, to upgrade to the Yacht Club for $900.00, but I haven't heard of anyone ever doing this once they've arrived at The POM, though. The check-in agents don't work for MSC so I'm not sure if they would have the ability to offer an upgrade, but it sure wouldn't hurt to at least inquire about it.:D Edited September 12, 2014 by Mikesa1721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joybaby Posted September 12, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yes, I have cruised 3 times bef. I was upgraded, just a sm. one. I am not complaining, but they have balconies open, and if I am a prev. cruiser, I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybaby Posted September 12, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted September 12, 2014 PS we did do the alcohol package. We have always done that. I will let you know. All is good, I am going on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy,,,I would try to do what Riclop suggested and go to guest services and see if they may be able to upgrade your room. On our sailing in August,,I know of 3 YC1 staterooms that were empty, there may have even been more. I would have figured MSC would have given someone a nice discount just to fill them,,but they just went unoccupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's each, so that wouldn't work out for you, that is their policy that both people in the cabin need to purchase it, and in fact, all people in your party if you have linked reservations. Of course it is to stop people only buying one and sharing it with everyone.........pity there is so much dishonesty......oh well....RCCL lets only one person in the cabin buy the package....but Celebrity doesn't....and they are the same line.....

joybaby Posted September 21, 2014 Author #16 Share Posted September 21, 2014 No upgrade. I checked w/ guest serv. as soon as I got on - Sept.13. They said they were full, not true, they had 3600 px. Guess it would drive them crazy if they accommodated everyone. Wonderful cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it would drive them crazy if they accommodated everyone.Wonderful cruise. I have read that Divina carries 3,502 passenger based on double occupancy (4,363 full capacity). So if there weren't a bunch of 3rd and 4th passengers or they had empty inside cabins only, the better cabins than yours may have been "full" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an afternoon nap daily in the dark. Something that I never do at home. We had a wonderful time. This was my 3rd MSC cruise and third ship. Love this line.

Would love to know if you were able to upgrade your stateroom.:) Nada. I only asked, they said NO. Our friends asked and they offered them an upsell of $1050 for the Yacht Club. :D We had a great time. Are you following the Bermuda thread???

I think I mentioned before about our cousins being offered a Yacht Club suite for 900.00 before our sailing as well. Good to know you had a great time though!!! I'll be checking in on the Bermuda thread soon,,,been busy researching and planning our repo in October 2015.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
