Upsell Fairy Visited Us

Direct with HAL. Sorry for misspelling.

I've been out of town, so just getting back to my original post. Someone asked what we paid for the upgrade to a Neptune Suite and it was only $199 per person. See why we couldn't pass it up? Cheap, cheap, cheap. I received the email on Nov. 7th in the morning and as I said, had the upgrade booked within 15 minutes. I didn't want to wait and possibly lose it. I also went to the HAL website later in the day and saw that the suites were sold out. When I talked to the HAL rep on the phone, I told her we would prefer a Neptune Suite more forward and she said it was my lucky day because there was one left.

 

I booked directly through HAL because it is a VIP casino cruise and we had to book directly. Normally, I just go online and book our cruises without talking to anyone. We have been upgraded on Carnival without going through them, so I think it's a crap shoot regarding who receives upgrades/upsells and who does not. Maybe it doesn't really matter how you book.
