I have been on 36 Carnival cruises and the upsell fairy has only contacted me twice. I declined both times. Last summer I booked an oceanview guarantee on the Fascination and received a balcony.

JillySue Posted January 5, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2015 We got an upsell offer on both of our cruises-- took one of them. They were our first 2, both in October-pseudo b2b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted January 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have been on 25 cruises. Most with Carnival but also other lines. I haven't ever had an upsell call or e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcjeep4life Posted January 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I had an upsell call my first cruise, nothing since. Don't hear about too many people just getting upgraded without paying for the privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted January 5, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2015 First Carnival cruise was September 2011. We leave next month on cruise # 9 with #10 already booked. That will be 10 cruises in 4 years. All except the first cruise are balcony staterooms. No call for upgrades or upsells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted January 5, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Just booked #18 and got the call only once. Turned it down as it was not a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stobe1 Posted January 5, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have never had an upsell call nor I have ever had a complimentary upgrade. I hear it happens, but it seems to be a elusive as bigfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melonhead Posted January 5, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I wonder if it has to do with how you book or when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILCruzr Posted January 5, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2015 we got the call on our last cruise on the Victory..bumped from Balcony to Grand Suite..it was nice! Second time in the Grand Suite too :) The calls do happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted January 5, 2015 #15 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Got an upsale email, but the cabins weren't in a desirable area. I still cruise for warm chocolate melting cake (with two sugar free vanilla ice creams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hftmrock Posted January 5, 2015 #16 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Upsell comes usually between the 1st cruise and the 5000th cruise ymmv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwaterhouse Posted January 6, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have been on a 11 cruises..... We were offered upsells on our 1st from an oceanview to a premium balcony.. We accepted. On my 5th, upgrade from inside to oceanview 8th--- upsell from 2 balconies to 1 grand suite.... Declined 11th--- upsell from balcony to grand suite... Also declined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOPPERTESTER Posted January 6, 2015 #18 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Only had a call from the Carnival Upsell fairy once. Declined it. Many calls from her sister the HAL Upsell Fairy with good deals. Try calling her cousin the Discount Elf. He takes a look at your past cruises and can make you an offer. No 1 is they do not want the price advertised, so word of mouth, verbal offers is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZbeachboy Posted January 6, 2015 #19 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have been on six Carnival Cruises and the fairy never came. I have been on Princess 7 times and she has arrived four times. Two times on RC- never upgraded and once on HAL and never. For some reason Princess has been good to me. I have to say those were not guarentied rooms either.

funinthesun1964 Posted January 6, 2015 #21 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've been on 12 or 13 cruises and never had an upsell call either. BUT... we have called into Carnival (or in our first cruise the TA) and have gotten an ocean view upgrade from an interior for the same price. In both cases the cruises were in the fall (slow season) and there was room to move. So twice we have initiated a call and received an upgrade. No calls into us though.

Rare pirate4me2 Posted January 6, 2015 #22 Share Posted January 6, 2015 We have had an upsell call on 2 of our 3 cruises. One was an obstructed view balcony booked, offered a grand suite, the other we had booked an aft extended and we were offered a ocean suite. We declined both.

kicia Posted January 6, 2015 #23 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I assume most people never receive any upgrades. We have 44 cruises on Carnival and have never had an upgrade or even upsell call. We have two cruises each on Royal and NCL and no upgrades there either. We are sailing on HAL this summer in Alaska and we like our cabin but would take a suite if offered. Maybe someday we will receive a free upgrade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
