Lovincruisin1321 Posted February 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I am sailing on Celebrity Constellation in March. Inside cabin. I have heard of people being selected for free upgrades. How does this happen? How do I go about upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAOk1945 Posted February 4, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2015 We have only had one free upgrade. It was through Princess from a mini suite to a full suite. I understand they don't do this anymore. I would call cruise line directly, especially if I wasn't happy with the room I had booked. Good luck and happy cruising.

LOVINCRUIZIN Posted February 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2015 MOst cruise lines have tiered memebrships and will offer any upgrades available to their most frequesnt customers. Even as Diamond on RC, I don't get, nor do I expect, upgrades. They will go to Diamond Plus and Pinnacle members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted February 4, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I've seen cruise line advertisements that offer free upgrades from one lower category to another. I'm not sure how that works. I prefer booking the room I want. Edited February 4, 2015 by JimAOk1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amie9769 Posted March 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If we booked through cruises only, can we still call the cruise line and request upgrade closer to cruise date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted March 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If we booked through cruises only, can we still call the cruise line and request upgrade closer to cruise date? Do it. The cruise line may have a waiting list and add your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted March 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've seen cruise line advertisements that offer free upgrades from one lower category to another. I'm not sure how that works. I prefer booking the room I want. MOSTLY the category is within itself but on a higher deck. So when you see free upgrades that is what you are getting. Each deck has at least 2 different categories and going to the next deck up will give you 2 more different categories Very rare do you book an oceanview and get a free upgrade to a balcony cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted March 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If we booked through cruises only, can we still call the cruise line and request upgrade closer to cruise date? no, the agency owns your booking. All requests will have to go through that agency that you booked with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco Posted March 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 27, 2015 This has happened to us several times. We book a "minimum guarantee". Sometime after final payment has been made they will offer a promotion with lower prices with the caveat: "New bookings only" or "Not applicable to prior bookings". As we've paid more then other folks now booking at the minimum rate...we've been upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
