What excellent CS from P & O

We booked a late saver for our cruise on Britainnia next week.We booked a DC grade guarantee superior deluxe balcony which was the only grade available to book for this type of cabin and we have been allocated a DA cabin 2 grades higher ,so this is an upgrade.

 

 

Oh so you can book a grade on a late saver too - it's been so long I couldn't remember. Great news about the upgrade, I have to say there do seem to be more people getting them which is great!

They still cant fill our cruise hence all the upgrades, you can join us in the Caribbean next week for a mere £949 now!

Correct late savers pay for a cabin type not a grade. Therefore they do not get upgrades. They are fitted into a inside, ocean view or balcony.

 

I do not think it is possible to definitively say late savers do not get upgrades. Under the guarantee system it is extremely likely that anyone booking a guaranteed grade will get an upgrade but generally not anything worthwhile. Late savers as the name implies are getting an economical rate for a relatively last minute deal on a cabin type. It is always possible that the cruise line needs a specific cabin one in a precise location to slot in some outside contractors doing urgent repair or maintenance work and they need to be at a specific location and the only way of achieving this is to shift a late saver person into another cabin which is not of the same type. This is extremely unlikely to happen but I think you cannot say late savers never get upgrades.

I recently booked a Late Saver on Ventura for an outside cabin in October. I bought in at the lowest grade in the unobstructed cabin category. I was allocated a cabin in the second grade in the category, which was a four berth cabin for the two of us. I considered that an upgrade and I was very pleased. :)
