NurseDave Posted January 20, 2016 #28 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If we booked through a TA will they talk to us about upsell or doesn't my TA need to call them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adian80 Posted January 20, 2016 #30 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Congrats! Can you tell us the date and ship? Dawn 1-31-16 For comparison sake, what would that have cost normally? If I booked it today I would have paid $6500 for 4 with no perks. No idea how much it would have cost if I had booked sooner, but I did a mock for the same ship/week next year and it would cost about $6500 with the 4 perks. I paid $2700 total with UDP and UBP. I feel like I got a great deal! Now to break the news to hubby that I spent an extra $1000..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezo Posted January 20, 2016 #31 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So what process did you follow? You called the number and directly asked for if there was any upsells for your reservation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adian80 Posted January 20, 2016 #32 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So what process did you follow? You called the number and directly asked for if there was any upsells for your reservation? Yep! I called several times before upsells were available starting at 3 weeks out. There was a ton of suites/mini suites available and only inside guarantees available, so I figured our chances were good!

evanAction Posted January 20, 2016 #33 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Called about our Feb 6th Escape cruise a few moments ago. They said they don't have any offers yet, to check back mid-next week and they may have something for me then. Will let you guys know! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropical83 Posted January 20, 2016 #34 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I should try this for my Getaway cruise in May. I have an interior room booked. Has anyone ever upgraded from interior to balcony? If so how much extra did it cost you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borisivan Posted January 20, 2016 #35 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I have 2 inside rooms, as I have a family of 5. I wonder if an upsell into a family suite would be in NCL's interest and might make me a nice offer, given that instead of freeing up one room, this would actually free up 2 rooms for them to re-sell. Has anyone been through the same scenario or heard of that happening before? I'm guessing this is just wishful thinking. :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted January 20, 2016 #36 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If you booked through an NCL PCC, can you or should you check with them or just call the number mentioned above? Thanks, T We haven't had much luck with the NCL PCC. I would just call the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted January 20, 2016 #37 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Oooooooo... well maybe we'll get a window this cruise and live like the 1%. A man can dream.. :D:D You never know. You may end up in a suite. We did, on our last cruise! Edited January 20, 2016 by Arzeena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever upgraded from interior to balcony? If so how much extra did it cost you? Anything from approx $0 to $300. But that all depends on the upsell people. Don't call till 10 to 15 days before the cruise. Edited January 20, 2016 by Arzeena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Dorhead1230 Posted January 20, 2016 #40 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I have a dumb question. Well, maybe not dumb, but it might make me seem greedy [emoji15]. Is it possible to get an upsell if you are sailing on a comp from CAS? We had a comped inside and paid to upgrade to a balcony, and I was just wondering if it will be worth taking a shot and calling if it looks like there are suites or mini-suites available a couple of weeks before sailing, or if they do not offer up sells on CAS reservations. I would really appreciate if anyone could share any experience with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phissy Posted January 20, 2016 #42 Share Posted January 20, 2016 We had no intention to upgrade. I researched POA a lot and finally chose SG suite on deck 12. We have all four promotions, UDP, paid grats, excursion credit and OBC. Sailing 1/30 and decided to call upsell dept to see what they might have. Ended up actually upgrading to deluxe Owners Suite. Since we will never repeat this cruise again, we decided it was worth the additional $1,500. First time in OS , curious to see what it will be since it is Hawaii and no liquor can be given in promotions. I guess it will be wine??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted January 21, 2016 Author #44 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Okay, so I just had the weirdest thing happen. I called the upsell department (my third time this week as today we are just 10 days out from the cruise). On Monday I was told nothing available, on Tuesday I was given multiple choices of a number of categories but none of them were at a discount for me so I declined, I didn't call on Wednesday, I called again today and was told, again, there is nothing available for that cruise. I know that all of the cabins that were available on Tuesday are still available today. Any guesses why this might happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carontori Posted January 21, 2016 #45 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I received the upsell email this week for my 1/31 cruise but it was for several different suites at a price I wasnt willing to pay. Had my PCC call today to see if we could get an upsell to a balcony. Turns out there are only a few left so they aren't doing any upsells on balcony or mini suites.

The prices figured out to be about the same as it would have cost me to initially book any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginnie6 Posted January 22, 2016 #49 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks for this post. I called today and upgraded to Oceanview and got the Unlimited Dining added on along with my Unlimited Beverage for $126 total for three of us. Very excited! 16 days until the cruise!

usazhangjx Posted January 22, 2016 #50 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi, I really want to know how do they determine the upsell price for each customer, it looks like they offer different price. My only assumption would be base on the price each customer paid. Is it correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
