Vacationlover01 Posted March 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I saw the Miami number flash on my caller ID but was unable to answer the call. I tried to return the call but I just got an automated answer that asked if I wanted to put the phone number who called me on a do not call list. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Do they usually call back again? Hoping for a good upgrade possibility. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted March 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Very often they call to try and sell you travel insurance. They will continue to go down the list and most likely not come back to you. Sorry there is always a next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shebring02lx Posted March 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Sorry that you missed that phone call! Bummer. I missed mine last night too, except they called my husbands phone right after mine and I was able to score two upgrades. We originally had two side by side balconies booked for our upcoming cruise and was upgraded to two side by side suites! I would call carnival back and inquire about your missed call! Good luck!

Out of Iowa Posted March 22, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2016 my husband received a phone call at home offering a special upgrade without 12 hours of each other, about ~50 days out from our departure day; the woman from Carnival left her contact information on the voice message.

babs125 Posted March 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Call them back. There should be a note in your booking. Worked for me. I called and they transferred me to the Upgrade Fairy department. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shebring02lx Posted March 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Actually I was asking Shebring the question about her upgrade. Hello! We are exactly 40 days out today, they called me last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH711 Posted March 22, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Hello! We are exactly 40 days out today, they called me last night! Interesting, thanks! Can you share what the offer was dollar wise? Edited March 22, 2016 by MPH711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacationlover01 Posted March 22, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Sorry to say, I missed out. I called them back, but by then the opportunity was gone :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krehberg Posted March 22, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I've been called recently on both my Paradise Cruise next month and for my Conquest cruise in August....sadly neither offer was worth it :(. Both certainly cheaper than current rates for the upgrade, but only a slight discount and certainly not "too good to pass up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflys Posted March 23, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I got a call last Friday for my august cruise. Was an upgrade from ocean view to balcony. It was cheaper than current rates so I took it!! They are busy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMRPHRN Posted March 23, 2016 #19 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Uh, dumb question, here. How do you know that is who called if they didn't leave a message? Does your caller-id say something specific. Or did you recognize the number as Carnival.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shebring02lx Posted March 23, 2016 #20 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Interesting, thanks! Can you share what the offer was dollar wise? I'm not sure if the rules permit me to disclose that information? I will say that it wasn't a super fantastic deal but it was a few hundred less than the current rate and traveling with our two young kids (3&4) it made the most sense for us to snag the deal. Plus, opening up the divider on the two long balconies is a major plus for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted March 23, 2016 #21 Share Posted March 23, 2016 We missed our call a few years back, but later that day we received an email with pictures of an upgrade offer. I called the number on the email and accepted the offer. Sorry you missed the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgincruiser510 Posted March 26, 2016 #22 Share Posted March 26, 2016 What does it say on the caller ID? I'm sailing out of NY. Would it be a NY number or is the Carnival Cruise Lines office in Miami. How am I supposed to know if they're calling me? I get so many prank callers and robo calls, I don't even answer the phone if I don't recognize the number anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieH Posted March 26, 2016 #23 Share Posted March 26, 2016 We got the call about 2 weeks ago for our 4/8 Sunshine cruise..$400 for an ocean suite from our Lido balcony. My daughter got a call Thursday night for her May 2016 cruise - $400 for an ocean suite from a balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly just an incoming call from 800 number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
