mawie Posted April 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I received a call last Thursday to offer me an upgrade.I have cruised about 15 times and this never happened to me before! We had booked an Inside Guarantee on Allure. We were offered a Superior Ocean View room with Larger Balcony for 135$ CAD (about 100$ US). At first, I did not believe it, it was too good to be true! I thought it was per person, and then per day. When the man on the phone confirmed it was the total amount for my bf and I, I couldn't refuse! I have looked online to see how much this room would have cost us if we had reserved it, and it was 1800$ more than what we paid! :) Now less than 3 weeks before I see what a balcony is really about, since I have always cruised with Inside Cabins!! I have never been more excited for a cruise lol Edited April 11, 2016 by mawie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfcathorse Posted April 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2016 enjoy! but be careful of your night time "activities" stay away from the rail, the ship does have cameras aimed at the side of the ship. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted April 11, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Have you been assigned your cabin number yet? If you have, you may want to see if you can get a better location by seeing what's available on the website. Great Upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisnpat Posted April 11, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 11, 2016 We just about always book the inside cabins and have never been visited by the upsell fairy. Maybe some time, but I'n not holding my breath for it. Congratulations and have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted April 11, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I was assigned room 10200 which seems to be good, mid-ship, port side. That's an excellent location, on the hump. With a larger balcony too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GINNY L Posted April 11, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Congratulations on the upsell. If you are leaving a port and the island/land is on your side of the ship while pulling out, it is really nice view sitting on the balcony and watching the view of the island.

johnjen Posted April 11, 2016 #22 Share Posted April 11, 2016 This TRULY is an AWESOME deal; however, because we went to balcony from inside over the time we've cruised, I honestly can say I think balconies are overrated....the ONLY thing I didn't like about the inside room was how DARK they can be when the lights go out! But we would easily go back to an inside - depends on cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newtampagirl Posted April 13, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Nice!! Just curious, what would caller ID show up as, Royal Caribbean? Would they leave a message? We got a call from Miami around 7pm but didn't pick it up. I tried to look up the number using 411 but that didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
