Hi all! First ever upsell offered, and refused

[crusing48/51]

Was so excited to see the Carnival number on the answering machine. She said she had an exciting opportunity for us on our upcoming Magic cruise in October. Well, it wasn't so exciting when I heard the offer.

 

We are in our first ever Ocean Suite, and she offered us a Grand Suite for a mere $598.00 more!:eek::eek::eek: I told her thank you very much, but we just can't afford that.

 

I did counter offer for $200, but she informed me they can't take offers, only make them. She said it would make her job much more interesting if she could accept offers.

 

Oh well, we will just have to enjoy our little ol' Ocean Suite. Maybe next time! Hey, I'm just glad to be trying the suite!:D

I would definitely have had to turn that offer down, also.

The other day we received a call for an upsell and I also turned it down. We are sailing on the Valor September 4th and currently and in Scenic Oceanview room. She offered a ocean suite for $400 more. I would've taken it but looking forward to one of the front cabins.

I received an upsell call once. It was to go to an Ocean Suite from the balcony cabin we booked. The price they quoted was the same price it went for when we booked our balcony. Not quite a deal.

I booked a trip for November online. A Carnival agent called me saying she was my specialist. Could that have been an upsell call?

Cant say I blame you!!! I would have done the same thing. Put that money towards something awesome to buy on vacation.

I don't think that would have been an upsell call. That was most likely your PVP(personal vacation planner). They will assist you with all your cruising needs, if you so desire. If you like, they can book your cruise, handle any issues that arise, take care of any price drops, etc...........

 

I personally would rather take care of those things myself, but many people like to have their PVP do it for them. As I understand it, if you have a good one they are worth their weight in gold.;)

Lol my family and friends who have cruised with me (or done a Disney vacation or any vacation) call me their PVP or TA. Always wanted to be a TA. Hoping my DD and her fiancé get an upswell call for their honeymoon cruise in November.

probably a pvp looking for a new customer

[Micahs Grandad]

Would have turned it down also. If we had been in an inside would take it for that but not from another suite

[mizLORInj]

Definitely no bargain. It's just a bit larger than your current Ocean Suite.

Our last cruise we had an OV. Got a call offering to move to a GS for $600. I turned it down as the $600 was the difference between the two rates. Nothing special there.

I have a great one and have had him for many cruises. I wouldn't do anything without him. He has saved me money a few times with the price drops. Took care of everything. Calls occasionally but absolutely no pressure. We are on first name basis s well.

What is the date of your October sailing? I am also sailing on a different ship on the 13th and wondering around when they make their calls. Thanks

I was hoping to get an offer for my cruise next week and someone questioned me on this forum about which cruise i was talking about as they did not see it and apparently my cruise is completely booked so I guess no upgrade for me LOL
