ourcruiseyears Posted January 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2017 After all these years, finally our first upgrade fairy call today! We sail on Pride from Tampa on Sunday. Left early today to start a mini vacation. Cell phone rings and I see the call is from Florida. Could it be!? Figured it was most likely about a refund issue we have with them right now. Lo and behold, it was the upgrade fairy! We were offered an 8K extended balcony for what a 4D interior stateroom was going for today. We happened to bring an extra $500 Carnival gift card with us so you bet we whipped that out and jumped all over it! So excited, I could not wait to come share our good news!

cruise pup Posted January 14, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Sounds like a terrific deal. But I thought an upgrade is when it's complimentary and an upsell when you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h3yitsvictoria Posted January 14, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) That's not the upgrade fairy. Upgrade fairies don't ask for money ;) This is the upsell fairy.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted January 14, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Whether upgrade or upsell, it sounds like fairy dust to me! How much extra did you pay to move? Send pics of the extended balcony! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ourcruiseyears Posted January 15, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Obviously I'm still a "newbie" here (or ditzy...or both! Haha!). Yes, a call from the "upsell fairy" it was! :) We moved from a 4D interior to the 8K extended balcony for $300 more. See you fellow Pride cruisers tomorrow!

Jamericannn Posted January 15, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Sounds like a terrific deal. But I thought an upgrade is when it's complimentary and an upsell when you pay. I was offered an upgrade from an interior to a 6C Oceanview for just $70. The regular price would be a couple hundreds. Even though we had to pay the $70, I consider it an upgrade because of the savings (an upgrade for only $70). This was one room 4 people and the price is covers everyone.

mzlinda Posted January 15, 2017 #20 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Not sure why people feel the need to correct from upgrade to up sell. But then I'm also confused when someone feels the need to correct a grammar error on here like you're vs your. Congrats on upgrading your room.
