NewAddict Posted March 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I think we had one about a week before a cruise before, and another one about a month before a cruise. But wondering if they make those calls even sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2trvlnow Posted March 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We received an upsell call for our upcoming cruise on April 29 at the end of February. So that was 2 months before the sail date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipbound Posted March 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2017 This April will be my 35th cruise with CCL and I only got two calls about an upgrade which were the night before the sail date. I consider an upgrade going from an inside cabin to an outside cabin. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larronry Posted March 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Mine was 2 days. I took it and enjoyed the junior suite (from ocean view) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8rmomof3 Posted March 23, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Just curious.....if/when they do call, is it a really good deal for the upgrade? We booked inner rooms only because I'd rather save my money and spend it another way. HOWEVER if the price is right and too good to pass up, I may be able to be persuaded into a better room........

farmfresh Posted March 23, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not always a good thing...we took the "upgrade" and the room noise was HORRIBLE!!! Wish I had stayed put and saved the $25. Lesson learned for me. (It was 3 weeks before) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewAddict Posted March 24, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wow, for so many of you with many cruises, I guess the calls must really be random. Sent from my SM-G530T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted March 24, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Has anyone received the call that booked through a travel agent? Sent from my iPad using Forums Wow, for so many of you with many cruises, I guess the calls must really be random. Sent from my SM-G530T using Forums mobile app It doesn't matter who you booked through. We have gotten one upgrade (free) when booked through a travel agent. Six balcony cabins on the Empress deck upgraded to the Panorama Deck. As for the amount of cruises, it's based on supply and demand. If they have empty balcony cabins or suites that are sitting empty and aren't selling, yet people want insides on the Riviera Deck, they will offer the balcony cabins or suites (lately all at upsell rather than free upgrades) in order to free up the cheaper cabins. They do this in order to sell as many cabins as possible. From what I've read on here lately, the price offered for an upsell hasn't been that great of a deal. It's usually what you would have paid for that cabin originally. We always book on the Panorama Deck. That being a higher cost area, we probably never will get upgraded or offered an upsell. They know that people that book up there do it because that's where they want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfmoore76 Posted March 24, 2017 #19 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I am going on my first cruise this coming Monday -- got a call yesterday. Wanted me to pay $360 to go from a porthole cabin to a balcony. I didn't feel that was a steal so I said no. Seemed quite a bit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
