Upsell fairy and regret

CuriousCruiser37 · August 30, 2017

The upsell fairy sold me on going from interior to a balcony. I was super excited but before I confirmed I asked if it was mid-ship bc I really liked my interior room's location. She said it was. Well, I'm not mad but I did learn my lesson to not take the fairy by her word. I looked at the deck map and it's located towards the very back of the ship.

No matter what i will enjoy my room and the cruise!!!! But I do regret going for the offer and upgrading.

Has anyone else ever regretted their decision to upgrade when the upsell fairy called?

With any travel purchase, you have 24 hours to change your mind. You could call and have the reservation switched back if you are dissatisfied.

Always verify yourself before making any purchase (or upgrade). They'll hold while you check and if they want, tell them no thanks.

On many of Carnival's ships, I actually prefer being aft or aft to mid-ship. I never book forward cabins though. You might find you like the location. Which ship are you sailing on? Which deck/cabin did you upsell to?

Balconies are nice

DisneyDatknee · August 31, 2017

Depending on the price, I would still take it. :D

Only got the call once. They let me pull up the deck plans while we were on the phone so I could check the location of the cabins they had available in the category they were offering,

We like the back. Elevator lets you of right at lido restaurant and you don't have drunks talking loud at 2 in the morning walking outside your cabin.

I think you did good. I prefer aft instead of middle and a balcony is the way to go. Honestly any location on the ship is good. I've been very back, very front, right in the middle. Middle is my last choice and so is interior.

IMHO, a balcony is more desirable than an inside, regardless of its location.

Exactly!

Are you just talking with Carnival? This isn't true of all airlines!

We prefer aft as well. I always check the deck plan to make sure there are cabins directly above and below my cabin. Also I check to be sure it is not too close to public space on my deck. Don't like hearing the noise.

We have been called twice by the upsell fairy, and took it once. We went from an aft-view extended balcony to an ocean suite for about $120 total. It was a great deal. We enjoy having a balcony, and haven't had an inside cabin in quite a while. We like being in the aft of the boat because it's closer to the Lido deck, and the restaurants. Anywhere on a ship is good for us though.

Mid ship is nice but I prefer the back of the ship it has a lot less foot traffic. What is more important to me is what is above and below my cabin.

Cheers and have a great balcony cruise!

idraconis · August 31, 2017

Just curious. What was the cost of your interior cabin and how much was the upsell for the balcony? Thanks enjoy your cruise.

dacsmom · August 31, 2017

Depending on what you paid for the upsell, that is a great deal, I like the aft cabins. But if you really do want to move, call back and try to get your original cabin back. You may not have any luck, but it can't hurt to try.

The exact reasons why we always book aft cabins.

Wow so many good points about aft! I have always been midship. I ended up not calling to try to cancel or anything bc I was too busy at work. Now I'm glad I didn't!!! Thanks everyone!! :)

Once you go balcony you may never want to go back so be prepared.

We went from an aft-view extended balcony to an ocean suite for about $120 total. It was a great deal .

We always get and Aft-extended balcony room. How did you like the ocean suite? Someday I hope to get that call for an upgrade offer!
