Sillyjilly Posted October 17, 2017 #27 Share Posted October 17, 2017 When I've called about an upsell offer, both times they told me or gave me a choice of specific cabins to choose from. framer Ditto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twotennesseans Posted October 18, 2017 #30 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Got an upsell last week from Mini Suite to Aft Suite. We have been in the aft suite before so we are beyond excited for the price they offered it to us for! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted October 18, 2017 #31 Share Posted October 18, 2017 You won't get an upsell until after final payment. You then will have to pay for it immediately. Interesting. I was going to say not true, we got an upsell December 22nd. Cruise was March 30, but we paid December 19th (paid early because we were going to be on vacation) Missed the upsell because we were on a cruise. So, it was after final payment, but final payment was done early.... Thanks, I had not realized that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted October 18, 2017 #32 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Just got an upsell offer yesterday for our 15 day Nov. 14 Hawaii cruise. Inside to OV...didn't take it. How much was the upsell offer for? We usually book Inside for our Hawaii cruises. I'm just curious how much an upsell could go for.

Rare geoherb Posted October 18, 2017 #33 Share Posted October 18, 2017 We've received one upsell offer out of 20 Princess cruises--5 percent. It was to move from a balcony to a suite for $199 per person. Since it was only a 3-day cruise, I declined. We were doing that cruise back to back with a 4-day one. I thought it would be a let-down to go from a suite on the first cruise to a balcony cabin on the second. If it had been the other way around, I may have taken it. We'll never sail in a suite otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanyaewa Posted October 18, 2017 #34 Share Posted October 18, 2017 While waiting, I looked online and found out cabins left in the upsell category. Is this info available right on the Princess Website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted October 18, 2017 #35 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Is this info available right on the Princess Website? Yes, if you try a "new" booking, you can see available cabins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted October 18, 2017 #36 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I was never offered one. Maybe it’s because I always book the Captains Cabin. The Captain of The Rowboat, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgmacm Posted October 18, 2017 #37 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) We've only gotten 1 upsell...and it came about 6 wks before our cruise - which of course, is AFTER final payment (Not saying that they always do that...just saying that's when OUR offer came) Our Process: The email came and I immediately called to get in line (they call you back...) Then I called DH at work to see if he had any preferences. (Honestly, most of the time, he doesn't care one way or another about most travel decisions...as long as he gets to GET AWAY FROM WORK!!!) On the website, I went through a 'new booking' process to find available cabins. I did a little bit of research here on CC...and actually contacted a regular here for an email conversation. Then I made a list of 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices. Several times during the day I would check the website again...the inventory was constantly changing (as I assume others were getting their call-backs and moving around all over the ship ;)) but I only had to change one of MY (1st, 2nd 3rd) choices once when one of them 'disappeared'. My callback came about 24 hrs later...I immediately opened up the princess website again....as I talked to the lady about what SHE had available. Her inventory was the same as what I was seeing online. I chose my cabin...and they charged the credit card I asked them to charge. I won't go into the following phone call to Barclay where I had to ask that they please apply double points to this Princess purchase (yes...that seems to be resolved now...but this was 'back in the day' when we had to ask them... then monitor them... to get them to keep their promises :confused:) I received the new email from PCL with new cabin assignment...and when I checked Personalizer, everything checked out there as well.... Nice offer...Easy Process...and we DID get to choose our cabin and method of payment. Edited October 18, 2017 by rgmacm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBill Posted October 18, 2017 #38 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Do upsells happen on the 15 day Hawaiian cruises? I am hoping for something but not expecting it Yes - we just returned last week from a 15 day Hawaiian cruise where we got an upsell from a BD balcony on Baja to a MB MiniSuite on Dolphin for $149pp. First time in a mini-suite. Very nice to have the extra room for a 15 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
