carscomefirst Posted November 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2017 We have an eight day cruise on the Sunshine booked in December. We started out with an early saver fare for a 4A cabin. We were upgraded(no charge) to a 4B cabin with a price match along with some on board credit. About a week ago we received an e-mail for an upsell $40 to a 4E cabin so we went ahead and took it. At this point we have accrued $240 OBC and spent an additional $40. Last night while doing a mock booking I found a VIFP deal for a balcony with $50 OBC for less than our original cruise fare. I called Carnival to see if we could upgrade to this current deal and the rep. was more than helpful. We ended up getting upgraded(no additional charge) to an 8T(spa balcony) along with an additional $160 in OBC. cliff notes: price matches $240 4A upgraded to 4B no charge 4B upsold to 4E $40 4E upgraded to 8T plus additional $160 OBC Final results 4A upgraded to 8T with $400 in OBC :D This will be our second cruise and first with a balcony.

carscomefirst Posted November 18, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I didn't think you could do that kind of upgrade with an Early Saver Rate! I didn't think we would get it. When I called Carnival the rep was very helpful and said no problem. Whether this is normal or not I don't know but felt it never hurts to try.
