First cruise leaves in 6 days, upgrade fairy came calling.

My wife and I booked our first cruise in April of last year and leaves in six days, the Elation out of Jacksonville for a five day Eastern Caribbean cruise. We booked an Ocean View and even if a balcony was available we would have stuck with an OV for cost reasons. However, after the dry dock last August our room was converted to a balcony. We were ecstatic with that turn of events. Then this evening got an email we had been moved up to a Jr. Suite. Not concerned about the top deck as we have it booked next year with a Scenic OV room. We are excited but feel we are going to be spoiled with such a nice room on our first cruise. We have three others already booked, all OV.

Wow! Two amazing strokes of good fortune for one cruise.

 

Enjoy, and happy sailing.

We bumped up to jr suite #V25 last month on the elation from an OV. It was a nice room and decor but a small balcony and obstructed view. We had not been on a fantasy class in 15 years and thought the ship was in nice condition after the recent dry dock.

Oh, you will be spoiled! Even with a small balcony, going back to OV might be hard!

You might be spoiled but to us would rather pay less per cruise and cruise more often.

 

Nice upgrades though

You can go back - it may not be easy but it can be done.

 

Our first 3 cruises were all balcony and all 7 day. We decided to try a 5 day and balconies are few so we did an OV. We lived

through it! Then we booked several more 5 days in an OV. We have still thrown in a couple of balconies along the way including our 8 day Southern next February (our first aft view balcony and I'm soooo excited and we turn Platinum). The only cabin we've never booked is an interior.

 

Oh and just my 2 cents - but I'm thinking you should play the lottery and soon! Sounds like lady luck is on your side lately.

 

Have fun!

Wow! That'll make for a great first cruise. We love the Jr suites. Enjoy!

Very lucky. We received an email asking us to upgrade but by the time I responded, the offer was gone.
