Good UpGrade?

[kittylovestocruise]

My husband was asking me Monday how much we paid for our cruise.  I logged in to tell him the exact amount.  When I logged in it said I was eligible for an upgrade.  It was $168 total to upgrade from a balcony on deck 8 to a spa balcony on deck 12.  I took the upgrade.  Hoping that I made the right choice. Did I make the right choice?

Sounds like it to me, especially if you like the spa 🙂

I'm curious. Where did it say you were eligible for an upgrade? I have received emails to that effect, but wasn't aware it was on the website.

Depends on the ship.  The selling point for me was no kids.

Similar to the last poster, what ship is this?  I think it is a good upsell, but how good depends on what ship you are cruising on.

Based on a roll call post it looks like she is on the Vista November of 2019.

if you think it was a good upgrade, it was a good upgrade. Personally, I would have taken it. Enjoy!

Yes it is on the Vista.  Cannot remember where it was located (info on upgrade) it was after I logged in to check how much I paid for cruise.  It might have been under booking and order details.

i had the same upgrade offer on a breeze sailing next april  . i went from a 9th  floor balcony to a 11th floor balcony for $20 total . the offer was on the top of the cruise manager page

A Spa cabin upgrade does not necessarily include a Spa pass

Hi

 

Just curious, why would you think that? My understanding, is that a spa cabin includes 2 passes to the Cloud 9 spa as well the included spa cabin amenities. That is what would differentiate it from a regular balcony cabin.  Have you read anything, anywhere, that would suggest different? 

 

Here is a link from Carnival's FAQ page talking about the Cloud 9 spa cabins. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1167/~/cloud-9-spa

Not true kids can be booked in any Cloud 9 spa cabin. They just can't use the Cloud 9 theral suites.The Havana section (select ships) is the only one that has a minimum age, but still if the kid(s) are over 12 a Havana cabin can be booked with them in it.

Yes, but I think this kid-disliker is referring to the use of the Spa and its amenities.

There have been threads about upgrading to a Spa Cabin and not being offered Spa passes. BTW have had Spa cabins and never saw kids. So if you like the Serenity area are you also a "child disliker" We just prefer the quiet of the Spa deck and convenient location.

If you are going to take advantage of the amenities offered by the spa it is a good deal. If you are not why take it?

Hi

 

I haven't seen these threads. Somehow, I would think that that sort of situation would have to be specifically stated. Otherwise according their (Carnival's) definition, the customer would not be getting what they were offered. This offer was a online offer for a spa cabin. If there was no mention of any specific exclusions, then that would mean the offer was for all the inclusions normal to a spa cabin.

Last year on the Magic,  we got an upgrade to a spa balcony for like $60.  We recieved all amenities and really enjoyed it.
