Keep casin offer or upgrade?

[nolababe504]

I need help deciding if I should keep my casino offer I booked under or upgrade to a balcony!! I booked an inside on deck 6 with $50 casino play and free drinks on us. I was going to use my 25% credit from my Mardi Gras cruise getting canceled to upgrade to a balcony and have $200 obc on this cruise plus a little refund for the price difference. What should I do?

Please identify which ship you will be sailing on. Knowing this information will allow us to decide if having a balcony is worth it. Especially given how much of a luxury balconies can be.

I recently had a balcony on the Valor. If it were a Dream class ship or newer, I would recommend a balcony. Since the cruise is either 5 or 4 days, to me it isn't worth it to upgrade.

The casino dept told me I couldn't keep my current promotion because it ended dec. 31st and I called them that night and they were already closed. I talked to one person and they wouldn't offer it even though I just booked this cruise and she she was shocked that they didn't give me the opportunity to do it when I booked it. I wonder if I should call back and see if they can honor it. I'm sure they won't but would be worth a shot I guess?

Yeah I just don't know if the balcony is worth more than the free drinks, LOL.

Different agents will say different things. Politely ask to speak with a supervisor and see what they can do. Explain to them that you called them on December 31st, and that they were unable to honor it then.

Remember, you do have to be playing in the Casino the enjoy those beverages.

I'm on the phone with someone else now. I always play in the casino at night so that's not a problem! I don't drink a lot but free drinks is a plus!

Alright. If they can't do it, request a supervisor.
