Upsell “offer”

[cruisingTXfamily]

I got my first ever upsell offer today. It was for a 4 day cruise on the Freedom in August. We currently have a balcony on the Lido deck which is our preferred location. We were offered to move to a suite on deck 7 for an additional $974. Obviously, I passed this “offer” up. Definitely not worth essentially doubling our cost.

It is so good to see these things from past cruises reappear!  I had forgotten about upswell offers.

I imagine there will lots of offers to upsell.  Figuring they are not sailing at full capacity, they have the wiggle room and will take every chance to make some extra money.

LOL- I took one once on the spur of the moment when they called. I don't regret doing it but in the end I don't think it was really worth it. It was from an Ocean Suite to a Grand Suite which the extra space was nice but not really that noticeable. Grand came with Havana pool access but my son was just 11 not 12 so that went mostly to waste too-lol. It was cool seeing it and on the Vista it's a very nice area but overall not really worth it.

Got the upsell call for Vista, leaving Saturday. It was $920 for Havana Balcony. No thank you.

Hope I get on for my next cruise.

Your cruise will most likely be at reduced capacity, so the Havana area isn't as enticing since there probably will be plenty of space all over the ship.

We got an upsell offer the other day. We're going out on the Vista on the 10th. They tried to upsell us from a balcony to a suite. Nope.

[ScottsSweetie]

This is the second notice of an upsell that I have seen that has been a ridiculous price! 

[groundloop]

I usually book balconies, decided to treat ourselves to a suite once when the price difference was very small, and to be honest I didn't really feel like there was all that much difference.  Not worth it, in my most humble opinion.

At that price It really isn't enticing.

Are you referring to the Grand Suite you stayed in or the Havana area that was a waste to you because your son was 11?

If capacity is at 60%, the aft adult pool area at 60% is still substantially more crowded than the Havana pool is at 100% capacity.

Any time we were offered an upsell, to a suite, with what we paid originally and what they wanted extra, it wasn't that much cheaper than if we had done the suite to begin with.

Sorry, I didn't see you had quoted. And sorry what I wrote reads wonky- I meant the Havana area because he and I spend a lot of time together during vacations so I wasn't able to go out there that much. It's a nice space though, much nicer I think than the Havana area looks on say the Mardi Gras BUT it is a substantial upcharge. Interior Havana often costs as much as a cove balcony room. So it has to be weighed but... I might do it again. It really is a nice set up and a great view.

We were upsold to a suite from a balcony.  My girls were 8 & 10 and thought it was very special.  Especially the tub😄

[Radiioman46]

How come I'm not getting an offer? I sail on the 24th of July. Do think that i can't afford it? lol

[jordanaire]

After 25 cruises, I got the call for an upgrade. However...it came 20-min AFTER we had boarded the ship. And the cost was an additional $389! Fagetabout it.
