PrincessPatti Posted October 25, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Just scored what I think is an awesome deal for the Mardi Gras sailing this Saturday. Went from a balcony to an Ocean Suite for $128 — $64 per person. Same deck, just the opposite side of the ship. Getting more and more excited!!!!! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbyfelse1963 Posted October 26, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Did you call them to see about the upgrade or did they notify you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J&L~SetSail Posted October 26, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I wonder if it makes a difference if you book direct instead of through a travel agent. My guess is that it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haehaehaley Posted October 26, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The upsell fairy has only called me once years ago. I wish they’d call me for my cruise in December LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalkr2 Posted October 26, 2021 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I got called once on this, but hoping to hear from them again some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txgal08 Posted October 26, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I have their phone number in my contacts and I am hoping that they call. I cruise next week and then again at the end of the month and in December. I’ve only had the upgrade fairy call me once. Have you spent money pre-cruise already? I’m trying to figure out what triggers them to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggie0811 Posted October 26, 2021 #12 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I had a cruise booked last year that of course cancelled, but one day when I logged into my cruise planner I had an upgrade offer there. I think we moved from a balcony on deck 6 to a spa balcony on 12 for maybe $100. I keep checking my planner and hoping for that offer again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also seen them under my to do list when I have logged in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it does. It does not other than a TA will answer for you. The UpSell Fairy is only about that the cruiseline needs your original stateroom for someone else or it is being taken out of service. For example, if you have a connecting stateroom and the other cabin is not linked to your booking, the cruise line wants to sell both staterooms to someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonvine Posted October 27, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I’m so old I remember when it was the upgrade fairy and it just happened. No one ever called me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny368 Posted October 27, 2021 #19 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I usually get an email from Carnival asking about upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailaway Posted October 27, 2021 #20 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I wonder if because the ships are less full people are being moved to have them bunched closer together? I know that hotels and restaurants do that to make it easier on the staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
