mom2eli Posted February 27, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Wondering what I should do. Hubby and I are booked to leave on Imagination on 3/13 (two weeks - woohooo!). We have an interior cabin booked on the main deck next to the couple we are cruising with (my sis and her hubby). I called Carnival to see if there were any upgrades available and they said they could move us to a gaurenteed oceanview room. Wondering what you would do????

jckvpa0 Posted February 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It depends, how much do they want for an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obx_fintoo Posted February 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Go for it if the price is right! If they are trying to make you pay much more, then having an inside isn't the end of the world. The other question is, would your sis be mad if you get a window and she doesn't or if you are no longer next door?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Luv Crusin Posted February 27, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'd say it depends how easy going you are. I booked an inside for my next cruise but then switched it to an outside GTD for the same price. Now I'm on pins and needles worrying about what cabin we'll get. I DO like to see out and that may make it worth it no matter what cabin we get. You won't know what GTD cabin you get until now until you board. There is a way to check through the FunPass page on Carnival's website, if you decide to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshawnh Posted February 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2006 If it was "my" sister, I would go for the upgrade, just to get a little farther away. lol don't tell my sister I said that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsywych Posted February 27, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2006 If it was "my" sister, I would go for the upgrade, just to get a little farther away. lol don't tell my sister I said that LOL I was just thinking the same thing. I'd leave my sister at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted February 27, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2006 If it's the same fare, I'd go with the OV guarantee. You have only a 25% chance of being on a lower deck. If you aren't near your sister, you all will get a little more exercise walking between the staterooms - or you can use the phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2eli Posted February 27, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It would be a free upgrade and sis could have hers moved to an OV gaurentee also. I just can't make up my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see what the problem is, be in an inside room with no view or have a room with a view, this seems like a no brain-er! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are saying you both can get a free upgrade to OV, do it!! Even if you are both in different areas, you'll enjoy the view so much more! (Plus, if you and your dh get noisy one night, you won't have to explain it to your sister!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obx_fintoo Posted February 27, 2006 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It would be a free upgrade and sis could have hers moved to an OV gaurentee also. I just can't make up my mind. Since it's free, then go for it. I'm guessing that you are new to cruising, so if not don't be offended. The inside rooms are usually really dark and seem smaller. And it is so nice to be able to gaze out your window and see the sun rise (or set - depending on what side you're on!) You and sis snap those up and have a great cruise!

mom2eli Posted February 27, 2006 Author #17 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I was torn over what to do, because I didn't know if it was best to risk having cabins apart. Well the issue was solved for me. Thanks to your overwhelming response to go for it. I called Carnival back. Turns out since I booked air through carnival, (long story - was best to do it with the cruise line) the rate was not eligeable since it was a cruise only rate. I explained that I had talked to someone previously and they had offered me an oceanview gaurentee. So they told me they coulndn't do that, but that they would switch us to a riveria oceanview. I thought that was fair. We are in R53 and R131 - about 20 cabins apart. Do you think this is good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
