Missed a call from the Upgrade Fairy last night, but...

As I was wrist deep in mixing up a meatloaf last night my phone starts ringing. I look and it says Telemarketer Florida. I let it go to voice mail, finishing getting my meatloaf in the oven and noticed they left a voice mail. Listen to it and it's Carnival offering a upgrade for our Mardi Gras cruise in a few weeks. Tried calling back as they left their extension. No luck getting through to them. Here comes the but part, they called me this morning and the upgrade was still available. So we go from a inside Havana Room to patio Havana room.

Congrats! That's awesome! Sometimes, you can just log in and it will be on your Carnival account as well, in your cruise planner. Enjoy your cruise lucky duck!

What a deal - we absolutely loved our HC patio and spent a lot of time there.  Enjoy!

Very nice offer!

Great deal! Our one and only call from the Upgrade Fairy was from an interior on Lido to a Havana Extended Balcony. We took it. I don't remember the cost, but it was well worth it! Enjoy!

I'm jealous of the sweet offers :).  Last month, the Upgrade Fairy offered us an upgrade from an obstructed to full ocean for $250 per cabin (5-night cruise).  Mind you, I could've booked the full ocean for less than that to begin with.  Maybe the offers get sweeter as departure nears, but this cruise is sold out.

Nice! On our Vista cruise to the Mediterranean on its inaugural year they offered us an upgrade from an interior room to a spa balcony for just $400. We took it!
