Looks like Carnival is still doing upgrade offers

[Joebucks]

We aren't balcony people. For my upcoming Celebration cruise, it was an extra $650 for a balcony. We originally passed on it. Today, I got the offer email for $282 to upgrade my room. Honestly, we still probably won't use it enough. However, for $282, I figured what the hell. From what I could tell too, there wasn't an overabundance of balcony rooms left.

We got a phone call two days ago to upgrade to a suite from an aft balcony.  For less than $50 pp/day. We jumped on it.

We went from an interior porthole (kind of an oxymoron) to a balcony for $156 on the Panorama in July

How far out are y'all from your departure date?  I know the odds are against me but I'd like to know when to give up hope.  😄

We received upgrade offer today for a January cruise.  Pretty surprised but maybe they want more inventory of the lower priced cabins.

Upsell offers have never stopped

I received an upgrade offer from 4J cabin to balcony on Panorama in January for $452.  No thank you for that price.  4J cabins are pretty nice and I wouldn’t pay that much more for a balcony.

I had a similar offer and decided to pass.  I have an extended aft balcony on the Mardi Gras and they offered me an ocean suite.  The room size didn't look *that* much bigger, but the balcony was way smaller than the one I already have.  Plus it was over $600 to upgrade, so I decided it wasn't worth it for me.  I'm glad your offer was right for you though.

I had an OV and upgraded my wife and I to a balcony for $90 total, not each. We are 6 weeks out. I just checked my booking and order details a couple times a day and one day, poof, there was the upgrade tab.

Just a note they may not phone you or even email you, I noticed my upgrade when I was checking my planner online.

Anyone have a screenshot of an upgrade offer? I'd like to know what I'm looking for on carnival.com!

we sail fairly regularly on CCL but i dont recall us getting an upgrade call.  we usually use my best friend's wife, a travel agent, to book our cruises.  wonder if that's the reason?  

 

we are sailing in dec and have our first inside cabin reserved.  i wouldnt mind an upgrade offer to ponder. ha!

Click on booking and order details then scroll down. It will be a red tab I think out to the right of where your "view invoice details" is at. I can't screen shoot it, I done used it for the upgrade and it is gone.

Upsells are based on your booked cabin location and the need for Carnival to resell it at a higher price to someone who needs it (like for minor kids) or being a connected cabin or to move underselling rooms.  It matters not how you booked, what you paid or what offer you used.

You can't miss the upsell offer.

I got an email that said "you qualify for a stateroom upgrade"

I was given an upgrade offer on my last cruise, on the Vista, in 2016, and they called me. I took it. From an interior to a spa balcony for $400 total, on an 8-day Mediterranean cruise.

I booked a Havana interior (first for us) for the casino offer of $100, figured since we spend all of our time in the Havana we would give it an interior a whirl.  We are gone the week of Thanksgiving.  Just got a call from Carnival this week and for $300 total, we were upgraded to a Havana balcony/patio room.  Since we were in so cheap, I was surprised and jumped all over it!
