Received Upsell call today

[Tagoladad]

My TA called me (we leave on the 7/16 Jewel sailing) today and said that NCL had contacted her about an upsell. We are presently booked in an AF mini-suite. She said that NCL had offered an AC (either room # 9002, 9502 or 1000) for an additional 500.00 per person. The TA said that she talked her down to 350.00 per person. I think that for the 700.00, we are going to pass on the upsell. If this was a longer cruise that had more sea days we would have considered it more seriuosly. But because this is such an action packed week, I don't think we'll be at all unhappy in our AF.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this deal is out there if anyone wants it. I guess you can call your TA or call NCL directly (if you can still do that). Good luck and good sailing to whomever gets it.

I sure hope I get a call like that for our trip in Oct. We love being spoiled and having extra room. Of course, others are very happy with an inside cabin.

They offered me an AF mini for 25 a person on the week before:eek:

;) $1000 can go a long ways towards you spending money and since your already in a mini suite I think you did the right thing on a short cruise

I got the call yesterday, was offered a balcony cabin for $300 more, we are in a obstructed outside room 8102. I thought that was high so said no thank-you. Now if they want to give me the balcony I might consider it. We are right in the middle of the ship and I don't know where the balcony would be. Thought you would like to know. This is our 13th cruise and the first time I have ever been offered an upsell. In May 2005, we sailed on the Spirit to Alaska and paid for an inside (N) and got upgraded to a Outside. Didn't know that until we got onboard. I thought someone had made a mistake. Vicki

CAT D on deck five, price dropped and upgraded to BA and got $300 BACK!

 

Then two weeks prior to cruise we get a call to upgrade from BA to AC for $600 total ($300 pp). So when you look at the actual cost of the cruise from the beginning, we went from an ocean view to penthouse for $300 total. NO complaining from us. :D

 

I do want that AFT BA. The wake is amazing. We're in a BB this fall 2x for B2B and we're staying put as we don't want to change cabins after the first cruise. (I would consider a penthouse on the second run though. ;))

I have clients on the 7/16 sailing of the Jewel and attempted to get them an upsell from a balcony cabin to a mini-suite, but no luck. Will try again later with my contact.

 

I think you made the right decision in declining the upgrade. Your itinerary is so port-intensive, that you won't be spending a lot of sea days in the cabin. :)
