Upgrade from balcony to mini-suite

[chicaletta]

With all the talk of upgrades, is it ever possible to get an upgrade from balcony to mini-suite?? I was told by TA that I was "upgraded" from a BC to BE, but to me it looked like we just got moved to mid-ship.

 

 

Since it will be my wedding/honeymoon cruise I want it to be very special. Those mini-suites look great and I'm debating on changing rooms on my own or should I keep hoping the upgrade fairy looks upon me??

BC to BE is a DOWNGRADE?????Sure you don't mean BE to BC??

For sure I don't know how the Upgrade Fairy works - but mark your booking HONEYMOON - it may help!!

I love minisuites - even though the additional square footage is not alot - the extra space really makes a difference to me.

 

Usually upgrades within the same type of cabin results in a more favorable location on the ship - i.e. more midship - less motion.

 

Don't count on the cruise line to upgrade you because it's your honeymoon. Often there are hundreds of honeymooning couples on the cruise. If it's within your budget - I would say upgrade to the mini.

 

Congratulations on your wedding!

Sorry ..I meant BE to BC

BE to BC technically is an upgrade... had you booked the highest category BA Balcony, you would have been upgraded to a mini-suite since it is the next category after a BA bacolny....:cool: :eek: :cool:

If you want to be extra special and you are willing to pay the difference, I would definitely call your TA and change your booking to a mini. Chances are slim that you would be upgraded by Princess.

We got upgraded from a balcony to a mini on the Grand a few years ago. We did book early and our TA was giving us price updates along the way as we moved up the scale. We went from a BC to BA, then AE, then a few more to and at AB. This happened over a few months. So it can happen, but that was the last time that the upgrade fairy made a real difference. Other upgrades have been up a notch or two within a category only.

We were upgraded last October on the Grand from a minimum category Mini-Suite to a full Suite. Sure spoiled us…. Good Luck, I don’t think it is out of the question!
