cruznon Posted February 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2007 A few days ago HAL called and asked if we'd be willing to switch cabins(seems other pax wanted their cabins to be closer to each other.) When we were given the cabins available, we declined. (Locations not to our liking.) I did mention that we would be interested in an upgrade if one became available. This morning we got the call. We were offered an upgrade to an SB at a good price and we jumped on it! Soooo... now I am REALLY excited! I just finished packing--except for the last-minute items. I'll be waving Saturday with a BIG smile! Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted February 16, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2007 That's great, Peggy. Congratulations. Have a wonderful time on Oosterdam. Fair winds and a following sea....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starysacz Posted February 16, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Congratulations on the last-minute upgrade for this Sat. Believe it is on the Noordam. We will be on it also. We have had free upgrades the day before in the past, but those days are gone forever. One was to a PHS. Once in a lifetime. Looking forward the cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starysacz Posted February 16, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sorry about thinking it was the Noordam. See that it is the Oosterdam. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippylulu Posted February 16, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Wow I wish we could be that lucky! We have an aft balcony suite SC6156--handicapped! Ilove a big balcony but I'd go up to an SA if it was reasonable just for locationa nd a bathtub! Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted February 16, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Way to go on the upgrade, wow, now your really going to have a great cruise, and I have a feeling those other people got to be closer to their friend, works for all of you!

Bill S Posted February 16, 2007 #12 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Good for you, Peggy! Maybe it was the banner that got their attention?? Whatever the reason, that is so nice!! Enjoy!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanFantasys Posted February 16, 2007 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Oh Peggy I am so happy for you !! Have a wonderful cruise and we will look for you Saturday. Rhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznon Posted February 16, 2007 Author #14 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks for all your lovely and generous wishes! We had an SS (a very nice cabin with a great location) but the move to an SB is an unexpected thrill! Just printed our express passes with the new cabin number. Packing is done--including the banner! I am definitely ready to get on a dam ship!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade13 Posted February 16, 2007 #16 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yes, but she said she had to pay for it. I asked to be put on the list for a free upgrade. They offered $700pp ($1,400) to go from a VF to a VA (10 day cruise). What does everyone consider reasonable to pay? It sounds like they are just getting more money out of her.

seasideny Posted February 16, 2007 #17 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Do they ever offer upgrades for free? I suppose I shouldn't get my hopes up for an ungrade from SA to the penthouse!!! Traci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grampy Posted February 17, 2007 #20 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Peggy, you deserve to have a nice upgrade. You are always so perky on the boards I love to read your posts. You are also going to luck out with beautiful weather to start your cruise.:) Have fun and I will look for the wave. I wish that James Deering could be there for the first wave with the banner. He may even watch it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
