jean6060 Posted October 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I have a question ....do I have a better chance of getting an upgraded room when I book directly with Carnival vs. using Travelocity or Costco? I am going to book a guaranteed inside. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted October 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Doesn't seem to make much difference. Your best chance of getting upgraded seems to be paying more for your room then anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean6060 Posted October 16, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Many thanks for the reply. I should have also noted that I will be booking 4 additional cabins...those will be balconies or oceanview. So I think I will call Carnival direct and see what happens.

Wennfred Posted October 16, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2007 No formula to how Upgrades work, If you have been a good kid this past year the Upgrade Fairy may be kind to you. :D Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dclark Posted October 16, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Here's my take- I reserved the awesome 2462 room on the Valor and a guarantee balcony on the Valor two summers ago. I am frequent CCL cruiser, stock holder, and had work with this same CCL PVP twice in the past. So, what did I get? I got an ordinary balcony room, no upgrade, but what was real, real bad was that this room was toward the front of the ship, about as far away as possible from my other cabin (the 2462 room). Personally, I won't deal with CCL pvp's again as I can get the same price from a TA along with a free excursion or some other spiff tossed in. The only time I have ever got an upgrade was when RCL turn my balcony guarantee in a handicap accessible balcony, which has the same space as a minisuite!
