THe VIP status comes with all suites so they didn't give you anything extra there. Glad you are happy with your upgrade. I will get to sail in a suite, some day LOL

Guess it all depends on how you value ``VIP'' treatment. Sailed the Triuph in Jan. and again in April out of Miami this year. Both time we cruised in regylar balcony cabins, no VIP status. Both times we were through the registration line an onto the ship in about 15 minutes. Never had to pay anything extra to get that quick service.

We were on the Triumph last month too and even with it being spring break and the second zone called we were onboard very quickly as well. We found the check in lines moved rather quickly for us.

That is wonderful!! Congrats! We are sailing the Triumph in July so maybe I'll get one of those calls! When are you sailing?

[NJBride]

Oh never mind, I see when you are sailing! Enjoy!:D

NJBride,

 

We are sailing on the same cruise as you and just got the call today - upgraded from a balcony to a suite for $500 - they threw in comped champagne and chocolate covered strawberries when I hesitated (who knows, though, maybe we would have gotten that anyway). This is actually the third time we've gotten a deal on an upgrade since we originally booked. We started with an interior, then went to ocean view, then balcony. The first upgrades happened because my fiancee was wise enough to keep an eye out for discounted prices on the travel web sites - she'd then call to see if we could upgrade for the difference of what we had already paid and the newly published deals. This time, it was all Carnival. They tried calling our home phone with both of us at work, but our phone service was out today and they couldn't get through. They then emailed me, which worked out great, because I was able to get back to them a lot sooner than I would have if they had left a message at home.

 

It's our honeymoon cruise (and my first cruise period) and we are very excited to be in a suite!

I know you were asking the OP, but in my case we were upgraded from a balcony to a suite for $500 total (incl. taxes, etc.) for two people.
