JadeEyedScorpio Posted May 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Who do the guarantee cabin fairies reward most? Past guests? 1st timers? People who book directly w/Carnival instead of TA's? Higher cabin levels (ie, OV more likely to get bumped up than balcony)? I just booked a guarantee for the 1st time (3rd cruise). so, just wondering.... although I can't imagine not having fun regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noblepa Posted May 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Is there a method to the upgrade madness? Not that anyone has yet been able to discern. A few have put forward theories, but none have been substantiated. On the contrary, every time someone suggests a pattern, there are immediately dozens of posts with counter-examples.

big_duck Posted May 8, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Generally those who pay more for a category get upgraded first. example Guest A pays $400 for a OV Gty, Guest B pays $450. Odds are that Guest B would get upgraded before guest A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are that Guest B would get upgraded before guest A. Even this can be challenged, I have friends that cruise on Interline rates (dirt cheap) and have been upgraded from OV to suites & Balcony to Penthouse. Then again they have well over 20 cruises on Carnival so I think that also helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience has been those who paid the highest fare in their category and those who book guarantee cabins. I frankly don't believe people who claim to have been upgraded from inside cabins to suites. It may happen but it has to be rare. I booked a balcony guarantee and was upgraded to a suite once. This was the best upgrade I've ever received. Usually it's the same cabin on a higher deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbevrn Posted May 8, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Not that I know of. I'm platinum and didn't get a good room at all with my guarantee. There were quite a few cabins booked in our last group. We have been upgraded in the past......and we tend to look for really good/low rates, so.......who knows. At any rate.........you'll be on a cruise and not at work. Right? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
