mworkman Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Well wouldn't you know it. The upgrade fairy has hit us without even a phone call. Just checked online and we have been upgraded from JS to Two Bedroom Suite with Balcony on our sailing the 5th Jan 18, Serenade of the Seas. I couldn't believe my eyes...i better run out and purchase a lottery ticket!! Waahoooooo!!!! Gears, DunkelBierJay, Lovetocruise2002 and 11 others 14 Quote
Larry Muster Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Congrats dude! I am always worried that on the cruises where I am staying with a group of people in s block of rooms that I’ll be upgraded to a different area. I guess it wouldnt be that bad... Quote
mworkman Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Posted January 3, 2018 My luck it will be a computer glitch, as we has seen several of them lately, so when i actually check in on Friday it will be fixed and we'll be downgraded to life boat with no facilities.

MKSglitz Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 When you are upgraded, do you have to pay anything? Quote
Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 Congrats! What an upgrade! That is great news! Quote

UkuleleCruiser Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 We got upgraded last year from an Inside Cabin to a Promenade Cabin. It was a cruise over New Years, so being able to watch the balloon drop and craziness from our cabin very positively affected our cruise. But I had to call and ask about upgrades to get it. Quote
mworkman Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Posted January 4, 2018 I knew something would try to block us. Well this snow storm has delayed our flight till 6:00pm instead of our original 6:00am flight with a delay on the later flight. Well I called to see if we could get on a flight in Raleigh, NC....all booked up for today. So I made the command decision...get in the car woman...we’re driving to Atlanta and flying from there..lol Here we sit awaiting our 4:00pm departure to FLL. Nothing lika 6 hour drive to the airport. ?I was tempted to drive down to Ft Lauderdale but that would have been a 10 hour drive..non-stop. Didn’t feel like that was the best option for us. ? Quote

MKSglitz Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Everyone was so excited about " mworkman's" visit from the upgrade fairy that my previous question seems to have been overlooked. When/If the "upgrade fairy" visits you, is there any additional monies or service fees involved that one would have to pay? It's hard to believe that RCCL would give you a two bedroom suite for nothing. Quote

The upgrade fairy is a nearly extinct species. GLAD to see that she visited mworkman. At least we know she's still alive. Here's a question. mworkman, if you prepaid gratuities at the regular rate, are they charging you anything more for grats since you are now in a "real" suite ? Also.....how is your room ? Are you thrilled ? Quote

Wow; guests 21 years and younger need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian? Sorry 21 yr old, you're old enough to drink, buy cigarettes, go to war, but NOT be unchaperoned in the Concierge Lounge on a RCCL ship. LOL Quote
