Suzanne Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yesterday we got an email from RCCL saying we could be eligible for an upgrade to a balcony cabin on our May 5th Adventure of the Seas sailing . The cost was $100.... My question being, has anyone else ever gotten this? Did they actually get the upgrade? We have cruised 7 times with RCCL and this is the first time we've gotten this. Just curious, I'd be happy with either cabin. Boston Babe and ellcee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLA Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yep, heard of this! $100 for a balcony is a good "upgrade"! Suzanne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 This is what I have been hearing about on that "other" site. Waiting lists for upgrades. Hopefully this won't happen to you, Suzanne, but the comments I have been reading say that very few people are actually getting calls to upgrade. I will keep my fingers crossed for you, too !

I read that too on the "other" site! The cynic in me is now wondering if it is a ploy to counter those of us who look for that 45-60 day price drop window. Basically, if they already knew ahead of time that they have a bunch of people willing to upgrade then they would not feel as pressured to lower their price at that window?? Pure speculation on my part here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsTryThisPlace Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I heard that the way this works is they send it to the whole category and they call once in order of acceptance to whoever takes it first. So if you take too long to accept then chances are you won't get it. Don't know for sure just from what I have seen on social media (and we all know how that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upgrades Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'd bet my upgrade on a few reasons most are thinking they aren't getting a call from the upgrade fairy...A. The number RCL calls from comes up as 'blocked' on caller ID. B. The contact number in the reservation for the guest is incorrect/old/not in service. C. The upgrade fairy doesn't leave a voicemail. Happy sailing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Still haven't heard anything....we are 21 days from our cruise. mworkman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mworkman Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hopefully you will have a different cabin number...like we did when we got upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBRSKI Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 are you booked with RCCL directly or thru a TA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klc317 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Why cant I get this lucky? lol Congrats, hope you took the upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyC Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 We got an amazing surprise call from our TA when we cruised on Quantum in 2015. The actual upgrade fairy paid a visit! RCCL called the TA to offer us an extra balcony room at no charge. We had four of us in one balcony room, so they offered us two connecting balconies that held two each at no additional cost. So the kids had one room and we had the other, we opened the balcony divider and it was AMAZING. Swore we'd never sail with the four of us in one cabin again. So what have we done? We have four of us in a junior suite on our next cruise, then we're doing for in a balcony next year for the Anthem group cruise. We're soooo not going to like it!

jrey51 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 @Suzanne Did the call ever come in? Received a similar email for my June 30 sailing, wondering how much I need to curb my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have never actually heard of anyone getting one of these upgrades. Hopefully some are getting such calls but I have not heard of any. I think this is a fairly new process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
