hmk012 Posted January 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Anyone have any luck with this? Once you get to Port can you upgrade for a reduced rate? I know in the past we've done this on Disney, but I haven't tried it with NCL before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted January 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I've never heard of anyone switching cabins while checking in at the port. I've always seen a sign stating the sailing is full, and there would be no upgrades. I think NCL makes sure it's a sold out ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2cruise1 Posted January 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The port employees that check you in have no ability to change your cabin. You would gave to go to guests services onboard to make any changes. If an upgrade is available which is extremely rare don't expect a discount.

biker@sea Posted January 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I you want to self upgrade check NCL's website for available cabins Before you sail . I went from an inside to an O/V for $60 a couple weeks before sailing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoopea Posted January 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have upgraded at the pier, but I paid what the going rate was at the time. It was really not that much cheaper. If you want a specific cabin type, I would book it early and just keep watching for a price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycarla Posted January 12, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Most ships sail full. The checkin people can not do anything, even if there are cabins available. When you get onboard, they will usually have a sign saying they are full and no changes are available. Sadly, there is a portion of the population that thinks that airlines, hotels and cruise ships have extra rooms/seats just to give away or sell cheap. Sorry, but it rarely works that way (yes, it does happen, but very, very rare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoopea Posted January 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2014 My point is that it never hurts to ask when checking in. We were directed to a different line and since they did have availability we were able to pay the difference and upgrade. I believe we paid an extra $800 to go from an inside cabin to a balcony. But, I will tell you, on our upcoming cruise on the same ship, i was able to get the same cabin upgrade for only $75. Always watch the prices, especially a few weeks before sailing and if the price goes down then call and see if you can upgrade yourself. Trying to upgrade once you are on the ship is def too late. I too have see signs posted saying they are unable to upgrade. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
