SDadw01 Posted July 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2014 We are due to go on Oceana on 7 September, when would the 'Upgrade Fairy' be likely to pay a visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campergirl62 Posted July 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2014 We're on the Oceana the week before you. Paid Select fare so eligible for any possible upgrade but nothing so far. Still, just happy to be on a cruise where ever our cabin is. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxstaff Posted July 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2014 We are on the Azura at the end of the month, one of the cabins in our party was upgraded last week, nothing for the rest of us though. Last year on Princess we had 2 cabin upgrades in the last few weeks before travel from an inside to a balcony so they can literally happen anytime. Even know of some that have happened at check in.

Clodia Posted July 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Was upgraded on Oriana for the 11th (Friday) about 3 weeks ago from an aft balcony to a midships. This afternoon received another upgrade, to a mini suite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkNC Posted July 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not sure there is any way to predict that, I have heard of upgrades at check-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the english lady Posted July 9, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Veering slightly onto the grass. Is there now an expectation that if one has paid a select fare, you will get upgraded. I guess if you book a grade/cabin where there are lots of them on the ship, and its a cruise that is repeated lots of times(western med/fjords) there is more of a chance. Our next cruise is a once/twice a year one and all of our grade is totally sold out 4 months in advance-so I guess even if I cross all my fingers and toes the upgrade fairy will not pay me a visit,or probably anyone else booking the same grade.

wilson2579 Posted July 9, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Probably because P and O have stated select fares get upgraded first.:eek:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the english lady Posted July 10, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Which is what I was trying to get at...the perception that if you have paid a select fare you WILL get upgraded, when if there is not a grade to upgrade you to-you will not.

I have sailed many times with P and O and all of them apart from two were full price paid for a year in advance. I have only had one upgrade (inside to mid inside) which was the noisiest cabin ever. So I am not holding my breath. My interest is in whether P and O upgrade the late bookers as has happened in the past or the full paying passenger as they have promised.

Clodia Posted July 10, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well we booked a year ago because we wanted this particular cruise with friends met on previous cruises. Had upgrades before, but never two. And never a mini suite! Staying in Southampton tonight before boarding tomorrow. So excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scriv Posted July 15, 2014 #22 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Friends who had booked Select on a recent cruise received an email about an upgrade about 3 weeks before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elviex Posted July 15, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 15, 2014 We had an email today headed "booking confirmation"......funny thought I, booked a year ago....but this confirmation showed we had been upgraded on Arcadia from mini suite to suite. Sailing one week today. Just down the corridor from the original. We had an upgrade last cruise in May on Azura from one grade to another, two doors away! Next week is just a three nighter so I think we will be staying on board to enjoy the facilities! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriv Posted July 15, 2014 #25 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Oooh, lovely. Do enjoy. We would also be staying on board to get the most out of the facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
