A real upgrade

I have heard stories about the upgrade fairy but did not believe.

Then.........

My wife and I went on back to back cruises on the triumph back in January out of New Orleans

The first leg was 5 days and the 2nd was 4 days.

We booked the same ocean suite for both cruises.

On the 1st port day of the 1st cruise while in port at Cozumel I got a call from carnival about upgrading to a grand suite for the 2nd cruise.

The extra cost was $180 and of coarse we did it.

This is the only time we have ever been contacted by carnival about an upgrade.

How common is it to get a upgrade offer???

Upsells happen just about every cruise. Upgrades (which are free) are rarer but do happen.

Congrats on the upsell. Sounds nice!

Upsell ............ you just busted my bubble lol . After all these cruises I thought I had got an upgrade but you are 100% correct I paid for it. Oh well maybe someday I will get a true free upgrade.

How is this an "upgrade" if you are paying extra for it? :confused:

Yeah Bob done set me straight on that one.. lol

Sorry [emoji22]. But at least you got the option. Lots of people are upset they don't even get asked to spend more money [emoji39].
