Just won a move up, based on email received from X, but unable to log in to see what our new cabin assignment is. App not working either. I’m sure customer service is being inundated with calls.

So, just curious. It used to be you could ask for an upgrade, or for a nominal fee, once onboard. With the new move up program, I wonder if that is still feasible? Has anyone tried lately?

So, first time for us doing a B2B. Fortunately, we have the same cabin for both. What do we need to do during turnover?

I received the balcony Caribbean offer. We have a B2B cruise planned for this month, in an inside cabin. Called the BCC customer service rep to ask instead of booking a new cruise with them, could they just upgrade us to a balcony based on the offer? These cruises were both on their list of offers. Of course, no can do since these offers are a completely different division of their regular sales depts. So, no harm, no foul as I always say. Gave it a try. Unfortunately, we are unable to use any of the remaining offers they have. Better luck next time.

When hubby and I are sailing alone, without friends, we don’t have a problem doing SD without reservations. We enjoy sitting at a table with new people every night. It gives us a chance to interact and talk with new people from different walks of life. What a good learning experience. Plus, not knowing what our day will bring and having to possibly rush to get to our “reserved” time after possibly having a busy day. Plus, there are times where we may not be too interested in either getting dressed for dining room etiquette or possibly not too keen on what they’re serving that evening. You’re on vacation. Go with the flow I always say.

So, with X now doing the move up program, I’m assuming that normal no cost upgrades are now a thing of the past? Anyone received an upgrade without having to bid on it?

Does the planner also include any OBC from your TA?

So, comment is out of context, but now thinking with X doing the move up program that it pretty much alleviates the chances of just a normal upgrade? Has anyone had an upgrade in the past without having to bid on it?
