jdvmd Posted November 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Curious if anyone has booked a Sail Away rate and gotten an upsell offer. If you did, what was your offer? Did you wish you had booked a better cabin from the outset to include bonus offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolocruiserMA Posted November 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I did. Bid and was accepted $65.00 PP from Inside Guarantee to Balcony Guarantee on the 8/25 Bermuda cruise from Boston. Worth it for the balcony alone. (non drinkers here) so did not need the drinks package. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luv2kroooz Posted November 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Me too. Booked Sailaway interior on Breakaway just a few days prior to sailing. Offered $50 per person to upsell to balcony and it was accepted. Ended up in a B2 on Deck 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser man 60 Posted November 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2017 We got a sail away rate on a balcony which includes drinks package plus all service charges. After final payment we got invite to bid on a suite, but we are happy with cabin allocated so are not going to bother bidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser man 60 Posted November 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Sail away rates booked in UK include drinks package and all service charges but not any other perks such as phone minutes etc which we're not bother about as just ring onshore using free wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmarnnurse Posted November 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Curious about this, also. As a retired RN, I am now free to cruise last minute, and take advantage of the Sail Away rates. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted November 20, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted November 20, 2017 When you get an offer, it is my understanding that you bid on whichever categories you want and they give you a suggested bid. Has anyone gone from an inside guarantee to a mini or full suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycarla Posted November 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2017 When you get an offer, it is my understanding that you bid on whichever categories you want and they give you a suggested bid. Has anyone gone from an inside guarantee to a mini or full suite? There is a long thread about upgrades, but... You can bid on the next two levels. So, from inside to Oceanview and Balcony. Not so much a suggested bid, but a minimum and a maximum. Pick a number anywhere in between and then wait and see if you bid more than others.

Has anyone gone from an inside guarantee to a mini or full suite? This isn't an option, only the next 2 categories, however- the Epic doesn't have outsides, so possible exception. :) I got offers on both Epic cruises I was just on, but dumped them in the trash as wasn't interested. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
