Upgrade fairy - Junior Suite on Paradise for $1000 more! Um, no thanks!

So never having received an upgrade offer before, I finally got one. We are booked in an Oceanview on Main deck of the Paradise for our cruise to Cuba. Got an email offer to upgrade "to a suite", with this image (hopefully it shows up, appears to be a regular stock image off their website):

Offer was for a Junior Suite on the Verandah deck. That image isn't a Junior Suite!

Beyond that little mis-representation, the upgrade price of an added $1000 is about the same as if I just booked a JS from the start.

And we looked at what a JS really was: a balcony cabin with a slightly bigger room with couch. Yeah, no, we'll keep the $1K and maybe take a 3 or 4-day on Liberty with the Cheers package for that money instead!

Too much money! I too would have declined this offer.

Happy sailing!

Not a good upsell at all

Might think about it if it was one of the new junior suites on deck 14, but not the originals on verandah deck. EM

Sounds like a great deal!!!

For carnival anyway.

Like you said that's another cheapo cruise.

Carnival has the WORST "suite perks" at sea. But, they do have more spacious regular cabins than most....

$1,000? [emoji23]

The upgrade fairy has been a little stingy lately... More like an upgrade troll.

What a joke. $1000

No thanks

That's an offer I can definitely refuse ! :D:D;p

Got an offer last night to move from our deck10/Lido balcony room on Magic down to an Ocean Suite on deck 7 for a total of $460. I declined as that "special" rate for an ocean suite was about the going rack-rate for it back when I had booked out cruise. Rather keep our Lido location and we were able to snag FTTF so we'll save the $460 for elsewhere...

We are on the Paradise next May in one of the Jr Suites on deck 14, and I am fairly certain the difference between an OV and our cabin was not that much from the start.

I think you made a wise decision about the upgrade "bargain."

$500 per person? I would have jumped on it, if the cruise were 14 days or longer.
