Current e-mail regarding upsells

We are one of the many who received the recent e-mail offer to upgrade to a junior suite for a price. We did put ourselves on the list, but I'm curious if anyone has actually gotten a call to upgrade. We have been keeping our phones nearby so we don't miss the call. Are we waiting in vain?

It seems like the whole process would be so much easier if once you agreed to the email they put you on the list and then automatically did the upgrade if you were the lucky one chosen and charged you the amount you agreed to. That way people would not have to be running for the phone every time it rings etc...

How much did they want to upgrade to the Junior Suite? What type of cabin do you currently have and which ship?

Hoping someone like @Host Clarea can answer this. I just got the email asking if I want to be on the list to upgrade to a Junior suite for the Explorer Alaska cruise I have booked for June. The price to upgrade is $500. We have three of us in our current balcony stateroom, but that room is an aft cabin on deck 10, Cabin 1690. Trying to decide if we get on the list so we could have more space inside the room for the three of us, but would likely give up a lot of deck area.

Also--it says they call. Does that mean when they call I can tell them I decided to NOT upgrade and just stay with the aft cabin we currently have?

I would like the double credits..................... but that deck.............

Yes, you have the chance to decline if/when they call.

I received one of these today too for a Harmony OTS sailing in June. What are other people's experiences with these emails? Am I likely to never hear from them again, or do I have a reasonable shot at getting the upgrade?

Unless you are paying the going rate for the upgraded JS, you won't get the double points. These upsells do not confer double points, even though you end up in a JS.

I thought it was just free upgrades that didn't get the points. I always thought that if you at least paid something on a upsell you did.

Not what has been reported by folks here - any upsell for less than the going rate does not yield double points.

At one time all you had to do was pay $1.00 for an upgrade and get double points. That is no longer the case. Now it must be the going rate.

Sometimes even free upgrades get double points. We had an upgrade from an OV to a JS that we didn't even know about until we checked in...and we still got double points.

If I paid for the upgrade I would definitely expect to get double points.

I just got a call for upsell on AD from JS to GS for 7 nights for $1000. I told her it was too much money. No counter offer.

That's steep! And I'm cheap. Call came from the C&A number. Upgrade preference set to automatic :rolleyes:

I like a JS. It's a good value.

I received an email today offering the potential upgrade from a neighborhood balcony guarantee (the cabin has already been assigned, and is CP balcony) to an OV balcony for $200. Our cruise is on the Allure in May.

I'd do that for $200.

We got the email today as well... $950 to go from balcony to junior suite... sounds a little too pricey.. yikes!!

How many days and what itinerary?

I would rather keep the CP perks personally.

They seem to be asking for more $$ on the upsells.

I also got the email to upgrade from an interior to an ocean view Balcony for $150. I would do this in a heartbeat, even for twice the price. My question is, has anyone actually ever been called and gotten the upgrade?

How many days and what itinerary?

British Isles... 13 days... $950 sounds like wayyyyy too much for a junior suite that doesn't even come with any perks :(

I also got the email today. Sailing on Anthem the 31st of May. Currently in a deck 10 aft balcony (last cabin before loft suites). $800 to upgrade to a JS. I clicked the button to be added to the “list”.

I would take it. That's a good price for the extra room on a long cruise even without the full suite perks.

My limit is around $50/day for the upgrade from a balcony to a JS on a typical Caribbean cruise. The $950 exceeds that, but your cruise is not typical and you have to take that into account. I'd be included to move up to the JS in your situation since you will be on the ship so long.
