1emerald1 Posted January 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That's not a good upsell in my opinion. Last year on the Royal, 10 day Caribbean I accepted an upsell from a deluxe balcony to a mini for $149PP. I've also read lots of threads for this year's Caribbean season where folks in interiors are receiving free upgrades to balconies. I would call Princess and ask for a comp upgrade to a balcony, doesn't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrongwaywatson Posted January 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Several people on our Roll Call for this same cruise, leaving March 30th, have gotten free upgrades from inside to balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyboy Posted January 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2018 On the Regal previously, our upsell offer was $159 from inside to deluxe balcony for a 12 day sailing. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D&N LUV 2 TRAVEL Posted January 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The only Royal cruise I see on February 28 is a 20 day cruise. This is an inside to a balcony. We are on the Feb 28th sailing and it was sold as a 10 day cruise. I believe if you do the 20 day the one week you do the Aruba itinerary and the next week the Barbados itinerary.

You must be the 1st ones they have contacted hoping you change. The price will come down as they become desperate for your category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susancruzs Posted January 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Sounds similar to what happened before my Royal transatlantic in October. Sailing single, what sounded like an o.k. deal, wasn't when I realized I had to pay double. I kept my inside cabin. When I checked in, I got my first upgrade to an obstructed deluxe balcony cabin on Emerald deck, a few cabins from my chosen location. I was pretty happy, and thankful I didn't pay the extra for the offer. Cruising since 1982, some 30 cruises half with Princess, my first upgrade! :) I did have a small suite on the Norway one time but because my cabin flooded rather badly and they had to move several cabins.

PoohUnderstands Posted January 24, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 24, 2018 We are on the Feb 28th sailing and it was sold as a 10 day cruise. I believe if you do the 20 day the one week you do the Aruba itinerary and the next week the Barbados itinerary. Nope, we are on the March 10th cruise on the Royal. Its itinerary is Princess Cays, St. Thomas, Martinique, Grenada, Bonaire, Aruba, and back to Ft. Laud. We have had no free or upsales to my knowledge. But then I am already in a CC mini.
