davis2nd Posted August 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I booked through Expedia and just curious if I have the possibility of an Upsell call or am I out of luck since I didn't book with Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted August 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2012 First your not supposed to say the name of an outside TA. They would have to call your Ta and than the TA would have to be willing to call you. They might or might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdkndy Posted August 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2012 That is a crap rule. :rolleyes: I booked through Delta, Avis, and my hotel through Priceline! Who gives where we booked through? It's not like they are pushing business over there, they are just stating the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc5grw Posted August 20, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2012 And that's exactly why I don't book with a TA unless it is something really simple that I get a deal on. You lose way to much control of the booking. Being the control freak I am about these things it just doesn't work for me. In the pre-internet days it made sense, but no longer really.

MegnJoe Posted August 20, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I was wondering the same thing. I booked directly on the Carnival website (first time booking a cruise, and it seemed like the easiest way). Will I still potentially have the option for an upgrade?

davis2nd Posted August 21, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Didn't even realize about not posting the TA name, sorry. As to actually going through an online TA vs Carnival I have had better deals both times I have booked a cruise (only been on one with another coming up) through the online TA. I know people say they cannot have a lower rate but they do. Both times the identical cabin was $50 cheaper and both had OBC offers. My cruise in May had a $100 OBC and the one I just booked had a $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love_to_cruise83 Posted August 21, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Sometimes the rules here may be silly, but I think we should atleast try to follow them since cruise critic is free and full of valuable information and of course comedy and it's free :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
