Upsell From Ocean View Cabin

[Saphire]

We just booked our first ocean view (guarantee) cabin. Is it common to be offered an upsell from this category? What has your experience been? Thanks!

I wouldn't say it's common. It happens, but not predictably.

 

I usually book an obstructed-view or an outside guarantee, and in my own experience I've only been "up-sold" (as in, offerd a higher category at extra cost) once - My guarantee was originally assigned as an ocean-view, but I was offered an up-sell to a verandah (a choice of 3, actually), which I took.

 

On two other occasions I was "upgraded" (for free), and both times it happened right at check-in. The first time I was moved from an obstructed-view to the cabin right next door, which was full-view. The second time I was kicked halfway across the ship from a standard OV to a verandah. Needless to say, that one was a very pleasant surprise!

 

The rest of the time, I've gotten the cabin (or category) that I reserved with no offers or changes.
