my3sonsnj Posted August 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm just curious how this works. I see many posts on the last minute upsells but little on upgrades during the period after final payment. Does NCL do upgrades to a higher category for the current differences in category pricing or is the upgrade cost the difference between the original price paid and current pricing? Example: Current pricing difference between an outside and a balcony is $100/pp (not guarantee in either). However, the original purchase price for the outside cabin was $200 less than current pricing for an outside cabin. Would the upgrade cost be $100 or $300/pp? Also, would promos be changed to current or would the original promos apply? Thanks to everyone than can provide some input :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince_g Posted August 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It depends... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Good answer! There surely are factors at play on their end, which will determine how your upgrade will price out. You won't know until you talk to NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't know until you talk to NCL. I was looking for member experiences one way or the other. I have spoken to my PCC on previous cruises and the answer was always the difference between price paid and current pricing. Just wanted to know if that is always the case or not. Especially when pricing on lower categories has increased significantly while higher categories haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted August 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 22, 2016 i cannot imagine an upgrade instance where you are not charged the difference in what you paid vs todays prices. what is a theoretical possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much you paid(say 2 grand ) , todays price for the cabin you want ($2500 ) = You pay $500 +/- . Edited August 22, 2016 by biker@sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my3sonsnj Posted August 22, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) i cannot imagine an upgrade instance where you are not charged the difference in what you paid vs todays prices. what is a theoretical possibility? Just thinking that if the price difference between categories was $300 originally, but is now only $100 (and lower category is almost sold out) there may be some wiggle room. Most people that weren't willing to do the $300 at time of booking, still won't. However, they may be encouraged to vacate the better selling cabins for the current price difference.

beerman2 Posted August 22, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2016 We were able to go from midship balcony Deck 10 to Spa Balcony forward Deck 15 for 248.00 Total. Just did this Sat. Night for our sailing that is a little over 5 weeks away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txagfan Posted August 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've never seen anyone post an upgrade for less than $200 or to a category below balcony. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's my impression as well. Oh well :D Anyone have a different experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If the upsell dept calls and offers you an upsell that is a different matter and there is no way to determine what cost might be at that time.)

Jember Posted August 22, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I sail on Friday on the Dawn. I noticed the price dropped $200pp for the cabin I booked. I called the other day and they upgraded me to a balcony (from an obstructed view). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqvol Posted August 23, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Reservation line or Upsell Dept? IT doesn't matter. The person you are asking was moved because what he paid was more than what they moved him into. They will always do that if space is available.

BensonFan711 Posted August 23, 2016 #16 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's the difference between what you paid and whatever you want is priced at today. This happened on my GA cruise last year with my parents, but I had to do all of the research. We booked months in advance. Around Christmas (sail date was Jan 10), I poked around at the available cabins. There were a lot of unsold spa balconies left, and we had regular balconies. I called my TA, and it was less than $10 to upgrade both rooms in our party. Done. Merry Christmas, Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
