Upsell to suite

[azbirdmom]

To all the people who have received an upsell offer. Are you all past customers or was it a 1st time on Princess for anyone?

 

 

We cruise quite a bit on Princess but I'm not sure what triggers the upsell offers. We've gotten quite a few though and mostly book mini suites but a couple of times booked a suite outright. This is what the offer said:

Got a email for a upgrade from a balcony to a mini suite for $99 per person on the Majestic. I think we will stick to what we have, as looks like the balcony is smaller than what we currently have on our aft facing cabin. (although the cabin looks larger). We are previous customers.

Our offer came after I booked our 2nd Princess cruise. We have sailed in full suites since then.

Usually they are in an oversold condition and have to find cabins to fill those with unassigned GTY bookings.

I have accepted last minute suite up sell and it was definitely worth it. The experience is a whole lot better and you are getting the suite for far cheaper than the discounted brochure fare on most occasions. I only had to pay an extra $800 for a 10 night cruise on what the brochure fare had for over $10,000 in that category.

We are willing to pay extra for a suite because we so much enjoy the extra room to spread out. We spend much of the cruise in the stateroom. This is how we like to travel.

In many instances it is surprising just how quickly the suites are sold out on many ships. I'm a Cunarder at heart and I just checked the Queen Elizabeth's 2018 World Cruise and it is showing Sold Out in Queens Grill already. So if you are offered an upset I would say take the opportunity whilst it is there.

 

A couple of weeks ago I booked the last suite available on the Crown for a sailing later this year. They often get "snapped up" very quickly.
