sunsetbeachgal Posted March 22, 2019 #51 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Enjoy and would love to hear your impressions! We have taken an uosell to suite once, on Holland America. It made for a very memorable Baltic cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckntom Posted March 22, 2019 #52 Share Posted March 22, 2019 To answer the question about cruise credits, when we took an upsell (not upgrade) about four years ago, we did indeed get two cruise credits each. I can see those two credits in my cruise list, so I know it actually happened. Enjoy your suite, voljeep. I know we did. And, yes, we WERE able to subsequently drop down to mini-suites and balconies, but it hurts. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted March 22, 2019 #53 Share Posted March 22, 2019 If you don't have gratuities covered as a booking perk, you will likely have the higher amount charged to your folio each day. Mini bar will be there as will the rest of the perks which it sounds like you've already found. And as you've already figured, it is best to deal with the balcony dining on board. I've always asked the Passenger Services desk folks about it and they usually have to check but have always approved the specialty dining credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted March 23, 2019 #54 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Forgot to add: when we've taken suite upsells in the past, I've gone to the Captain's Circle host / hostess and they have added the extra cruise credit. When I have forgotten to do that while on the ship, a quick email to Captain's Circle has done the trick. Hopefully that is still happening!

My return cruise isn’t till November and BE category cabins are wide open, so I can afford to wait till after the May cruise to see how many credits post for that cruise and then decide if I can, or want to change cabin type on the November leg. Right now the cruise history for my profile shows 1 future credit for the May sailing that has now “upselled” to a full suite and the November cruise shows 2 future credits as that was booked as a suite. I’ll stick with the balcony breakfast, well at least the 1/2 bottle of bubbles 😉 as it’s only a 3 day cruise and I want to try out Club class dining. That reminds me, I need to pop onto the cruise personalizer and switch from confirmed late seating to anytime.
