Legend Upsell for sailing in 2 days

[pjhootch]

I normally resist upsells unless it is a screaming deal-

 

But I was tired when I got the call this afternoon and my will power was weak.  LOL.   We leave on the Legend Saturday and had an inside aft cabin booked on deck 8.  I was okay with the location under serenity deck.  Aware it could be noisy with deck chairs and such.  We had one of the sideways cabins that feels more spacious than a regular inside cabin.  But this is a partial transit of the Panama canal and decided to go ahead and pay to move up to an 8K balcony on deck 8 when the sales call came.  I saw the 305 area code and knew what the call probably was about.  It may be noisy but nothing compares to being right above the disco (did that on a Journeys cruise one time and it was hysterical when the bass started thumping).  Since this is an 8 day cruise and there are only 2 port days, I will really enjoy the balcony.

 

I looked at balcony prices when I booked and they were pretty crazy- so this is a much better deal than if I had booked it at the start although  quite a bit more than our inside room cost.  🙂

 

I am pleased with it- although feel a little silly after telling my husband we were sticking to a budget!  Oh well- life is meant to be enjoyed and I will just have to work a little more when the cruise is over!

Way to go and enjoy that extended balcony!

Lucky you!  We will be sailing with you, and are looking forward to enjoying our balcony.  It should be great when going through the canal.

Congrats!  Yesterday I took an upsell offer as well.  First time I ever got a decent offer, went from an inside to an L shaped room with extended balcony on Conquest for $175 total. Strange thing is that the cruise doesn't leave for 11 months. I thought they would wait to see what sold before making these offers.

I have to ask, your original booking...was it with a casino promo?  Ever since I have been doing casino promos I do not get the calls to upgrade.  It has been like seven past cruises.  Prior to that I always got them.

we are doing the Legend Panama Canal in May.  i dont think there will be an upsales since the ship is sold out and no longer shows up on the CCL booking site.

Yes, actually. I booked this with a premier offer.  The sales person did say something about my name coming up for the call.possibly because I had checked balcony rates a few weeks ago.  Which I did- and prices were brutal at the time.
