Business Class upgrade?

[CASHIPman]

We’re booked on the shadow from San Francisco to Fiji in JAN24 and purchased the business class upgrade to/from Chicago. After we booked, the documentation said that business class is only on international sectors. 
(I booked directly with Silversea and the agent never mentioned that fact!)

Does anyone have any experience with this? If we’re flown Fiji-Hawaii-Chicago, will Hawaii-Chicago be in economy?

I’ll be less than happy if we shelled out nearly US$ 5K for most of the air to be flown in economy.

The international leg description for business class is clearly stated on their website and in all brochures.

The Hawaii -- Chicago leg will be in domestic first class.  That has always been my experience with Silversea Business Class flights.

The Hawaii to Chicago might be in a plane with the lie flat seats if you are on United. The Houston to Hawaii on United have the lie flat seats even though it is technically a domestic flight.

I wish it had been clearly stated by the Silversea rep.

Get the locator number, pull up the reservation and you’ll know. Might want to choose your seats too.

Yes, you can check on it via the websites or your TA.

 

Myt experience is that you will be booked Business as long as the plane has it.

The locator number is issued while the tickets still haven’t been issued. So no ability to select seats until tickets are actually paid for but SS, whether 60 days or more prior to travel.

My experience has been that once I had the locator number, I was able to pick the seat on the last three international cruise 6 to 8 months before the cruise and naturally before SS actually paid for the tickets.

That has been my experience too, Tucson
