Booking Guaranteed Room direct w/Carnival

[jean6060]

I have a question ....do I have a better chance of getting an

upgraded room when I book directly with Carnival vs.

using Travelocity or Costco? I am going to book a

guaranteed inside.

 

Many thanks.

Doesn't seem to make much difference.

 

Your best chance of getting upgraded seems to be paying more for your room then anyone else.

Many thanks for the reply. I should have also noted that I will

be booking 4 additional cabins...those will be balconies or oceanview. So

I think I will call Carnival direct and see what happens.

No formula to how Upgrades work, If you have been a good kid this past year the Upgrade Fairy may be kind to you. :D

Here's my take-

I reserved the awesome 2462 room on the Valor and a guarantee balcony on the Valor two summers ago. I am frequent CCL cruiser, stock holder, and had work with this same CCL PVP twice in the past.

 

So, what did I get?

I got an ordinary balcony room, no upgrade, but what was real, real bad was that this room was toward the front of the ship, about as far away as possible from my other cabin (the 2462 room). Personally, I won't deal with CCL pvp's again as I can get the same price from a TA along with a free excursion or some other spiff tossed in. The only time I have ever got an upgrade was when RCL turn my balcony guarantee in a handicap accessible balcony, which has the same space as a minisuite!
