Hi, Did you got to the desk and ask or did they just offer it you?I'm sure I can look it up, but how long was the cruse? Are we talking $1,000 per night for the upgrade, or $300ish? Not that it matters, I guess...!
Has anyone ever had a party of (5) or (6) that had to be in two staterooms, inquired for and paid for an upgrade and was able to put your entire group into one stateroom? I'm just curious if that's even doable (or is the second room in danger of being "cancelled") and if so, what it does to the price, since in our case we have three kids and two are being charged adult rate.
In our case, we have two VGT's, would inquire for a stateroom that sleeps 5 such as 4E or even a concierge level.
This thread will be similar to the one that is tracking *GT assignment. The hope is that once we build some history people might have a better idea of what they will pay if they seek a port upgrade.
#1. What catagory did you pay for?
(please make sure you put the catagory you paid for and not the catagory you were assigned. For *GT reservations please put whether it was IGT, OGT or VGT).
#2. Which Ship?
#3. Number of Nights?
#4. Month/Year of Sailing
#5. What was your Port of Arrival time assignment?
#6. What time did you check-in?
#7. What catagory were you offered for upgrade?
#8. How much was the upgrade?
If there is anything I left off please let me know. It would be great to get this info from anyone who has even attempted an upgrade regardless of whether you accepted or not. The more data the more prepared we will be when we attempt a port upgrade.
I've read about people going back to the desk to try for an upgrade later on, well after they board. Is it problematic to walk off the ship like that? Do they often have more availability for cheaper upgrades (I'm not referring to concierge) later on?
I only knew that was an option because there was a sign at guest services that mentioned “we are sailing with a full ship no upgrades are available”. Or something like that anyway.I have not heard of people coming off the boat to upgrade after they have boarded. That does sound problematic and not sure if that would be allowed?
I have, however, heard of people going to guest services onboard the ship and ask for upgrades after the ship has left the port.
