43.0. "Cabin Upgrades?" by PENUTS::SCHECOWICZ () Thu Oct 13 1988 11:28

    I am cruising on NCL's SEAWARD the 23rd of October.  I booked 	
    my cruise thru an agency in Miami, after seeing an ad in Cruise	
    Travel Magazine.  I was told my party (3 couples) would be upgraded
    at least one category.  When I received my tickets we were upgraded
    7 categories.  We went from category 13 (inside, lower level of
    ship) to category 6, promenade deck (large outside stateroom)!	
    I was wondering if anyone else has had any experiences of being	
    upgraded, or were we just lucky?

43.1We were upgraded!KOALA::FAMULAROJoe, ZKO3-2T43, DTN381-2565Thu Oct 13 1988 18:059
    Yes several times.  The most rewarding was on our 10th anniversary,
    14 day Mexican Riviera cruise on Holland America's Noordam.  We
    were upgraded from a inside/low deck/midship cabin to a minisuite
    overlooking the bow of the ship, complete with queen size bed and
    bathtub.  If we had initially booked that cabin our cruise would
    of cost us an additional $2000.
    
    Whatta anniversary gift that was.  Thanks again Holland America!

    How do rooms happen to be upgraded?
43.3THIS IS HOWSCOMAN::DUNNFri Oct 21 1988 15:5410
    I WAS TOLD THAT IF YOU BOOK EARLY YOU GET THAT ROOM UNTIL THEY SELL
    OUT. THEY WILL OVER SELL CATEGORYS THEN THE EARLY BOOKINGS CAN BE
    MOVED UP. IF YOU TELL YOUR AGENT YOU WANT TO BOOK A SPESFIC ROOM
    YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT YOU WONT BE MOVED IF YOU WANT(LIKE YOU WANT
    TWO ROOMS TOGETHER) OR YOU CAN ASK FOR JUST A GARENTEE ROOM AND
    NOT KNOW UNTIL YOU GET THERE WHAT ROOM YOU ARE IN. UASLY JUST GETTING
    A GEURENTEE THIS IS HOW YOU GET MORE THAN YOU PAYED FOR.
