544.0. "Maximum Upgrade !" by ODIXIE::PFLANZ () Sun Jan 14 1996 20:49

    I have just been made a very happy man.....A little over one year ago I
    booked a Princess Cruise which would last ten days and travel the
    Hawaiian Islands and cross the Pacific to Ensenada, Mexico.  We were to
    leave on February 25th.
    
    On Friday, Princess called me and asked if I would be willing to give
    up my room and reservations for a great deal on another cruise.  They
    offered me a choice of three cruises.  Two were 13 day round trips from
    London, England.  One was to Scandanavia and the other to Western
    Europe.  The other choice was a 19 day from Puerto Rico to Athens,
    Greece.  We would stop in Madeira, Spain, Gibralter, Cannes, France,
    with a trip to Monte Carlo, two stops in Italy, Florence/Pisa and Rome,
    and two stops in Turkey, Instanbul and Euphesus.
    
    I obviously opted for the 19 day trip.  They promised me the best
    available room and a refund of $1500 from my Hawaiian Cruise.  The best
    available room has turned into a Category A Suite.  My travel agent
    said she never heard of such a deal.  
    
    They said they were overbooked, but I suspect a group wanted to occupy
    our room and those surrounded us. I may have to wait another 45 days from when we expected to
    leave, but this is great.
