Do you think this was a good deal?

Hi everyone. This is our first cruise so I made sure I did a lot of searching on these great boards for little tid bits I didn't know about. We read on the boards here about checking on whether the cruise (Fascination) was being advertised for less than what we paid. Well..turns out it was so we printed out the page from Best Price Cruise and saw that our cruise booking was at least $30 less per person. We went to the TA to pick up our documents and pointed out the difference in price and she called Carnival. CArnival offered an upgrade from our 5A to a category 6D. So we went from the Riviera deck to the Empress Deck. We accepted this upgrade and were also assigned our cabin number. Do you think this is the best upgrade we possibly could have gotten or should we have held out for a better one? LOL. We were just excited to have an ocean view room versus our original porthole, but for future cruises we like to have a heads up :)

Another question...by accepting this upgrade, should we now assume that our guarantee from early booking has been fulfilled? Any help with any of this would be great!!! :)

Thanks in advance ;)

If you think it is a good deal it is .. That is a better deck .. You could also ask them for a shipboard credit

squeaky wheel gets the grease..

Considering you say it was only a $30 per person difference I see nothing wrong with the upgrade you got. You have to decide if it is worth the time and hassle for you to get your TA to try for more.

Happydreamer--

Your 'guarantee' status has been fulfilled. You have a cabin, and an upgrade to boot.
Best wishes on your first cruise!


Sara Lee--

Just curious as to why you are suggesting that the poster ask for a shipboard credit? I certainly do not see where any type of credit is warranted when they have received above and beyond what was paid.


Enjoy the day!

I agree with Sea Turtle, it was only a diff. of $30.00 and an upgrade was given I think this is fine. They are getting a better cabin than they orig. paid for and there was not a big price decrease, so yup you got a good deal.Enjoy :dance
