Upgrading for Less…

Patricia October 30th, 2007

Updated to correct and clarify:

Background: Most of you know that we sold through our price protected balconies. These were balconies at $1400 (or $1380 as they were really priced, but shhh — I got a deal the first time around too) per person. Since then, I’ve been requesting price reductions on future bookings and that request is swamped in the world of “getting approval.” So, there are a few of you, all will get e-mails personally later today and you know who you are because your confirmation is at a higher price, who have a higher priced balcony cabin.

News: I was checking on prices again and I noticed something odd. It seems that the category of balconies that we are in has gone up in price AGAIN. But when I looked at the list, Concierge Class Cabins (balcony cabins with suite amenities) have gone DOWN in price. So, I pick up the phone and get adjustments for my Concierge Class folks AND I upgrade the few people who had higher priced balconies, because now the price is lower than their current balcony and they get a higher category.

Now, so the rest of my balcony folks don’t get upset — I’m going to offer you the same deal. This is while supplies last and totally optional.

  • As of today, if you have a $1400 per person balcony cabin (or if you want to upgrade from any other category), there is the opportunity to upgrade to a Conceirge Class Cabin for $1420 per person. That’s a $40 increase on the cabin for the balcony folks.
  • There is no push — if you don’t know, I’m not the pushy type by now…. — but I want to put it out there, so you can choose.
  • If you want to do this upgrade, please e-mail me at patriciab (AT) mycruiseplanner (DOT) net — replacing the (AT) and (DOT) with @ and . — I will handle them in the order they arrive…I have no idea how many are available at this rate, so it is a first come/first serve basis.
  • If you were in the small group of people I was trying to get a better rate for — I will have your NEW confirmation to you late this evening. You have already been upgraded because I thought you’d like to save money.

Who’s looking out for you? :)
