are people who are getting the upgrades going through a TA for reservations, or are they folks that booked directly with DCL? I am just curious if this makes a difference for who gets an upgrade or not...

We booked through DCL but I don't think it makes a difference.

I have a theory that they are trying to clear certain areas or entire decks. Let's add a question to this and see if we can see a pattern.
If you were upgraded.....What category and deck were you in originally and what category and deck did you get upgraded to?

Sonya, you're correct, usually when they upgrade it is because there is demand for lower cabin categories and they bump folks up to make space.

And booking via DCL or a TA doesn't seem to have a bearing, I've heard of people in BOTH circumstances being upgraded. :)

I was upgraded for the Sept 14 sailing on the Magic. I had connecting category 6 cabins on deck 6 and was upgraded to connecting category 4 cabins on deck 8!!!

Does anyone know if they are giving upgrades to those who have booked through DVC? Or are the upgrades just for "paying" guests?

We booked through a TA. We sailed Sept.1 and just got home today! I originally book cat 6. we were upgraded to cat. 3 ( 1 bedroom suite). It was beautiful. :cool:

Very happy for everyone who has rec'd an upgrade :)
Our group of 16 has 5 cabins reserved for over 2 yrs on Dk 2.
This could only happen in our wildest dreams ;)

I highly doubt that i could be oh so lucky to upgrade from a CAT 4 to a CAT 3, but I guess a person can always dream! I was amazed to see on other threads that some of the $99 cruises also got upgrades...

besides, I am fearful that if I got upgraded to a 3, then i would be so spoiled, that i could only be satisfied with a cat 3 for all future cruises!:Pinkbounc

Thats how I feel. I went from a category 9 to a category 5 last cruise. When I rebooked I booked a category 5, so if I got upgraded to a category 3, I know my DH will say, lets go for a category 3 if we rebook.
