Disney upgraded us from a Cat. 7 to a Cat. 5!!!

[Dalmatian]

Just received a call and we were upgraded to a Cat. 5 from a Nav. Verandah room (Cat. 7). They were making changes and called to see if we would mind. We are so happy - anyone stay on Deck 7 in a Cat. 5? Will we be pleased with it?

So, this just happens out of the blue? Or, were you on a waiting list or something?

 

[Dalmatian]

No I wasn't on any list - maybe the ship is not full I don't know but we are thrilled.

Congratulations -- when are you traveling?

 

[smchan]

Nice!

Which cruise are you on?

Congratulations! When are you going?

We have always booked a cat. 5 and love it! Couldn't imagine not having a verandah. We've found it to be very quiet.

 

[ImMarcik]

Wow congratulations!!! That is great.

Lucky you!

I had never had any type of veranda, but on the sept 18th eastern had cat 5 on deck7. We loved the location. Only two floors up to the pools, and two floors down, kids club. We took the stairs to eat, we tried ( and failed) to burn off those extra calories

All in all, I think you should love it. The only problem for us now is going back to a porthole...lol

Have a great Cruise

Hey, I just upgraded my ressie from a cat.9 to a 7 - as a surprise to dh. I wouldn't mind a complimentary DCL upgrade!!

We're on the 11/27 voyage.

Scrappy, make sure to give me your updated information so I can change it on the "master list".

Congrats Dalmatian on your upgrade!

Congratulations!!!!

We're on the 10/24 Wonder and we received a call that we have a complimentary upgrade from a category 6 to a category 4!!! It's so exciting!!! I was bouncing off the walls when they called!!!

 

[Scrappy520]

Wow, TCmata - that is great!!! I'd be bouncing off the walls too if I was offered an upgrade like this.

Enjoy!

tcmata, Congatulations on your upgrade. Was your cat. 6 room a gty room?, or were you given a room number when you booked? TJHUTCH.

 

[tcmata]

TJHutch,

We had a gty room. This is our 3rd cruise, but first upgrade.

Congratulations on your upgrade.

We've been upgraded once as well (from Cat 3 to Cat 1). I found it odd that they would call us to offer the upgrade rather than simply assigning the upgraded cabin. When I asked why they called I was informed that some passengers had complained about being upgraded!

I can think of a few reasons why some cruisers might not want a different catagory than they reserved (don't want a balcony with children or want one side of the ship vs the other)...but I have to admit that I've never met an upgrade I didn't like.
