Room Selection- Upgrading at Port

[kandt]

If there are upgrades available at port, can you select a specific room or just the category?

 

[Mommb]

If there are upgrades available in the category you request, the cast member at the Upgrade desk will tell you which rooms are available, and after you select a room, the cost. (If all of the rooms are in the exact same category, such as 4B, they will have the same cost, but if, for instance, some are 4A and some are 4B, the costs will be different.)

Thank you! Do they have a deck plan to look at?

 

[Mommb]

Yes, I think they will show you the room or rooms on a deck plan.

Are the upgrades at a discount cost?

Are the upgrades at a discount cost?

Yes, the cost of upgrading at the port is calculated using a chart showing purchased categories and upgraded categories, and is typically less than the cost of upgrading to a higher category before embarkation day.

While there is a discount I have noticed it is less and less in recent years. Upgrading at port only count the first 2 ppl in the stateroom so those traveling with 4-5 guests feel it is a much better deal than those groups of two

We asked on The Wish in September and it was available but it was the same price as it was at home, no discount

We asked to upgrade on the 12 day Mediterranean cruise this summer and it was $13k to upgrade from our VGT balcony to a concierge balcony room for 4 people. It was not worth the upgrade cost and my daughters would have had to share a queen couch bed vs the ceiling and single couch bed in the regular veranda. I don't think they are giving the deep discounts for upgrades they once were. A few years prior we paid $6k to upgrade to a one bedroom on a seven day cruise for 5 people, that was worth it.

We just got off the 7 day Southern Caribbean and got an upgrade from an inside guarantee to a veranda once the ship set sail .it was the only one left .

I have also noticed the upgrade costs have been higher than previous years. It is not the great deal it once was.

Can't speak from experience but have heard that if there are any upgrades even available, it's not that much of a discount from if you upgraded prior to arriving at the terminal.

Upgraded from a 6A to a 2B (concierge one bedroom suite) for 4k. Had looked at prices prior to sailing, and this saved us somewhere in the range of 3-4k had we booked via the normal process.
