There was recently a great thead on this....maybe a search will bring it up....it was a few pages long, if I can remember....

My friend got upgraded from a 12 to a 10 this week! We sail in June.

I've been reading this forum for a long long time and I am so thankful for all the great tips!

We have a party of 19 in 6 rooms leaving on the western Magic 5/7. Our rooms were all cat 8s. We were just told this week that we've all been upgraded to cat 5s with verandahs!!!!!

How or why it happened, no clue, but with this being our first cruise, we're very very happy.

 

[crhenderson]

Hollyster, How did you find out about your upgrade?

 

[jrabbit]

The upgrade I think that I've seen the most is cat 11 to an 8 or 9. Many upgrades to a cat 6 or 7 too. Have even heard of someone getting upgraded to a cat 3 once.

We found out about the upgrade when she paid off her balance this week. The TA called in her credit card and then the DCL rep told her the room number at that time. She had booked a cat 12 and she upgraded to a 10. I am absolutely amazed at the upgrade of a cat 8 to a 5! OMG I am booked in a 8 and would never ever expect that. How wonderful!

We were just told this week that we've all been upgraded to cat 5s with verandahs!!!!!
WOW! Were any of the 8's connecting rooms origionally? Did you get any connecting rooms in Cat 5? How did you find out about your upgrade?

In May, 2003 booked a GTY got a cat 4 THAT was very nice and unexpected. We actually got docs that said Cat. 8 and 3 days before our trip our TA called and told us about the cat 4. In November, 2004 again booked GTY and got a cat 10.

 

[nluvwithmickey]

Can tou tell me if you book a GTY and look online on the DCL website if they will give you the room # or do we have to wait til the docs come in the mail?

I pay in installments, whenever I have alittle xtra$$$$ I make a payment and check this online...will the room # eventually show online when it is assigned?

I booked thru DCL.

We were upgraded from a category 10 to a category 6. Disney called our travel agent 8 days before our cruise. We had been assigned a specific cabin number 11 months in advance when we booked. Had studied the ship plans and gotten the kids all set to be on deck 2.......then got moved up to deck 7.
Either cabin would have been great, but getting an upgrade that would have cost us $1500 for free was pretty sweet.

WE BOOKED CAT 12 AND WAS UPGRADED TO CAT 10

 

[challada]

How close to sailing do you find out?

If you already have room numbers from time of booking, are you less likely to be upgraded than a GTY category?

Anyone have two rooms and get upgrades on both?

 

[mrsdon]

We were upgraded from a cat 6 (in on of the rooms the passporter says is a room to avoid),,, we didnt know at the time of booking,, to a cat 4 just 5 days before the cruise
We loved it, but the room was huge since it was just me and DH

HI CHALLADA

I DIDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT THE GTY UPGRADE UNTIL ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE OUR CRUISE.

CAN'T ANSWER THE 2 ROOMS WITH UPGRADES.

HOPE THIS HELPS

We had connecting Cat 11's that we booked on board a cruise 18 months prior, assigned staterooms and were notified 2 days before our cruise that we had been upgraded to connecting Cat 8's. It was our 2nd cruise.
