Upgrading HRH upon arrival?

[amystevekai&bump]

Has anyone ever upgraded a travel agency booked room upon arrival?

I have booked a Virgin Holiday and was wondering whether I might be able to upgrade to a 'kids suite' room upon arrival? (Virgin don't offer this type of room). Do you think that it would be possible to just pay the difference when I get there or will it be a problem, (due to it being booked via a UK company)??

thanks

you will prob find that the tour operator has the rooms at a discounted price so it might be alot to upgrade the rooms. you could always phone ahead and see what they say

thanks alot - I've phoned HRH and they have said that provided they have the room available I can upgrade at check-in!! ideal!!

its like orangetiggs said. They will take the price the TA got the room for,and take the difference between that price and the actual room price, which could be quite a bit. They will always let you upgrade as long as you are willing to pay the price
