 This thread is going to be 4 pages long before I even get started.
Anybody think I have time for this yet. Heck I have not even brought the bags up from the basement yet to start thinking about packing. No even in the pile stage yet.
The important things are done. Got my confirmation for the bar setup yesterday. 4GB of new memory cards for the cameras. Last of the advanced dinner reservations onboard are confirmed, Edocs and luggage tags printed. Copies of everything in one very large envelope - tours, insurance, pictures for the staff and crew, airline eticket, train tickets, limo reservations, hotel reservation, passport, and the Word doc with everything I have saved about this cruise. Files, links, and email addresses moved to my laptop. ipods loaded with music and books.
All I need to do Friday morning is empty the dresser draws and closet into the bags, drop the dog at doggie prison, and head to the airport at 3:30 EDT

Friday 13th Jim upgraded.
Wednesday 18th Erna upgraded.
Friday 20th Phil upgraded.
They forgot us.
   
Then I had to leave for a business trip to the middle of nowwhere. I had to instruct Joerg to all the details especially how to check cabins everyday and what to do if the upsell fairy would send us an email.
Monday night during my conference I got a SMS: Get on the phone immediately. So I had to sneak out and by the time I reached Joerg we were already booked in an AA.
Finally the upsell fairy found the Germans.

Yes, that's why they call it the Upsell "fairy", flying around waving her wand

I also think I found a reason why I might have got the email, to avoid killing the goose that lay that golden AD I shall definately not be posting that on any board for others to copy.
I did find out a few new things about the upsell system that I have not seen on the boards, usefull things that will probably get stopped if the word is spread to far most here know(or can work it out) allready so keep it to yourselves.
I think spreading the word on the UK 2n specials killed them for us so lets hope if we stop that they will return..

Well, however you got them and whatever "tricks" you used, congratulations to all of you on the great upsells!
Have a fabulous time. Those of us stuck at home suffering with severe cruise withdrawl look forward to your reports so that we can "experience" the cruise with you. The itinerary looks great!

Ok less then 24 hours before my flight to London. Packing will start as soon as I find the dog. I brought the suitcase up from the basement and let the dog out and he hit the road. Getting dark no dog 
I am ready to pack. Two double espressos after dinner. I am sweating like a dog after running through the woods in a suit looking for one
I did manage to do my advanced checkin and grabbed an exit row isle seat for the flight over.
I will share the mystery of the upsell - at least how it worked on this cruise after I find the GD dog and get packed.
Later
