We are staying at the Marriott Wailea in October- our honeymoon! We booked an ';ocean view'; room. Does anyone have any ideas/tips/experience with getting ';upgrades'; for honeymooners? Thanks!
Honeymoon upgrade tips
I was in Maui last month and tried to get a room updrage. Saying that it was our honeymoon. No luck! But it might of just been that they were full. In Las Vegas when they ask for your credit card I slip them a $20 and ask if you have any complimentary upgrades for honeymooners and has worked 3X in Vegas now. Room upgrades and Champagne. Wish you luck and have fun on your honeymoon.
Honeymoon upgrade tips
First they have to have a room to upgrade you to...no room no upgrade.
Next if there are rooms and they are doing upgrades they will probably go to the first people checking in that day (assuming they are nice to the front desk people). Letting them know it is your honeymoon may help some but about half the people visiting are also on their honeymoon or anniversary so that alone won%26#39;t tip the scale in your favor.
You can prety much forget the $20 bill bribe, it won%26#39;t work in Hawaii at any decent place.
Be nice, ask nice, let them know it your honeymoon. If they don%26#39;t have anything right then ask if you could get on a waiting list when a room does become available. Do not be disappointed if you do not get an upgrade after all you are in Hawaii, you are on your honeymoon and going from ocean view to ocean front is not all that big a step.
Hmm ... someone seems to have been on a lot of ';honeymoons';...
Tell them now that it%26#39;s your honeymoon if you haven%26#39;t already ... they probably will at least give you a ';congrats'; basket. Then tell them again at the front desk.
As was said, the earlier you are, the better chance you have of getting an upgrade ... but you can also ask if there is something for the next day available. Generally if there is, the hotel will just ask you to pack up your things and they will move them to the new room the next day while you are out.
