Carnival Cruise Line has added a new program called Be The Hero. Be The Hero is an upgrade program designed specifically for those who book their cruises though a travel agent.
If you needed a reason to book your next cruise through a travel agent, you’ll want to know about Carnival’s new program. Carnival will begin offering special upgrades available only to those who book through a travel agent. The cruise line stated that these are “upgrade offers not regularly seen”.
Here’s how it works. Your travel agent signs up with the Be The Hero program with Carnival. Carnival will send special upgrade report offers to those travel agents who have bookings on sailings with upgrade availability. If you are booked on one of these sailings, your agent will contact you letting you know about upgrade possibilities.

Once you confirm that you want the upgrade, your travel agent takes care of everything else and you get to enjoy your upgraded cabin.
What type of upgrades can you expect with the Be The Hero program? Upgrades will include moving up from an inside stateroom to a cabin with a window or balcony. Those who book an oceanview cabin may receive an upgrade offer to a balcony or suite.
Offers are based on a cruise ship’s cabin availability at the time of booking/offer. All offers have an expiration date when they must be booked by as well as are based on availability at the time of redemption.
Travel agents may begin signing up for Be The Hero today and have until April 4, 2018 to do so. Details can be found at GoCCL.com.
