Creator's Key Takeaways

The risk you take when you submit an upgrade bid is similar to the risk you take when you book a guaranteed status cabin on any Cruise Line

you're then relinquishing all of that to get into the next cabin category and it might not be a case of the grass being Greener

if you have selected something that you love and you're very happy with especially in terms of location you're then relinquishing all of that

my advice is to not play the bidding upgrade game

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not bid for an upgrade if you have already selected a specific cabin location you love
Be aware that you could be placed in a worse location even though you're in a better room category
