Creator's Key Takeaways

Most people don't realize that cruise lines actually give you the opportunity to upgrade your cabin after you book.

For my upcoming cruise, I submitted a $125 per person offer to go from an ocean view cabin to a balcony cabin.

It literally said my offer was poor, but to my surprise, they accepted my offer a few days later.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Submit a bid for a cabin upgrade after your final payment.
Be flexible with your cabin location, as you won't get to choose it.
If you absolutely need the upgraded cabin, book it upfront instead of bidding.
