Creator's Key Takeaways

I was Sailing by myself and so if I were to bid the minimum bid would be fifteen dollars per person

I did I made I made three bids I've been on the ocean view the ocean view Deluxe or the bigger ocean view of the couch and then the balcony and the one I got was the ocean view

my bid was 55 dollars per guest so they charged me 110 dollars for the upgrade which I felt was not too shabby

it's worth an extra 100 bucks in my opinion

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Make multiple bids to increase your chances of getting an upgrade
โœ“Bid more than the minimum for better chances of acceptance
โœ“Check for updated luggage tags after an upgrade, as they may not be automatically provided

Not knowing how the bidding process works โ€” The process is straightforward: receive an email, choose a room category, and enter your bid
Worrying about missing out on an upgrade โ€” Bids can be accepted up to two hours after sailing, so don't assume you won't get upgraded
