Creator's Key Takeaways

If your ship is not fully booked, most cruise lines will offer you the opportunity to upgrade to a better cabin class prior to your cruise.

You will not be able to pick the cabin location if you are awarded an upgrade.

Upgrades are never guaranteed, so you will typically not find out if your bid is accepted for the upgrade until right before the cruise sales.

If you bid on an upgrade and your bid is accepted, you will automatically be charged the price that you bid for the upgrade and you cannot go back to the previous cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider cabin location restrictions before bidding on an upgrade.
✓Understand that upgrades are final and non-refundable.
✓Check if your purchased packages will be refunded if upgraded to a cabin that includes them.
