Creator's Key Takeaways

they're choosing the cabin from that point so if you booked your cabin to make sure you're not uh below the pool area and you're not above the theater or you're not near the elevators

if you think you're going to get it for $40 uh going from an inside cabin to Havana Suite you're you're sorely mistaken

I saved $413 by them offering me the upgrade than me paying it in advance

never ever say that you're willing to upgrade because you will go from an UPG an accessible cabin to a non-accessible cabin

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the risk of not choosing your cabin location when accepting a complimentary upgrade.
Be aware that bid upgrades are competitive and may require a high bid to win.
If you have an accessible cabin, never agree to an upgrade as you may lose accessibility.
