Creator's Key Takeaways
The cruise line isn't giving you a deal. They're optimizing those unsold inventories or or the categories, right?
You're not buying a room anymore. You're waving that control. You can't pick your location.
Upgrade bidding absolutely works if you're strategic and not emotional.
Not every upgrade is an actual upgrade, right? And this could be the balcony under the pool, the forward cabin with the motion of the ship.
