Cruise 'Upgrade' is a TRAP! Check Your Cabin!

Creator's Key Takeaways
Cruise lines often reclassify existing rooms mid-season, changing the labels, not the rooms. A deluxe ocean view might be the same square footage, the same view, and even the same deck
By calling it an upgrade, they make you feel rewarded, even if you've simply been moved sideways. And sometimes the new location is worse, under the pool deck, near the nightclub
Always check your new cabin number before you accept the change. Open the deck plan on the cruise lines website or app.
