Creator's Key Takeaways

It's really important to understand that many of these upgrade emails that you get where you get a chance to bid on a higher grade or you get offered the chance to pay to upgrade, it doesn't necessarily mean that the cruise line has those cabins available.

Most of those are automated. They're sent out to everybody and it doesn't mean that the cabins are free.

One of the things that I always do when I receive those upgrade emails if I'm interested is I have a look and see if the cruise line is showing those cabins as free.

Be that inside ocean view or the lower balcony cabin grades. Those are the easy to sell if they have inventory available.
