Creator's Key Takeaways
I started out with an interior well I have the virtual balcony interior and then I bid on the Ocean View and uh got it
I would always before you bid on a room go to the website and see what that rate is going for on that actual room
If you get accepted your your bid gets accepted there's no backing out at that point you're you're automatically charged and that's it
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Research the actual rate for the room you want before bidding
✓Check Facebook groups for upgrade chatter to gauge competition
✓Bid the minimum if you want to save money, but be aware you might lose to higher bids
✓Remember the bid price is per person, not per room
✓Consider that upgrading may increase your gratuities
🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:
Not knowing what the upgraded room will look like — Watch YouTube videos to see the actual room differences before you bid.
Risk of losing money on a bid — Do your research on the actual room rates and consider if the bid is worth it compared to just booking the room outright.
