This was my thinking also, why would the cruise line move an inside all the way up when they can get a cascading effect by moving an ocean view to a balcony, an inside to an ocean view, etc. Plus, it would seem you are incentivizing people to purchase the cheapest cabin, then have them try to get a higher cabin on the cheap. The reason for my question is that I booked an ocean view as it was the cheapest available however it is $1500 more than an inside. So if an inside becomes available before final payment, I thought about moving down, then using the $1500 difference in price between the 2 to bid up to a balcony. However, it looks like from what is said, doing that could limit my bidding options, so I may not take the risk. By the way, thanks for all the responses, much appreciated.

Browsed through the last 10 or so pages and couldn't find the answer. Does having a higher cabin effect anything in the bidding process, such as minimum bid or odds of getting the upgrade? What I mean by this, if I have an inside cabin and bid for a balcony and someone has an ocean view cabin and bids for the same balcony, does the inside cabin still win if their bid is higher?
