First time I've accepted an offer from a cruise line to upgrade that cost me $. This time on the Grand Princess north bound from Vancouver to Whittier in a week. I had a Baja balcony BB with internet, gratuities, drink package. The offer was a Club Class mini-suite on Dolphin M1 + retained internet, gratuities and drink package all for $199 pp/$398 wife and I. 7 nights, so about $28 pp per day. We don't drink, so I'll give the wine away. Maybe Class Club dinning, in MDR but different section, will be worth it. We will see.
Only downside, balcony is not covered, and we are cruising AK 😬. If you see a guy in a rainsuit with binocs standing in the rain on Dolphin deck on his uncovered balcony, that's me getting my money's worth. 😁
My wife and I have not had a vacation together in 2 years and last cruise was in 2018, so I decided to take it, what the heck. It's only $$$ (I have not told her yet...).
Let's see how it goes. Safe travels everyone.
