our next cruise is on CB in November - we have a deluxe (true aft) balcony on Baja that our price is currently below the website price (those cabins come and go as available, guarantee, or sold out).
we have no desire to upgrade/bid on a mini or cc mini (don't like the shower/tub) combo. There are currently no suites showing as available, so, as for now we are set. If a suite 'did' become available, we would have to decide what that 'value' would be to us over a 5 day cruise. Our one and only, so far, suite was an 'upsell' which now looks like those may be a thing of the past.
