Just got my upgrade offer email

We will be sailing on Escape October 7 in a foward facong haven penthouse suite. The offer they gave me would cost $1000 more than if I booked an aft suite on the website right now....go figure...not fond of new system..😳

In my (limited) experience, upgrading to a suite is more often a great deal if you are upgrading from a balcony or a minisuite.

Amazingly, some people will actually pay it vs booking directly.

 

Meanwhile, here is the upgrade thread.

 

What was your upgrade offer...

Did you receive a regular flat offer or an invitation to bid for an upsell?

On the same sailing. We received the offer to bid. Ironically, we are allowed to bid on several categories of stateroom that I know to be sold out. And, they're not going to open because they are filled above.

They suggest a price but you can bid less if you want

From what others have said, they hold some back for the bidding, but I don't have a clue, this is all new to me
