Got my upgrade bid - with a cool / funny catch!

So I booked an inside cabin for DH and I - we booked 19 days in advance, leaving the 18th on the Dawn. I got the offer to bid for an upgrade to either an OV or a Balcony, so I put in an offer on both. We got the OV! I look it up - Room 6502! I look up the pic....LMFAO!

 

There are only 4 rooms on Deck 6, right outside the Theater and the Casino....

 

But then I read the reviews and people LOVE this / these rooms! The room never really matters on a cruise - we're on a CRUISE! LOL! Can't wait to have this different location!

This should be extraordinary experience for you, esp. that you booked a last minute cruise!!! I would LOVE to hear your thoughts about staying in one of those 4 "in of the way" cabins!!

 

A couple of years ago we booked a last minute Breakaway CTN 2 weeks before with Inside GTY. A few days before cruise we got a BA balcony cabin!!

 

Then, I booked about 2 months before, a large balcony mini-suite (M6) on Breakaway for this past March 2017 Breakaway cruise for DH's 70th ... received an invite to bid for a Haven cabin. I placed low (after seeing that there was a lot of H5 available), and guess what? 5 days before cruise we won the bid and got the "worst" cabin ever for the non-spring chickens - 15100, lol. BUT we had a great cruise and DH was soooo delighted to have spent his 70th in Haven!

 

We had great steward and butler - and they laughed when I told them about the low bid and getting the further-most cabin!

I stayed in one of those rooms and loved it! It was surprisingly quiet and very private.
