defbref Posted January 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'm on the Grandiosa in April and have just received the upgrade offer email, I have never upgraded previously so never looked at the offer. As this is for my 50th birthday I'm considering upgrading, we currently have a room with me and my two kids in (12 and 14) and the offer says it based on two people sharing and only the first two guests will be charged. Does that mean its ok for me to bid and only pay the upgrade price for two of us despite three of us moving to the new room (assuming we win that is) or can I not bid because I need a room for 3 ?

tweakes Posted January 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We chose not to do the upgrade offer. YC interior to YC balcony which was $640 per person minimum bid. Once I boarded, I inquired about the upgrade and we were offered (and accepted) the upgrade for €448. Much better deal! Not sure of anyone else's experience with this - certainly the capacity would make a difference and it is pretty light right now. Sorry, not your question, but wanted to throw it out there as a potential option for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmamule Posted January 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2022 That's how it works on Royal Caribbean, and they use the same company to manage upgrade offers so I think you'd be all set. They want to keep the upgrade bids reasonable because the costs add up really quickly if they charge it for more than the first two people. It's in their best interest to get some money out of you rather than nothing because it becomes too much. (Otherwise it would be cheaper to just have booked a balcony to begin with!)

Was that 448 pounds total or each? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With CDC guidelines, some people are reporting that last minute or on ship upgrades are not available. Still worth a try, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
