The Truth Behind Cruise Upgrade Offers! #shorts

0:00
Here's something that very few people
0:01
know when you receive one of those
0:04
emails to bid or pay for an upgrade in
0:07
the run-up to your cruise. I was asked
0:09
about this recently. It's really
0:10
important to understand that many of
0:12
these upgrade emails that you get where
0:14
you get a chance to bid on a higher
0:15
grade or you get offered the chance to
0:17
pay to upgrade, it doesn't necessarily
0:19
mean that the cruise line has those
0:22
cabins available. Most of those are
0:24
automated. They're sent out to everybody
0:27
and it doesn't mean that the cabins are
0:29
free. One of the things that I always do
0:31
when I receive those upgrade emails if
0:32
I'm interested is I have a look and see
0:35
if the cruise line is showing those
0:37
cabins as free. But bear in mind what
0:39
cruise lines are really trying to do is
0:40
they're trying to get everybody to shift
0:42
up a grade if there are cabins at the
0:44
top because it's easiest for them to
0:46
sell the entry- level cabins. Be that
0:48
inside ocean view or the lower balcony
0:50
cabin grades. Those are the easy to sell
0:52
if they have inventory available. So,
0:55
they want to shift everybody up so they
0:56
make more money and they can sell those
0:58
cheapest cabins. So, when you receive an
1:00
upgrade offer or a chance to bid, it
1:03
doesn't necessarily mean that cabins are
1:05
actually available. So do bear that in
1:07
mind if you're looking at bidding.
