Sometimes, you may be presented with the opportunity to upgrade your cruise ship cabin. At first thought, why wouldn't you want to move from an interior room to an ocean view or from a balcony to a suite?
While some cruise lines will simply email you an offer, others -- such as Royal Caribbean -- allow you to place a bid for a nicer cabin. Usually, you will pay less for the nicer stateroom than you would if you were to book it outright.
If you worked with a travel agent, they will often inform you of any available offers, too. In fact, I recently had my travel agent email me an offer for an upcoming sailing onboard Carnival Celebration. I did not even have to check!
Savings hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars on a spacious suite sounds like a dream, right? Well, there are some reasons why you should decline a cruise ship cabin upgrade.
