Hello, I asked onboard for a paid upgrade on my cruise, they asked more than the bids were.
I was in an interior, they quoted me 1000$ to balcony, so I kept my money.
I don't understand their revenue management. I could upgrade from interior to balcony choosing the cabin for 850$ before the cruise, then they "allowed" me to bid at least 450$pp to get a random balcony and then they wanted 500$ pp onboard, when its less convenient for me to move and they aren't getting anything from the room. I would have spent around 500$ total max, which was direct benefit as I imagine the costs are the same for them, but I spent them on land instead.....
We were 276 people on the ship, so plenty of space available....
