free upgrade better than paid

[pensi9]

I sail on the Star on 9/24. Originally had a BX guar bal 9138 assigned about 3 months prior to sail. Prices dropped a lot so I tried on Saturday to pay for an upgrade to a mini MA. When the TA/ NCL tried to do it I would lose the UBP and get the SDP instead. However they gave me a free upgrade to MX guar mini and I kept all my perks. There were only a few minis left at this point so I took it. Now I see I have MA cabin assigned. Crazy how the system works, I was willing to pay but it was better to take the free upgrade.

Good for you - enjoy! We had a minisuite on the Star last June, and it was actually larger than I espected - a very nice cabin. :)
