Guaranteed cabin upgrade

[Jeter02]

So I haven't booked a guaranteed cabin since probably my first cruise way back when 15 plus years ago.

 

Just curious if you have many sailings under your belts with princess does that at all give you a better chance of a upgrade of a guaranteed inside cabin to a balcony per stay?

 

Still waiting to be assigned as is totally goes again my normal way of always booking my midship balcony. However for this random four-day cruise booking I was trying to go as inexpensive as possible considering I also have to fly out to California.

Like you, we have gone away from guaranteed cabins as we learned what we wanted. Years ago we did a lot of cruises that way. with mostly good results, several times to the next cabin type i.e. Oceanview to balcony. The new bid for upgrade process may have changed the landscape on that.

Yes the new bidding kind of has me smidgely worried. Giving me a smaller chance of being properly upgraded. Fingers and toes crossed I get a good outcome.
