Hi
I booked a guaranteed inside suite for about $944 USD for 2 People Total plus hotel fee. I have now been offered to bid for an upgrade and am a bit confused by it. If I say bid on something higher (like a balcony) and bid $1000 will I now be paying $1944 USD or does my inside suite purchase get refunded?
I would think I would be paying the total of both, but when looking at the bidding values, I'm just not seeing much value if this is the case. I just checked for me to book a Deluxe Balcony on my ship with choice of room would be around $1945 total for 2 people.
The lowest bid I can do for deluxe balcony is $965 total for 2 people. If I add my original cost plus this bid cost what is rated of "poor" chance of getting I would pay total $1909 so $35 less but to get an "excellent" shot of getting it I would need to do $1,125 total which would end up $124 more than I would have paid.
Only thing that might seem like a deal is they have a MSC Yacht Clue Interior Suite with a "Strong" bid of about $2,000 so plus my $944 is would be about $3,000 to book the "suite" would be $4,700.
Though I am not sure if they are even the same thing as the picture of going through the booking looks like it is a balcony and large room. The one that I would bid for looks like my guaranteed inside suite from the pictures yet costs $2,000 more.
Am I missing something?
