I don’t understand that. What does this mean? Why cashback?

That your agent clearly does not know MSC well; they are not going to bump someone from a Fantastica Balcony with a bid on Aurea Whirlpool to Yacht Club Inside.... 🤷‍♀️  So the poster hopes that, at least, you got some nice on board credit from your travel agent instead (given their lack of product knowledge)

DAWG! Where ya bin, long time no see. 
 

I don’t care if I don’t win the bid for a suite with whirlpool, I just wouldn’t want to be “upgraded” to a yacht club interior or balcony. If anyone has had an experience with bidding on a whirlpool, do they actually get one if they win. 

I’d take a YC balcony upgrade all day long..have 3 sailings there, won’t go back to non YC

The agent felt a YC inside was higher than Aurea with whirlpool. Other posters on here don’t all disagree. I can understand the argument. Yes the agent is new to MSC but I don’t think that they’re necessarily wrong. And going by the MSC upgrade terms, you could easily interpret the fine print as meaning “YC anything” is higher than all non-YC

 

anyway all good, I got an aft balcony instead 🙂
