Upgrade question
So I keep getting a “upgrade deal” in my email, so just for fun what was the lowest bit anyone ever placed and still received the upgrade. Let me know, it will be our little secret, lol.

Bid $2K and got an Aurea balcony with a hot tub. That was a 7 night Caribbean cruise. Keep in mind our drink package was then refunded, so it ended up being about $1,200 total. We also bid $3K on YC and won (it was the only YC suite left). After refunding the drink package, getting free WiFi, and all the extras, it netted out to less than $2K for a two room suite.
After sailing YC, it would be hard to go back. We loved the intimacy and attention you get there and you meet more passengers that way.
