Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog podcast, a wasly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 253.

To upgrade or not upgrade?

That is the question, is it not, right?

Have ever been a scenario in which you've been looking at what to book for your cruise,

and you realize that there's an option to spend a little bit more, maybe a lot more,

and get a lot more for your room.

And whether or not it makes sense to do so, that's a tough question.

This week we're going to talk about those kind of scenarios and debate the virtues of upgrading or not.

Here we go.

At some point in planning a roll from the increase, you may reach a proverbial crossroad where which

state-room to book becomes a more complex decision than you've experienced in the past.

Upgrading yourself to the next category serum can be very tempting, and inevitably, you may be

wondering, is it worth it to spend that money?

Back in episode 210 of this podcast, we went through this exercise of debating what was

worthwhile and we had so much fun with it, I thought we'd come back with a few more ideas

on this week's episode and helping me figure out what is and what's not worth it is a good

friend of mine that evidently loves to watch me sail away from his hometown of Tampa rather

than sail with me.

He is, of course, everyone's favorite blogger, bandana pusher, and taco enthusiast, Mr. Michael Poole.

Welcome back, Michael.

Hey, Matt.
