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

I'm your host Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 210.

Have you ever thought about upgrading your stateroom?

Certainly when you book a Royal Caribbean cruise, you feel pretty good about it, but inevitably, maybe a better deal comes out, maybe your situation changes, or maybe you just want to get something a little bit nicer, a little bit bigger,

and you find that you're debating it in your own mind, hmm, is it worth it to upgrade?

This week's episode of the podcast, we play that game, actually, and find a couple of examples of

folks who went through that exact scenario and lay out the setup and then share our thoughts

on would we upgrade if we were in that situation.

Here we go.

All too often as you go through the process of planning your Roller Caribbean cruise, you might run into a situation like this.

You booked a room.

You're happy with the room.

You got a great rate on the room.

But then the upgrade fairy rears her not so ugly head and says, oh, Matt, we've got a nice room for you.

It's only this much more.

And, of course, you start scratching your chin and you say, I don't know.

And then inevitably, it's an age-old question, should I upgrade?

And while we can't answer every possible scenario this

week, I wanted to kind of go through some of these scenarios that I found on the internet and

debate them right over here. And when we're debating anything, when we're talking about things

we found on the internet that must be true, I look no further than my very good friend, my cohort,

Michael Poole.
