Pay for a 1A get a 6C for the same price. so to speak. Or pay for a 6B get a 9A
get an ocean view for an interior price
get a balcony for an ocean view price.

It means the same size room, but closer to the middle of the ship. You see, most people prefer the middle of the ship because you feel less movement in the middle. So, these upgrades do not mean a whole lot. A good upgrade is like from a balcony to a mini suite, something like that.

cruises have different categories in the same level. it has to do with the accessability of the rooms the and the bigger rooms. if you re upgraded sometimes you get a bigger room, or a better location

Typically the upgrades are within the same category but higher up on the ship, so for instance you book and oceanview cabin on deck one and they bump you up to an oceanview on deck three. I have never heard of an upgrade on the same deck as everyone in the same type of room on the same deck pays the same price, so if you want to move just ask. Sometimes you can get a category upgrade but that is rare because of the financial costs. If you are a past guest your chances for a decent upgrade greatly imporove. I generally purchase the category I want with the cabin to be determined. As a past guest I have always ended up in better than the lowest priced location for the category I purchased, which is what I paid.

Cabins are priced based on location and view. An upgrade is done not as a favor to you but to sell more rooms. By moving you to a better room they can resell the lower price ones. I booked a room on the Golden Princess to Hawaii in January. I paid for a guarantee in class HH which is the lowest price outside cabin with an obstructed view. A couple of days later they assigned a room to me in class DD which is 8 categories up. It is now unobstructed and I probably saved about $800.
