  In the extremely unlikely event that you're planning to go on a Virgin Voyages cruise AND you're trying to make sense of the bid-to-upgrade system... boy, do I have a blog post for you. https://bendaubney.com/understanding-virgin-voyages-level-upgradebidding-system/ This is a summary of eighteen months of careful observation and deduction.
