Anyone out there have experience with this particular upgrade? I love suggestions about how to present my request and keep the price as low as possible. Two more hours in a bedroom are not worth the $260 or 10,000 point list price.
Definitely ask the SCA when you board, they will have the manifest and know if someone is supposed to occupy that room after you. If no one is in the room, the conductor might let you stay.
