I must be dense. When trying to book a room, I get these options (in this order):
Superior
Deluxe
Harbour View
Deluxe Harbour View
Deluxe Junior Suite
Executive Suite
Deluxe Suite
I'm an Platinum Ambassador and was planning on using a BOGO. Is it conventional wisdom that I won't be upgraded to a Deluxe Junior Suite if I book a Deluxe Harbour View? If so, is it correct that I might as well book the Harbour View and get an upgrade to Deluxe Harbour View. Or does that not even happen?
