If offered an overwater villa instead of a BPV, can anyone offer feedback over whether it's worth it compared to a standard room? Both me and the misses really value privacy.
It's a long and expensive trip. Pay for the upgrade to the room you want. You may still get an upgrade, but do you really want to roll the dice?
