AmaWaterways stateroom upgrade program provides our guests an opportunity to place an offer to upgrade their current purchased stateroom to a higher category by submitting an offer amount for their selected category(s). Single occupancy guests will pay 200% (double) the chosen bid amount. This program only applies to FIT and Group reservations, not applicable to Charters, industry rates and other special rate reservations. Guests may participate in this program only if they have received an email from AmaWaterways inviting them to bid for an upgrade. Submitting an upgrade offer does not guarantee an upgrade nor does this program guarantee availability in a particular stateroom category or specific stateroom number. Offer is not final unless and until AmaWaterways officially accepts the offer. Guests will be notified via email if their request has been accepted. If the offer is accepted, the guest will be charged in full for the upgrade amount; the stateroom upgrade amount paid is final and non-refundable. If the offer is not accepted, the guest will travel in the stateroom category originally purchased, and their credit card will not be charged. If multiple staterooms are travelling together, AmaWaterways cannot guarantee that all reservations will be upgraded, if any, or that all the upgraded staterooms will be close together. If the guest’s itinerary and/or cruise embarkation date change after their upgrade has been accepted, their offer will be cancelled, will not be transferred to their new itinerary and the upgrade amount paid will be non-refundable. AmaWaterways reserves the right to correct any errors or omissions at any time. Other restrictions apply; visit www.AmaWaterways.com/nz/terms-conditions/booking-sales for full terms and conditions.
