I think it's great that there are instances when people do get unexpectedly upgraded....what a fun treat! We have two connected cat 8 rooms on our upcoming trip, and I think they are in the perfect location. We're forward, in a small, quiet hallway, with staterooms above and below, on deck 7. I'm pretty pleased. Unless the upgrade comes with Antonio Banderas as our room steward, I hope we're not one of the "chosen" who gets moved. I like our location, and like the connecting rooms.
Pretty easily pleased, here.
