Yea I have an extra $1400.00 laying around.... Don't you ?

This afternoon, upon returning from our sushi lunch to celebrate Cindy's finals being over, I had voice mail. As I logged onto my voicemail I heard a message from Carnival Cruise lines asking me to call about the cabin we have booked for the end of this month. I called the number and waited, praying that there was no problem which would hinder our coming cruise. Once I got the lady, who left the message on the phone she said that we qualified for an upgrade to a suite at a minimal charge.The woman asked me to go to this page

and look at the room I could upgrade to for less than one quarter of its regular price. Well the room is gorgeous so I asked what the charge would be .For a second I thought it might just be a possibility when the woman said the upgrade fee would be $350. Then she added, per day. That's $1400.00 I said. yes but look at that room she said.It broke my heart but I didn't pay this much for the whole cruise for five people so I had to decline. The woman accepted my decline politely but still I wonder, do most people actually see this as a slight upgrade fee ? After all, don't we all have an extra $1400.00 just laying around ?
