We stay in concierge a lot and about half of the time they have been upgrades at the port. Some cruises the discount has been about 40%, othertimes it seemed close to rack rate.
We love concierge because:
-can arrive whenever at port
-the lounge is a quiet place to work or read and the excellent cappucinos and tea keep us going
-dealing with concierge staff instead of guest relations
-the fix problems, like exchanging a broken princess necklace from BBB etc.
-many things are possible like late bookins for Palo, getting kids into BBB same day
-early seating for shows and free popcorn
-getting the know other guests on the ship in the lounge - lots of nights we sat and had drinks with new friends
-the sun deck and/or dedicated hot tub
-ability to order from restaurants into the room
-express walk off morning of disembarkation
-staff get to know us personally, and this makes it really nice and more intimate.
-the concierge hosts are very good conversationalists and I find that pleasant.
