I submitted 4 upgrade bids for my November 13th cruise on the Royal. This morning I got 3 emails from Princess saying that my bid was unsuccessful. From what I've read on this thread, that seemed like good news - probably my 4th one was accepted and I would get an email regarding that within an hour or two. Now it's been 10+ hours and I haven't heard anything. I wonder if the process has slowed down some, or if they are still deciding on that last one.
