Submitted 3 different Haven bids for our cruise on the Escape, departing Civitavecchia on August 3. I've seen a couple folks whose upgrade bids for balcony cabins were accepted already. I am also tracking which cabin classes appear sold out, and all the classes we bid on appear sold out, when earlier this week there were a number of cabins available. Is it common for upgrades to be awarded from the lower class of cabin first and then shuffle to the higher class of cabin? And is it common for cabin classes to appear sold out once they start awarding upgrades, or is it only if they are purchased outright?
Just trying to figure out if lots of folks are taking advantage of a last minute deal, or if upgrade awards are resulting in all these recent "sold out" notifications. For what it's worth, all three of our bids still say "pending" - the largest bid (still boardering on "poor" for us) is grouped separately at the top of the update page.
