I don’t know about Princess in particular but from what I understand the bidding algorithm seems to look for the most money. While a bid may be higher it may not represent the most profit.

 

There may be more money in moving an inside to an outside, the outside to a balcony etc. 

This was my thinking also, why would the cruise line move an inside all the way up when they can get a cascading effect by moving an ocean view to a balcony, an inside to an ocean view, etc. Plus, it would seem you are incentivizing people to purchase the cheapest cabin, then have them try to get a higher cabin on the cheap.

The reason for my question is that I booked an ocean view as it was the cheapest available however it is $1500 more than an inside. So if an inside becomes available before final payment, I thought about moving down, then using the $1500 difference in price between the 2 to bid up to a balcony. However, it looks like from what is said, doing that could limit my bidding options, so I may not take the risk.

By the way, thanks for all the responses, much appreciated.

Browsed through the last 10 or so pages and couldn't find the answer. Does having a higher cabin effect anything in the bidding process, such as minimum bid or odds of getting the upgrade? What I mean by this, if I have an inside cabin and bid for a balcony and someone has an ocean view cabin and bids for the same balcony, does the inside cabin still win if their bid is higher? 

Deck 9 and our muster location was the casino.

Fuddruckers also puts egg on a burger, it is fantastic. Is this going to be available on the Panorama at launch?

Got on the Panorama last minute for the New Years cruise.  I had to get a Guaranteed 1A as it was that or a very expensive balcony.  Really hoping for an upgrade or reasonable upsell as me and my wife don't want to sleep on bunk beds. lol
