I would pre book. Take a look at what time the ship leaves ports and figure time to get cleaned up. You don't have to do the same time each night. Ive seen the lines. It's something that I prefer not to be in for dinner. Anything from 6:30 to 8 will be a wait and it could be a long wait.

Are you on the Caribbean Princess with Us? I wasn't able to do anything accept try to move into a full suite, but I was told they are sold out. I put in a bid anyway for the type of suite we would enjoy. If I could have rebooked into something I would have as this might be Moms last cruise. She will be 94 when we set sail.

What is the Casino number if I can ask. All of my behind the scenes phone numbers have changed. Thanks.

Congratulations. It’s nice to hear that people are actually getting their bids won. I have noticed that the upgrade prices are all over the place. I’m guessing that it might be based on what you paid for your cabin.

Congratulations. I know it must be super exciting. We have a window suite and I placed bids to upgrade to a Penthouse suite. Moms turning 94 so I thought this would be a good idea. I’m finding out that our cruise is sold out. The only chance I think we will have if someone cancels at the last minute. It does happen. Not a lot so fingers crossed someone found a better cruise for them.

Just looked and you can no longer take the November 28th cruise. It’s sold out. I guess unless there’s a miracle out upgrade bids are just a thing of the past.

So I went onto Princess.com cruise personalizer. Then went to my cruise. It gave me the option to upgrade there. Not on the app. Go to the first page and scroll down it’s not to far from the top

Yes. On your profile picture and on your ocean ready. See pictures below. I’m thinking a lot of people have more than one email account. I do. That could be the difference. also about 8-10 weeks ago IT did a basic upgrade and merge. Also added the new bidding process. I’m guessing since I worked with IT for 30 years it’s got something to do with the software upgrades. It’s common to get glitches. I could not check to add or see any suites. It kept telling me sorry for the “inconvenience “. It took me almost 3 weeks to book a cruise. The site crashed constantly.

So now you can ignore or try again. Make sure at the very bottom of the page you confirm and save it.

Go into your captains club profile. You don’t move up a tear until you have actually completed the cruises. Future do not count.

Go on line and go into your cruise personalizer. That’s were you cancel your bids or go to the bid confirmation letter and follow the link. That’s where you can cancel.

You go back to your letter or go onto Princess.com. That’s were you cancel your upgrade bid.

Let me find it. They may have changed since they started. I’ll post when I find it.

Interesting. When I read the information I understood that if I did not pay within 2 days of winning my bid I would loose the bid and no money would exchange hands.

I would most definitely bid on Club class mini. It’s a great starting bid. Plus all the club class benefits

Also check your booking on line. See if you still have the same cabin number. Some had cabin numbers changed before acceptance letter.

Thanks for checking. Since I already have a casino suite I’ll just be happy.

Caribbean Princess out of Ft Lauderdale. November 28th. 10 days to the Panama Canal.

We had shingles, my screened in cage due to my neighbors shingles becoming missals, most of my landscaping and my favorite tree. However I have been standing in long gas lines and delivering food to friends and others in need. I have a Tesla so waiting in line was no big deal. I did have several people ask me why I was in line. Hmm. I guess they don’t think past the car. Anyway

So it sounds like you are a TA? I can’t find anything out about suites on our cruise. It just keeps crashing. We are on November 28th. Caribbean. If you have the ability to look it would be so helpful. Right now we are in a window suite. I’m trying to get a Penthouse suite since it will be mid ship for mom.

So can I ask how high up you had to go. We are on the Caribbean Nov 28th and I keep checking. I bid up and then lowered my bid. Ian kind of took a bunch of cash. Don’t want to use my insurance. Too easy to get canceled in Florida. I would love to get a penthouse suite. Mom will be turning 94 just before our cruise.

Due to HIPPA laws Princess cannot access to see if you’re handicapped. Only if you book an accessible cabin and you’re not in need they can actually move you. if you have an accessible cabin be aware when you bid you will have no gaurentee to get a better one. Actually you most likely will loose your accessible room. However suites to my understanding are not given accessible tags. They will get you what you need.

So I’ve been in window suites before. You don’t have a balcony but you have huge bank of windows. You get club class dining which is awesome. You don’t schedule a time. You can just show up. Also the dining room is on the same floor. Same side of ship. Private walkway from atrium to theatre. That’s a huge plus. I don’t mind if I don’t have a balcony.

So they actually said your bid was not accepted? Ive got 2 bids in and no rejection letter on either one.

Finally we have a winner. Thanks for posting. Did you bid the min allowed or go higher?
