CruiseBride926 Posted September 9, 2021 #5026 Share Posted September 9, 2021 We put in three bids for our cruise on Oasis this Sunday. Currently two say expired (2bd aqua theater and 2bd GS) and one says pending (ultimate panoramic suite). Fingers crossed 🤞 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, I put in two bids and one turned into expired (which I lost - nice way to say loser) and the other one indicated pending for a few days and then I got a notification that I got my second choice. I'm happy with what I got and what I paid. Good luck to you! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwne2nks Posted September 9, 2021 #5031 Share Posted September 9, 2021 We just put in a minimum bid for a Junior suite and got it! . So far we have only cruised in balcony rooms so this is an upgrade for us. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen anything else except "cancelled" after I cancelled a bid or two. Actually... We had four bids that all remained as Modify/Cancel until I checked again about 3 weeks before our sailing. At that point three were listed as Rejected, but the GS bid we really wanted was listed as Pending - we later found out we won that Pending bid a few days before sailing... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sianli Posted September 9, 2021 #5043 Share Posted September 9, 2021 We bid on two categories for our Aug 15th Allure sailing. I even went back in to modify our original bids. One was rejected pretty early and the higher one said pending until we boarded and we received the "no go" email after boarding. Currently bid for upgrades on Sept 19th Harmony. One expired 2 weeks ago and the other is pending with no ability to modify. I do not have confidence that we will get it after our last bid loss though. Either way we will be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And same question for those 19Sept Harmony pending & expired bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajathree Posted September 10, 2021 #5045 Share Posted September 10, 2021 For people biding and some getting upgrades for minimum bid.....I wouldn't hold breath that will continue to work. For my upcoming Odyssey sailing starting in a balcony cabin...I bid the maximum of $220/PP for a JS (26 available)...about 30% under maximum for a GS $675/pp (6 available) and a little over minimum for an OS $750/pp (2 available). After about 2 weeks only my JS still showed pending...rest showed expired. I received the JS upgrade e-mail and asignment 2 days ago (Tues)....sailing is Sat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrProfessor Posted September 10, 2021 #5047 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I have read every post in this long thread - NOT. Sorry if this has been asked before, but we currently have a regular ocean view balcony on Allure in October. I have several "offers" to bid on upgraded categories. The first is a spacious ocean view balcony (not going to even consider this over what we have). The second, though is interesting. It is listed as an "Ultra Spacious Ocean View with Large Balcony". It apparently sleeps six (even though there are just 2 of us). If this is really that much larger, why isn't it considered a junior suite (which is the next category up)? Does anyone know the room category so I can look up where these are on the deck plans? I'm just wondering if it is worth it to bid on that second option. There are also Jr., GS-1br, GS-2br and Owner's suites - but we won't considering paying even the minimum bids on those. I'm really just wondering about that Ultra Spacious with Large Balcony, where they all are on the ship and trying to decide if it is worth bidding on (min is $200pp).

That’s the room type we originally had booked on Oasis and at least on that ship the room had bunk beds in what I can assume was once a closet and the room itself seemed a little bigger as did the balcony.

barbeyg Posted September 10, 2021 #5050 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Also, there is an Ultra Spacious cabin currently available on Oasis, Cabin 7330, for 12/5, and it was the last cabin before the suites at the very back of the ship. I think that cabin fills a niche that can't be filled with two cabins, and it is large, accommodating 6 people, with a double sized balcony. I would bid on it for just the $200. If it's at the back of the ship, remember it is a long walk forward to the elevators, if that is an issue for you. If you search for Oasis of the Seas Cabin 7330, you can find an example of it on Oasis. Maybe someone else can weigh in on the cabins at the front of the ship.
