hvbaskey Posted April 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I originally placed the Tracker in the thread initiated by CruisingChick on April 23, 2018. However, the tracker gets lost amongst all the many questions/comments (understandably). Thus, I have decided to create a single thread for tracking purposes only (filtering out everything else). The purpose of this thread is strictly for compiling information into a spreadsheet. I will be running this tracker for ~ 6 months to see if any interesting trends come about and/or for general information purposes. Will reevaluate its usefulness thereafter. IF you wish to participate, answer the following questions as best as you can and I will transfer the info to the Tracker. Please do not ask questions here (redirect your questions/comments to the CruisingChick thread of April 2018).

Bid minimum for both. No reply yet. I doubt the bids will be accepted as there are no cabins showing available above the Sky suite. The bid prices have fluctuated several times over the last few weeks. They seem to drop when there are price drops - at least on my sailing.

kikki21 Posted April 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I have now been sent my 4th Move Up email for the 3 night cruise to Amsterdam. I did check on the sailing & it appears all suites are fully booked but still invited to bid which is interesting & maybe bears fruit for the theory that people do cancel at the last minute thus leading to move up bids being accepted!

Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: RS Bid Offer: $1500pp Notification Date: 5/6/19 Accepted / Rejected: Accepted General Comments (offer details, etc.) MoveUp minimum offer was CS $300pp; RS $500pp; PH $900pp. Maximum bid was $1500pp for the RS & $1500pp for the PH. Don't recall what the max was for the CS. Bid on the RS and on the PH and bid the max on each since we booked the original cabin on a gty for only $2279pp. Figured this would be our only shot at a royal suite because the regular prices were out of our reach. The going price for the RS was over $6100pp. Edited May 10, 2019 by LuvCruzn4Evr typo correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
