My bid showed as slightly higher on the meter but still very much in the "weak" range. Others had offers for slightly lower minimum bids but we had a bargain price on a guarantee suite for our original booking. Also, some people received notification of their bids acceptance a day before I received mine. I think they put them through from high to low. Other bid minimums were: Iconic suite $5000, PH $4000, RS $1500, and CS $1000. I only bid on the villa.

Yes/No: No, for a 5 night cruise we just felt the only real upgrade for us (space wise) would be the royal suite, we have all 4 perks already & enjoy the MDR so as we have such a huge nice balcony and cabin we just decided it was too good a cabin to give up vs the cost of upgrading, especially as neither of us would make use of the butler or Michaels club, maybe if it had been on a S/Class ship or a re-vamped ship with the retreat etc, our quest to taste the suite life experience continues, hopefully it’ll happen at some point in the future 🤞🏻😊 If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: place winning category, if accepted (all category offers, can be mentioned in comments) Bid Offer: Notification Date: Accepted / Rejected General Comments All minimum required bids below in CAD Per person!

The family veranda and ocean view were expired and the veranda was pending. About 5 days before logged into the moveup and noticed all bid options were open again.

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.

We live in Florida so I think they were trying to fill the ship, we got a great price for a Balcony GTY, then bid for Aqua. We have never done Aqua so decided to try it. We usually do newer ships so this will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
