Advantage Upgrade Question

[madams77]

I recently received an invite to bid on a cabin upgrade. I am interested in upgrading to the Haven on the Encore.  I did a mock booking, which shows that the Haven Spa Balcony is sold out.  However, when I go through the Advantage invitation link, it allowed me to enter a strong bid on the Haven Spa Balcony cabin.  Our cruise is not til June, so I suppose I could wait it out for a bit.  Has anyone has this experience?

It may be sold out today however those in Haven Spa may bid and win or there could be cancellations thus opening up that stateroom down the road.

Thanks for the input.  I was able to find this scenario mentioned in the above link.  I also learned that I can bid on more than one cabin type.

 

Thanks again!

(1) there are always cancellations. (2) Everyone moves up with upgrades. So, people in Haven Spa rooms can bid on owners suites, etc.
