adamnoone Posted November 18, 2021 #301 Share Posted November 18, 2021 When are they opening the upgrade bids these days? My last 3 cruises got cancelled prior to final payment. I'm sailing 1/16/22 on the Encore and have got the upgrade banner yet. Thank you, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen this before? It only mentioned 1 of the 4 pending requests I have. So, am I outbid in only one category or all? Never heard of this happening before. What category cabin is this?

We are on the cruise prior and haven't received any emails for bidding so either they're sold out (i highly doubt it) or the online TA we used doesn't participate....either way its just going to be nice to be somewhere warm for a few days this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't get an email there is a good chance you will have a "Let's get you upgraded" banner across the top which you can then click on and bid for upgrades.

MsTabbyKats Posted November 19, 2021 #312 Share Posted November 19, 2021 So, I booked the 11/21 Gem on 11/16....OV Sailaway. Cabin was assigned almost immediately....Deck 5, right under the galley. Needless to day, I wasn't thrilled. As of yesterday, no offer to bid for upgrade. I was going to just bite the bullet and pay full price for a balcony (not sailaway). Anyway...I got the offer to bid late yesterday afternoon...and bid the minimum for a balcony. I "won it" this morning....Deck 10, right by the mid-ship elevator, cabins above and below. Perfect! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had "a cancer scare" this week (I'm a breast cancer survivor) and I went out of network (self pay for $550) to get an expert opinion on my status. The expert found nothing, but it was worth every penny to find out. The upgrade more than balances out my medical expense! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have traveled all over the country and out of network for my husband’s cancer care and have never regretted the expense. Peace of mind knowing you have done the best you can is priceless.

Enjoy your trip Cancer patient here as well..and were booked on NOLA for November 21,2021 but had to cancel due to my mother suffering a major stroke two weeks ago and I am the only child and am therefore the only one to help both her and my 97 year old father with this situation. Feeling sad as we were supposed to fly out today to spend a couple of days in NOLA before sailing on Sunday..... Hoping that someone bid on an upgrade as we are giving up the Deluxe Owner's Suite with Large Balcony....again, very sad.....but hoping to have another chance to sail real soon!

Prayers for you and your parents. Our parents lived well into their 90’s and we cancelled a couple of cruises to care for them. Hope things settle down and you can cruise soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't book with "C" but i did book with Air Canada Vacations, which is odd if they didn't participate as I know they use the Plusgrade system for their flights...oh well, what to do?!?

jumbojem96 Posted November 22, 2021 #323 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The maximum upgrade bids on the 1/9/22 Joy sailing have just increased dramatically 😞 Minimum bids remain the same, but the poor/fair/good etc ratings have also changed.

DaggoB Posted November 22, 2021 #324 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Thank you Julig22 This morning the let’s get you upgraded disappeared. No email, no change for anything. I used the link you provided and it shows processing for the Haven 2 bedroom villa. We go from the club balcony suite with a large balcony to the Haven. In four days we are in NOLA for two days and next comes the Breakaway Haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
