vacation44 Posted August 4, 2023 #3326 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I do know that two upgrades were awarded on the August 28th Jewel cruise. Both went from inside to Oceanview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that they may cancel your upgrade if you make any changes. Only the original people in your cabin can be moved to the bid cabin. Can’t add anyone from a different cabin or new booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted August 4, 2023 #3328 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I keep getting the email to bid for our august 17 proms cruise. We have the spa balcony. Is a club balcony room even an upgrade? We would also lose the convenience of having the spa right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, "spa club balcony" would be, but you don't want to lose the spa, I would think. Is upgrading to the Haven a choice? That might be the only thing I'd upgrade to if I already had a spa balcony.

Haven definitely was an option, but I still don’t want to pay what they have as the minimum bid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that. I think you should stay where you are. A spa balcony is going to be fabulous! I have a bid in for a spa balcony on our upcoming Escape cruise in September. I've never done an upgrade bid before, so I don't have high expectations, but you never know. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad son team Posted August 6, 2023 #3332 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I'm traveling solo on an Alaskan cruise, and I guess due to it being later in the season (Sept) they are offering good solo discounts with no solo supplement. Funny how if I bid, I still have to pay the bid x2 even though I'm solo and didn't pay the double cruise fare. Since they will always charge x2 they should just make the bid per cabin and not person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how they calculated that, but I was coming up with a lower amount when I book the cruise today and deduct my promos but whatever.

BunnyHutt Posted August 7, 2023 #3340 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Is there any way to see what you’ve bid? When I click on the “upgrade” icon on the app it just shows what is available to bid on, not what has been bid. Sailing Encore 9/17 (6 weeks out) in club balcony. Put in multiple *low* - like minimum or barely above - bids for various Haven categories back in May-ish but cannot remember how many I put in. Received emails today that 4 of my bids had been canceled. But I cannot remember if that was all of them. I don’t even think there are any Haven cabins available for booking, but would all bids be flat-out rejected this far out? FWIW, I have little belief that we will be upgraded. But was just surprised by the emails. 🤷🏼♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
