texangal39 Posted July 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I got my first message about 45 days out. But then I didn’t book until 60 days out, so I may not be a good point if reference. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatordad1967 Posted July 4, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Thank you. It has been awhile on MSC. Last two times we booked where we wanted straight away. This time, we went lower, hoping to get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco01 Posted July 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We booked last year and are 40 odd days out. We started getting them in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted July 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Our cruise starts on October 15. I received the upgrade email today. Nothing worth bidding on in my opinion. I will wait and see if another email comes closer to the cruise. I was offered oceanview. YC interior, deluxe balcony and balcony aurea. Cheapest was $145pp, most expensive was YC interior for $1265 pp. This is for a 14 day cruise. We are currently in an interior cabin on Deck 15.

If the bid for Oceanview starts at $145pp that works out to $10 pp/pday to get a window...I'd take that in a heartbeat. In our experience the minimum price goes up as people start biting on the bids and the bids get accepted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fairy, per se, since she sprinkles her pixie dust upgrades for free.... These are bids 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 5 gives you fabulous access and has less motion than an inside cabin on deck 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I wait I guess...This is our first time on MSC....I appreciate your advice. Edited July 30, 2022 by awhcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
