I don't remember the bid range, but my bid was just above the lowest bid level and was considered weak. Frankly, I was surprised that I got the upgrade. Also, I ONLY bid on mini-suite; did ot bid on premium balcony. My bid too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bidding system wasn't designed for the passenger it was a win win for the company. If one could decline the new assignment then the whole system wouldn't work for Princess. Not correct. It is not already charged. One has to go to the Personalizer, their TA or call Princess directly to add payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyed Posted September 29, 2022 #503 Share Posted September 29, 2022 !We got 2 upgrade bid offers. Our ship has been showing "unavailable" for quite some time. So we couldn't see what was still available and was told by a rep that it was sold out. We bid on two cabins and got one. So not true....bid away.

hpeabody Posted September 29, 2022 #504 Share Posted September 29, 2022 If my bid is accepted but I DON"T LIKE THE NEW CABIN will I be keeping my original cabin if I do not respond and pay for the new cabin? I am wondering if anyone has experienced this. I have been invited to bid, but afraid to because I do like the cabin I have and don't want to be moved to an undesirable cabin with no recourse. Princess' idea of an upgrade and mine may not always be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our case, we liked our original balcony cabin but thought a mini suite would be nice and it's in our preferred location Mid/aft, so we're happy with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not want to lose the cabin I have now if I chose not to accept what they offer. I am only interested in a very small upgrade that is on my list of several. BTW, congrats on the mini suite, that should be really nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_k58 Posted October 1, 2022 #509 Share Posted October 1, 2022 We are booked on Nov 17 TA on the Regal. Haven't got a single email about bidding. I went to the site that asked for the booking number and last name and said " ineligible at this time". We're green lined, paid in full and everything else. What gives?

I wouldn’t considering bidding unless you are willing to except where your upgrade is located. Tom😀 Edited October 2, 2022 by trbarton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't open up fleet wide until end of October. It is not currently open for ships in Europe yet. It only works (right now) for ships in North America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted October 4, 2022 #525 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Got my second bid offer for Oct 29/22 Enchanted. Still too high. Like my cabin too much to bid on any. All categories appear to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
