Earlier that week I had even lowered the bid to minimum. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was your bid accepted..from what to what if so? We see these royal up bids as just part of the fun; like playing the lottery or something. You know you're going to lose, but heck, you get excited anyway, ha. Just think what that Royal Suite is gonna be like, ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS is already pretty nice on Freedom class but enjoy breakfast in Chops, quiet place to sit and read in SL, and priority debark. DH was over the excitement of a possible upgrade by that time and wanted me to cancel the bids. I just lowered to minimum for what the heck. Won the Grand Suite. 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts from the top down, looking at the highest bid, for the top category that has an available room, accepting that highest bid and freeing up a lower category cabin, repeating the process all the way down. If unfilled bids still remain, the process is repeated once the ship embarks accounting for no-shows/last minute cancellations. Sailing on a lower occupancy ship or making a Royal Up bid when booked in an interior can yield better success even with a minimum bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
