Me too

 

Don't know if there is any connection but bidding for upgrades has also just started on P&O

Just checked for our June booking on Sky Princess, clicked the upgrade pic and still getting the message about it not being offered in my region. Perhaps currently it’s by invitation only on certain cruises. Will keep checking. Not to upgrade but just intrigued as to what the options might be.

We are also on Sky in June. Where would I find the 'upgrade pic', please?

Intrigued that bidding is starting in the UK.

It appears that you only get an invite to bid by email if you have booked direct. 

We are sailing on July 8th. Booked through a major UK TA. We have had no  upgrade offer, yet those who booked direct have had bid offers sent to them.

Seems somewhat unfair.

I booked direct and received a link to bid for an upgrade only to have the offers constantly cancelled days later without any explanation.

At first I thought is this a ploy to get me to bid higher but as it turns out the currency of the offers was mistakenly sent out in $ when it should be for uk bookings in £.

I was told to look at for another email at some point.

I received 2 emails one was in $ and the other in £ the following day

Thank you for that info.

I have chased it up with the relevant department and hopefully will receive 

an email link directing me to bid again and this time in £.

I had one in $ and it was accepted in $
