Cruise is 55 days out. I've had 4 cruise upgrade bids accepted and 1 rejected. My experience has been that they come sometime around the 30 day mark. The one time I didn't get the upgrade I never heard anything, and they just showed pending until I boarded the ship. Now I've heard that they are offering counter-offers telling you that others are outbidding you, and offering you the chance to raise your bid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDawg79 Posted December 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Within 3 days of sailing is usually when you get your answer based on my experience in the last year. Edited December 10, 2023 by TheDawg79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most people say 30 days. And 30 days is my experience multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vakamalua Posted December 10, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We were rejected two days before the cruise. Always good to originally choose a cabin you really like; don't count on an accepted bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fingers Posted December 10, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I got my bid accepted the day before the cruise. Must have been a last minute cancellation because there were excursion tickets and invitations for another party in my cabin on embarkation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfamm Posted December 10, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I’ve seen it several weeks ahead and as late as 5:00 on the day before embarkation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare photomikey Posted December 10, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 10, 2023 At 30 days out no one on my roll call had heard. Most people heard about a week later, some didn't hear until 2-3 days before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Bucks! Posted December 10, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm curious...I booked a cruise about 3 weeks ago and it leaves in 10 days. I chose my cabin but within a couple days the sailing had been listed as "sold out." Since then I've received 3 emails to bid on an upgrade (they offered 3 categories), but how can they have cabins available for upgrade if the ship is full?

Just because they accept a bid, it does not mean they currently have a cabin available in that category. There might be late cancellation with a cascading effect on cabin openings. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballs83 Posted December 11, 2023 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Seems like they start issuing them 30 days out on my last cruise per posts on our Facebook group. Went from balcony to mini suite for $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their upgrade price for a minisuite was over $1,000 and I definitely don't want a cabin in some location where I don't get to pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
