Scirocco Breeze Posted May 13 #1 Share Posted May 13 I'm sailing in an interior cabin on Sky next week. Yesterday I got a third email inviting me to bid for an upgraded room. On previous cruises I've been lucky to receive even 1 such email, so now I'm wondering if I'm going to be on a half empty ship 😂 Is this something that often happens, and I've just not seen it before? I'm also wondering whether to put in a very low ball bid now, because they keep tempting me 🤦♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Justpackingmybags Posted May 13 #2 Share Posted May 13 Treat it like a lottery ticket! Put in a cheeky low bid; after all you don’t pay unless your bid is accepted and, as there are no ocean view cabins on Sky, you will get a balcony of some sort. Enjoy your cruise whatever room you’re in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have premium ocean view apparently, with floor to ceiling windows...looks nice, I'd insert a screenshot if I knew how 😂 edit to add...deck 17 Edited May 13 by Scirocco Breeze Information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherTracy Posted May 13 #4 Share Posted May 13 If this is the 19th out of Southampton then its showing as full on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirocco Breeze Posted May 13 Author #5 Share Posted May 13 That's the one yes. I think I'm going to stay happy with the room we have booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisemeister2002 Posted May 13 #6 Share Posted May 13 We cruise on Sky later in the year, I understand that once the final demand is settled a few days later a passenger is contacted with regards to bidding for an upgrade. We are currently inside. Anyone ideas as to the sort of money to offer for a balcony upgrade ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Justpackingmybags Posted May 13 #7 Share Posted May 13 Once you get to the bidding site, there’s a slider to put your amount on - per person, or double if you’re sailing solo. There’s an icon that tells you the strength of your bid; I’ve managed with £5 above minimum before now! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
