    That is a very subjective and open ended question.

     

    You would need to determine what’s best for you.  Be prepared to get a location or cabin that you may not want.  
    Look to see, where the category you are bidding on, could be located.  Check the deck plans.

     

    This is the most comprehensive and helpful thread I have seen on the bidding process.  Check out the most recent posts of the 87 pages.🥴

     

    Best of luck, making a decision.

     

    Thread doesn’t want to paste, just search

    cruise critic how is the bidding system doing?

     

    You’ll get the thread.

    Thank you for an honest answer....

     

  2. Hello Gang,

     

    With Princess Cruises, if they have cabins left over, you get a chance to bid for an upgrade

     

    Looking for some input on bidding for an upgrade cabin

     

    Worth it?

     

    Thank you

  3. I am looking for how can you tell what side the bed is on once you enter the cabin.

    Due to the plug situation, I need the bed on the right side once you enter. [CPAP]

     

    From reviewing the videos on YouTube, I see all beds on the right side are odd number/ starboard side.

     

    Is this true?

     

    thank you in advance

    Perhaps it is your printer - change the font sizing ?

     

    When I clicked on that little suitcase icon and print the result was a tag 8 inches long by 3 inches wide.

     

    You can always attempt to enlarge the tags and the other alternative wait to have the porter at the pier

    put on the generic tags.

  5. Prohibited List: print this take with you....Nothing about a fan: #21 states anything with a heating element....my fan or any of my fans doesn't have a heating element,

    I ALWAYS TAKE A FAN, 7"/Holmes Lil Blizzard Oscillating Table Fan, and it is awesome

    I print the prohibit list attach one to the fan and keep one with my cruise documents

    We've brought our Vornado room fans on every cruise in our expanded signature since 2008 and have never had any of them confiscated. However, we meet the steward, tell him we sleep with the fan on year round, will unplug when not in the room and would appreciate it if he would tell us if it would be an issue. Never been.
  6. Cruise the EBTA last year, and the WBTA this Oct.....do looking forward to it.

    Before you order a drink, just ask about the port tax on the drinks

     

    Hope this helps

    Is this your experience on this itinerary, or are you talking generally?

     

    On this specific itinerary, tax is charged all through the cruise as it doesn’t leave the EU VAT area. Unless something has changed recently.
