I sail in 2 days, and both my bids still show pending and can modify.  I'm not holding my breath at this point.  I'm currently in a 2BR Grand, and bid for 4BR Villa and Royal Suite.

Coming back to update. We got our bid accepted for a Grand Suite 2BR on the Liberty of the Seas, up from a Junior Suite. We are excited to see what the perks are for a suite as we have never stayed in one before. Any advice or suggestions from you more experienced cruisers?

My sister and I booked a 2BR Grand on the Liberty, and I'm waiting to see if my bids for the 4BR Villa or Royal Suite are accepted.  (not holding my breath). I could have also bid on an owner's suite, but didn't because it's actually a downgrade from the 2BR Grand (not sure why they would even include that as a paid "upgrade" since the owner's suite is cheaper than the 2BR Grand).

As to the suite perks, I just received this from the concierge today (and he got the date wrong LOL):

Greetings from The Liberty Of The Seas,

My name is Amit, and I can’t wait to welcome you onboard Liberty Of The Seas on Sunday, 23rd January 2022. I hope you’re ready for a wonderful cruise vacation with us.  

We’re delighted you’ll be joining us as we get back to our home at sea. Your health & safety are our top priority, so as we begin to set sail, we have new health protocols that are part of our healthy return to service.  Please visit https://www.royalcaribbean.com/the-healthy-sail-center/getting-ready-to-cruise for more information on the preventive measures that we will be taking onboard to ensure you have a safe and healthy experience with us.

As we return to service, some benefits and services have changed. To follow new health protocols and better manage the flow of guests in terminals, the check-in process will be different. All guests will be required to select an arrival time in advance via the Royal Caribbean app. However, suite guests can enjoy Flexible Arrival — a new program allowing the freedom to check-in up to one hour before or after your scheduled check-in time while the terminal is open.  

We recommend that you plan your days and make reservations for your dining, onboard activities, shore excursions and Vitality Spa services. You may do so using your Cruise Planner or Royal App. Please note that show reservations will be available for booking once onboard. If you require any assistance, I will be happy to help you.

Even the LDS geneology website didn't find them (there were hits for ladies of the same name, and even same birth year for Mirtle, but wrong death year).
