I’m in the encore 11/28 and just got an email that I was outbid and that “real time bidding” is now open.  Has anyone seen this before?  It only mentioned 1 of the 4 pending requests I have.  So, am I outbid in only one category or all?

 
Never heard of this happening before. What category cabin is this?

You can complete sec 7 at 21 days. At that time you’ll select an arrival time and register with the company that administers the covid test. Also you’ll  watch a safety video.  Complete this for each person on the reservation.

Wonder what is up?

Could it be container ships rerouted to Florida to get away from the Cali mess are clogging up the Canal.

anyone have any thoughts on why they left a few rooms in each haven category open? 

 
So the remaining bidders panic and up their bids.

And obviously this works.

I think Bird misread your post as there are no foreword facing BA. This cabin should have a nice panoramic view but you can’t look straight down to the water. Looks like it is well forward of the District Brew House and you have cabins from the “Secret Hallway “ below.  
Stayed in 9708 on the Joy in Alaska and didn’t think there was that much more movement.

I got the same red alert for Breakaway offering me an upgrade at a certain scale of pricing good only for that one day!  Don't recall the "discount part" though.  I made a bid and it was accepted!

 

The rest of the cabins offered did not have that same red alert.

Congratulations! Was yours also to upgrade to an ocean view cabin?

I wrote an eMail but still no answer. So I have to wait .... will inform you

Suggestion, since your deadline (final payment?) is the 13th you should call. Prices could go up and email responses  take forever.

It's quite worth it for us- my husband isn't fond of crowds.

It definitely wasn’t crowded when we were there last year. Had a cabana but it was almost always getting hammered by the sun, so ended up on a lounger with an umbrella most of the time. Have a great cruise!

Tiffany if it’s costing you $99+$209*2= $517 for Vibe passes I’m not sure it’s worth it. We loved Vibe when it was $99 pp and it was the great race to get them.

If you’re referring to the Haven restaurant, absolutely!  Delivered In suite, then no.

Are you able to order a bucket of beers, unopened, to bring back to your balcony while on the PDP?

No. Not sure what PDP is but no package allows buckets of beer.

Joy has Concierge cabins not found on the Bliss. Larger cabin, exclusive dining for breakfast and lunch, early boarding and access to a concierge.

Apparently I'm in an SE ...

You are probably better off to call or email the pre-concierge and ask for a list of amenities. They are changing amenities for some suite categories late next year.

I'm sure this has been covered over and over again, however, I cannot find the information I am looking for.  

 

A few years ago, we had an Owners Suite on the Dawn and it came with a long list of amenities including a bar set up in our suite.  We just booked a forward facing Penthouse on the Gem and now I cannot find a Suites Amenities List anywhere.  Does someone have a link to it?  Has it changed?

I found a list for H2, H3, SA, SB. Are you booked in on of these categories?

Lately they have been cutting Haven prices like crazy. Seems like they have decided to fill cabins by cutting the price rather than fulfilling bids. 

Sounds like you had a great time! Talking to management face to face is the best way to express your concerns, but that’s kinda scary for some. Much easier to go to the internet.

Looks like they sailed Jade 8/1.

Thanks for the comparison OP!

How about in the Haven restaurant?  Do they serve lobster there?

Other than lobster bisque or salmon with lobster sauce, no.

Premium Plus receives 40% discount on Louis XIII .

If this would push it over, can you order a grey goose and then a few minutes later a tonic???

Ordering a Grey Goose and tonic does not push it over the limit. You can order any cocktail and specify any liquor that’s under $15 without an up charge.

An exception would be the Chocolate Martini or coffee based cocktails.

Love the Nespresso pod eyes. 

Thanks for another fabulous Live Report Bird!

If you don’t like it tell the staff they’ll bring you something else.

What did they do for you when you told them you were dissatisfied?

Can anyone confirm this would be refundable OBC that will offset things such as the DSC?

Totally up to you.

When people ask, our response is the same

It’s crystal clear that this is only your practice and no official guideline is even remotely implied.

If someone interprets otherwise that’s their problem. It’s rather shocking that people feel the need to attack your responses which are always helpful and timely.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to this community.
