This is my first time attempting a bid upgrade for an Eastern Caribbean sailing out of FLL on Dec 10. Balked at the $285/pp cost quoted by the agent to go from an Inside to a Oceanview. I bid the minimum $30/pp for an obstructed OV and got notice one month before sailing that it was accepted! Saved us $510--very happy!

Sorry for being so late to this thread, but how long after it was "locked out" did you receive the acceptance of the upgrade?

 

We had 4 bids (3 verandas, 1 sky suite) and all verandas are "expired" last night but the Sky Suite was still pending yet I can't modify or do anything. 

The same thing happened to me for my cruise leaving this Sunday-my other bids "expired" and the pending one ended up being approved later that day! I was also not able to modify or anything and it charged my card later that afternoon and I got the approval email!
