I believe there is so truth to this, I've heard that they only bid off the less desirables too!! Now that I think about it, our last trip was our first time bidding and not only did we have plumbing issues but we were on deck 2 so we heard all kinds of "ship sounds".. BUT overall it was still a great room, beautiful trip. Like it wasn't the worst. *shrugs*

This is our 2nd time booking GTY, we like the idea of saving money and we are new to cruising so we're trying to figure out if we are picky or not about our cabins LOL last trip was last year on Freedom, we book GTY interior AND won our RoyalUp bid for an ocean view!!! Im starting to think that bid win was a fluke.

I received a 6th floor GTY interior.. And honestly, Im not mad about it at all! We're kind of excited to try an interior for the first time... HOWEVER (lol) if we can win this bid and get upgrade to spacious ocean view or something in that realm that would be the icing on the cake!!! I just stress about it because I get really into planning these trips and I just NEED to know a definite answer about where im sleeping or ill be on YouTube for hours looking at all the "could've beens" and "maybe we wills" lol

So I apparently decided to torture myself by choosing to wait for the Guaranteed room over selecting my own, but hey why not save a few bucks?! But now, I'm waiting on pens and needles for the RoyalUp bid. We are leaving May 4 on Independence and though i've been assigned my 6th floor room... Im praying every second that I get this upgrade!!!! What do you guys think, like is it likely to get an upgrade and when do you find out if the bid is accepted or not???
