Jump to 12:56 minutes in to see the mini-suite.

Even though it says you can bid 70 days. before, that is not always the case. Mine was 28 days after the stated time, so just wait for the email.

I had this problem yesterday and could not get in at all. Today I can get I'm, but I can't access my cruise. I have not been able to access my cruise for about 2 weeks now, it is quite frustrating. One day I was able to access it to make a payment finally, but do nothing else. I really want to be able to look at excursions, but I can only do that from the app, which is not as ideal for me.

We had a wonderful waiter in the Ketchikan dining room, Edward. He brought us extra food each meal, which we have not had done in quite some time. We did find that the fettuccini did not seem like the same recipe, it was much more bland. Our room steward was just ok, nothing great. I never received my robe, and he only gave us 3 towels for the 3 of us, no extras. We were given "walk-off" luggage tags, even though we did not ask for walk-off. We went to Guest Services immediately and switched to the last group to disembark. We turned Elite at the end of this cruise, but we never received a letter stating so. 😞 We really lucked out with the weather too, as it seemed to rain after we left each area. We did the Folkorico show in Ensenada and we found it to be excellent. We rented a car in San Diego to visit our favorite places. We had a great. cruise, it was just what we needed!

I found my old post about when I could bid: “Bidding should have opened 70 days before our 4-day cruise, but it didn't. Just yesterday I finally received an email telling me that I could bid to upgrade (42 days beforethe cruise). I bid yesterday and got my upgrade today!”

I had the same issue and it was about a month after I was eligible to bid that I had the opportunity to actually bid. Just wait for the email saying it is now open to bid.

On the Discovery now and no Coke Zero to be found yet.

We have a patter but no towels!

We watched the video while eating. 🙂 Normally we arrive earlier, but we spent the morning at Disneyland.

We are on board too! We arrived to the port around 12 and it was an absolute nightmare trying to get dropped off. It took 30 minutes to go 1.5 miles, but we finally made it on. Ate at the buffet and had my first ice cream. 🙂

I double-checked my emails and the counter bid was accepted 8 days after they offered me the deal.

We received a counteroffer this past summer. We had booked a balcony and bid on everything we could bid on. About 1 month before the cruise we received the counteroffer for a full suite and we made the offer. Within the week it was accepted. 🙂

Bidding should have opened 70 days before our 4-day cruise, but it didn't. Just yesterday I finally received an email telling me that I could bid to upgrade (42 days before the cruise). I bid yesterday and got my upgrade today!

I finally got an email this morning allowing me to bid-to-upgrade.

We are on this same cruise (have you found a roll call board?). We are going to see the folklórico show as it seems to get good reviews. Have you received an offer to bid to upgrade? There are a lot of rooms left, but I can't seem to upgrade.

Bummer. I am fully paid, can I reach out to Princess and upgrade without losing my OBC?

Interesting! Their chart says that cruises less than 7 days can be bid on 70 days before departure. But, that would make sense why I can't bid.

Great idea to bring a list!

I booked through Princess directly, so I am not sure what is going on.

Yes, daily since the window should have opened. 😞

I was on chat with Princess today for way too long asking why I can't place a bid yet for our cruise in December (the cruise is 58 days away and is a 4-night cruise)). He just said that some cruises don't offer upgrades... Super frustrating because there are a lot of cabins left in all categories, so I hope they open it up soon.

Thanks, I will try to be patient then. 🙂 There are a lot of rooms available so I am hoping I get the email soon.

It opened 6 days ago, so I am not. sure what is going on.

I have been patiently waiting for my upgrade window to open and when it did open, I got the message "This reservation is not eligible for Princess Upgrade at this time." I am bummed because on our last two cruises, I could bid, and I won both bids. I am hoping it eventually opens up for us.

We were on the Crown at the end of July and dinner included the restaurant manager making a special pasta each night and then there was also 2 different types of ramen every night.
