Noticed they opened up some balconies and stuff yesterday. Tempted to just direct upgrade to the haven instead of this waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And please no one get preachy about I should have booked outright if I wanted my upgrade that much; this process evolves for sure. Next time I will do it differently!

Oh next time I will just buy what I want. No more bidding for me. If I knew I could keep my spa passes or some were available to buy I would just go ahead and upgrade to the Haven, but the spa passes are not available to buy for me on the website so I am (not) patiently waiting.

Rare Kmkub Posted January 31, 2019 #2157 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I bid for us to go from a balcony to a mini-suite. I bid in the "poor," range, just to see what happened. I'm not worried if it doesn't happen. I was just curious to see. No word, yet. We sail tomorrow. We're perfectly happy in a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't heard ANYTHING? I thought they had to send out rejections at least 48 hours before sail? So approve or deny you should have heard. I would call if no word at all. Or check the actual bid page, the status may be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwolever Posted January 31, 2019 #2162 Share Posted January 31, 2019 It looks like they are finally making strides on the Feb 3rd Getaway sailing. All mini suites and most balconies just immediately switched to "sold out." Anyone received their happy emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamieLogical Posted January 31, 2019 #2164 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just finished receiving all of our rejection emails. We were booked in a BA on the 2/2 sailing of the Bliss. We were really happy with our original room, because it's one of the angled balconies, so we weren't willing to bid too high on the spa baclony or mini-suites because winning those would mean losing the larger balcony. All categories we bid on were showing sold out for a while now. We bumped up the Spa Haven bid by a crazy amount last week just to see what would happen, but it was still rejected: H5 - min $400 - bid $430 - bottom of poor H9 - min $400 - bid $1200 - bottom of good M9 - min $100 - bid $130 - middle of poor B9 - min $75 - bid $90 - low end of poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how long it takes to send out the emails and change the bid status, but I will admit that I'm going to be very surprised and disappointed if neither of my bids were accepted. There were so many still available today and I have pretty high bids, so this would be a bummer. Thank you for your emotional support! 🙂 I hope much better luck for you!

This process is so nerve wracking, and you and Jamie and the whole thread have been keeping me sane. I'm loving the solidarity... even though I'm kind of happy Jamie got rejected because it seems like she has a sick balcony already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPJC03 Posted January 31, 2019 #2168 Share Posted January 31, 2019 It really is all about percent of capacity on the ship. I am on the 3/10 Getaway and ALL categories are still available 5 weeks out. I bid on H5 and H9 in the low fair range. Hope to get one of them accepted, but in midship minisuite, so won't be disappointed if we get rejected. You have to look at it as a game - keep checking on capacity of each category and bid a bit more if needed. Just so you don't overbid and feel cheated if you get it and price yourself at the retail price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ83709 Posted January 31, 2019 #2169 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I'm on Feb 3 Getaway as well, attempting to bid out of OV...however, didn't care to go much above minimum since the ship location is crap shoot... I am fine with OV since I picked one that will be quiet...I got stuck in room near karaoke once and had to hear "Skeet Skeet Skeet"....at like 2am.....so i would have to pay next to nothing to make this gamble worth it Edited January 31, 2019 by AJ83709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cabin location is mid-ship on deck 11. At least I know what I am getting if I stay put. I still kept my bids, but reduced them to create some value if I do win them.

Basically winning either of those had to be cheaper than buying spa passes outright, because otherwise it wouldn't be worth giving up my angled balcony.

gmbhardy Posted January 31, 2019 #2172 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Just got awarded an upgrade on the Feb.24th sailing of the Getaway. Went from a H7 (forward facing suite) to a H6 (aft facing suite). Bid was $1,500 Canadian (middle of fair) Looking forward to the big balcony and since our son will be with us for the first time, the extra space and washroom will come in handy.

jessykaw Posted January 31, 2019 #2174 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Being I will have an answer within the next 24 hours, I was wondering what my bid status will say once it is accepted or rejected. Both bids still say, “pending”. I keep checking my email, credit card, and bids to look for any sign of the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3catnight Posted January 31, 2019 #2175 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Ours changed to “Not eligible for upgrade” just before we were notified that we had been upgraded. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
