Its totally random I agree. My college aged son who also is comped a cabin from CAS has not had any luck on his upgrade yet. I preferred the old days of calling the upgrade mine. Had more certainty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I need a vaca Posted February 15, 2019 #2352 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Has anyone had any luck bidding from a B1 Aft Balcony to a Aft Penthouse suite, and if so what did you bid? I should be able to bid next week and am just looking to see what a good $ amt would be. Currently the PH suite price is $500 pp over my room, but where I am traveling alone I am not really keen on paying $1000 to upgrade outright. I really like my current room too so if I don't win a bid I will be good (it would be nice to get suite perks too if cheaper) Edited February 15, 2019 by I need a vaca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggooglyboogly Posted February 15, 2019 #2353 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I just found out this morning that I won my bid! Final bid was $1300pp for an H4! Good thing I hadn't printed my cruise docs / luggage tags yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that you could only bid into Haven if you purchased a room with a number. You learn something new every day. The balcony guarantee just got a whole lot more appealing...then just throw a boat load of money at the Haven room after 🙂 All in cost was about 4500 for 2 adults and 1 child. Very happy with the rate paid seeing that this is Presidents week. Always have had good experiences with sail away and upgrading. Good luck to all putting there bids in.

Momma Rene Posted February 15, 2019 #2355 Share Posted February 15, 2019 We booked a Haven front facing penthouse, a H7. Anyone have experience with an upgrade offer at that level? It is our 50th anniversary and I wanted to assure a haven room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llarosa Posted February 15, 2019 #2358 Share Posted February 15, 2019 As expected, my "poor" bid for a mini suite on the Jade 2/17 sailing was rejected. That's okay... we sail in two days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shout19661966 Posted February 15, 2019 #2360 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Mini suite cat MA upgrade to Spa Mini suite Cat M9 Now correct me if i am wrong all i am being offered is the spa package access which is $199 pp. My range is $75 to $400pp. We have a third guest sailing with us. What would you think would be a fair bid for this upgrade. Edited February 15, 2019 by shout19661966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you think would be a fair bid for this upgrade. Yes, that would be the only difference for you, and potentially a "better" location depending on where your current MA is. Definitely don't bid more than $199 pp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (and I know it doesn't mean it's true) that newer ships, like Escape, bliss and Encore, would be harder for a 4 person room to be upgraded. Also sailing during holidays (Xmas, summer prime time -- not the last week of August, that's not prime, and spring break), it would be harder as well. Xcel I agree with you on those points. Def harder then but I do feel that Escape is on par w Getaway and Breakaway. Only thing I found better about Escape was the bar w tons of beer taps 🙂 on a cruise ship..that's epic haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice on the numbers needed to upgrade from family mini suite to an H4 or H2?? I have bids in now in the lower range but would love any tips on what would likely get it done. Thank you for any help! 🙂 3020 got me mine. 1510 pp. But I'm seeing higher and lower on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I hadn't printed my cruise docs / luggage tags yet! Thats a score for that room. Easily best I've been in. I havent gotten in H2 or H3 yet so we will see but I hear from even H2 dwellers they love the H4..may just be best on ship. I thought so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
