Good luck.   I was in Aqua and bid for SS, CS, RS and PS and won the RS.    Loved it.

What is the difference between booking a guarantee and bidding on a cabin? Either way, you do not know your cabin in advance of paying for it.

Booking a guarantee buys you a cabin at a set price, but location is TBD closer to sail date.

Move up bid is putting a price you're comfortable with paying on a cabin class;  if you 'win' the bid over others the cabin location will be determined quite close to sail date and you will be charged the bid you made on your Visa.

It may be a bit different on Edge.    We were on Edge recently and were surprised when the bar tender on the first day asked for our sea pass.   I asked the MCC about it later and he indicated that all passengers without drink packages are limited to the Classic price limit in the lounge unless they have a premium package.   I'm not sure how they monitor it or how closely they enforce it.   I was surprised as the original methodology was you could pretty much get anything you wished without a package.

That is good to know Jim, I sail a lot and missed this news. Although servers have asked for cards they didn't explain why, except they wanted to upsell me once in MC in May. Which was weird, they could have explained the policy change. I wonder if it is posted on website. I remember when they really went out their way to impress in MC. On the crossing we had a premium package and I am sure I was never served anything over classic in the retreat. 😉

Feb 1 on the Summit

 

Family verandas on the Summit are great  oversized cabins with oversized balconies, and the corner cabins have huge balconies. That is what I would bid on from an inside cabin.

But aren’t there very few family verandas? Unlikely to win bid I would think!
