misha1 Posted February 8, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Good morning, if I try to bid for an upgrade, and it is accepted...are there ever any consequences like losing my original booking perks? When my March cruise prices went down and I asked my TA for compensation, I was offered an upgrade from 2B to Aqua class but I would lose my 200 dollars OBC. Does the same thing happen if I win an upgrade bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If only Posted February 8, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) If you win an upgrade bid, the perks you have go with the booking. You also do not get the extra points which I assume would be for a Suite. Edited February 8, 2020 by If only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only advantage is you keep your perks and if accepted your cabin is not always assigned immediately. In my case the price of the cabin I booked has dropped but I'd have to pay much more for the perks. I've spoken to so many who have bid and won but paid a fortune for their cabin as they dont understand bidding process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted February 8, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If you win you will definitely not lose any perks, but as stated you will not earn CC points on the new room, just for the room on your original booking before the upgrade that is won.

jelayne Posted February 8, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If your bid is accepted you do not lose your existing perks but you also do not get any additional perks. If you have 2 perks and successfully bid on a suite that offers 4 perks you don’t get all 4 perks, just the 2 you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 8, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2020 One exception to above is if you get a RS or above the room comes with "Amenities" that are not considered perks, like a Premium Drink Package, Bar Setup in room, Unlimited Specialty Dining etc. Even if you don't have a drink package you get it with the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted February 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Another point, when we went into a Royal suite- we actually got refunded for those items we purchased, that are included in the Royal Suite, unlimited dining package etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say for instance you have booked an infinite verandah on a particular sailing and the price on the website for CC is another $300 per person. You get a move up offer and minimum bid is $270 but you decide to offer a bid of $400 per person and your bid is accepted, then you have overpaid plus you dont get to choose your location. In most cases this always benefits the cruisline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
