Revenue maximization has to be the highest priority, but that doesn't jive with upgrading folks (me!) who bid minimums with over a week to go until departure. I'd love to know the internal logic. It makes a lot of sense if they need the cabin you are currently in to award an upgrade to someone else, especially if that other party made a high bid.

mmgibbs7 Posted November 29, 2021 #381 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) All of my bids for the 12/4 Escape show expired except the two bedroom Haven. I can’t click on anything but no charge or room number change. Also all of the upgrade links and message in the app are gone so maybe that’s a good sign.

Rare wolft927 Posted November 29, 2021 #382 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Same for me, for my December 5th on the breakaway all bids expired accept the forward facing penthouse! That’s the one I wanted and I had the strongest bid for. That’s the only one that still says pending. Anyone have any insight on this? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tafawke Posted November 29, 2021 #387 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I love Mondays on this post - always some 'action'.... hopefully me in two weeks (19 Dec departure)... definitely seeing a pattern, if your cruise leaves on the Sunday, then the Monday before the posts start regarding their bids... good luck people for cruises leaving this weekend... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get your cabin number in a couple of hours, if my experience last week is anything to go on. I noticed one bid went to "processing" at around 11am, got the email confirmation of a winning bid to a 2BR suite at 1:43pm, and the room assignment email at 2:02pm. Congratulations!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to catch you in the bar for a drink, we just got ours as well. Courtyard Penthouse. Not the one I had the highest bid on (2 bedroom) but should still be one hell of an experience. Now to decide whether to drop the extra $500 on the upgraded drink package 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare wolft927 Posted November 29, 2021 #395 Share Posted November 29, 2021 A bid just below fair rating in the poor side. It was was highest bid but was cheap in my eyes for the haven 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you I would consider saving the money on the upgraded drink package. We have only done Haven once, but the bartenders at the Haven bar make every drink feel upgraded☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare wolft927 Posted November 29, 2021 #398 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Absolutely! My wife Tess and I have a tendency to indulge in cocktails while on vacation lol. We aren’t upgrading the drink package, everything we pretty much drink is already included. See you in the haven bar lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you in the haven bar lol We do too, definitely drink more than at any other time in our lives but when you have servers around and essentially an open bar it's easy to just keep them flowing. She has her eyes on that champagne that's like $35 a glass, I think she can drink enough to justify the upgrade on her own and anything I find will just be lagniappe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted November 29, 2021 #400 Share Posted November 29, 2021 First time I ever went for the drink package was years ago on carnival, any drink under $50 was included but did have a 15 drink per day cap. Not much of a champagne drinker myself but hey neve know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
