JoRoy218 Posted November 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We’re on the Regal 12/26 sailing. Placed a bid on a cc mini. Those of you who have had your bid accepted, how far out from the cruise did you get notified? Just curious, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted November 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Mine was accepted about 3 1/2 weeks before our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehowlingroad Posted November 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Our cruise sails on 12/17 and I got my bid accepted today. My app says we're 18 days from sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted November 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2022 My last (first) bid, I received a confirmation email and then silence. They never responded that any of my three bids were accepted or rejected. So when the cruise embarkation came, I just went to my originally booked cabin. My next cruise, I still have my fingers crossed -- upgrade to mini or to Club Class, I'll be happy with either (or with the balcony I booked in the first place).

Mike45LC Posted November 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 29, 2022 JoRoy, does the website show any available cabins in the categories you wish to upgrade to? I suspect that they invite bids even when there are no cabins available, on a "just in case" basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, "just in case" basis is in effect. a) Someone in a full category may need to cancel b) Someone in a full category may win a bid to a higher category.

We have 2 cabins: one bid on 3 types (highest category got accepted with just $5 or 10 above min, other 2 were min bids on lower category and was rejected) the second cabin only did one min value bid (and dropped the $ value that bid about 35 days out when the min price dropped). We had no ability to choose which category was won. Both cabins "won" a bid on the same day. Hope that helps! And yes also to let you know min price does change! And in case anyone was wondering - you can get anyone to pay for your upgrades (apparently there is a select thing where person paying is not in stateroom. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how I can see a new minimum bid. I can’t even see what it was when I did bid. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phone shows you min bid prices so you don't have to play with the slider. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your daughter got a steal! I haven't had the opportunity to bid yet, but I thought the bids were just for passenger 1 and 2. If you have a third, they don't pay the bid price? Heck, I may have misunderstood. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you divide my $200 bid over 3 people, that's $66/pp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
