Goldenrosebags Posted January 3 #1 Share Posted January 3 I'm on Sapphire in 70 days. Its an 18 day cruise. I haven't received my bidding is open email. Does anyone know why this might be? I've received one on all my other cruises so I know my account is set up to receive them. I'm worried about it because I would really like to upgrade this cruise.

JerrySueW Posted January 3 #2 Share Posted January 3 Maybe you are opted out of emails. Just go into the personalizer and you can access the upgrade site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDDY0827 Posted January 3 #3 Share Posted January 3 Your specific cruise may be sold out with nothing to bid on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSW- I doubt that is the case, OP has received them before. Maybe OP has a RC mini and there is no Suites up for bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenrosebags Posted January 3 Author #5 Share Posted January 3 I have an interior because this was a particularly expensive cruise. I always got a balcony before. I changed my mind and was hoping too pay upgrade price rather than full price. I did try to upgrade through the princess website without the email and it said my cruise isn't eligible at this time.

Amy G Posted January 3 #6 Share Posted January 3 Even though it says you can bid 70 days. before, that is not always the case. Mine was 28 days after the stated time, so just wait for the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud_Shark Posted January 3 #8 Share Posted January 3 Our cruise also is beyond the stated 85 day time that says bidding will open, but it has not yet. So will just wait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenrosebags Posted January 3 Author #9 Share Posted January 3 I'm glad it's not just me. Thanks. It's just so expensive I thought I could get by with an interior. But the more I think about it the more I regret it. with an 18 day cruise I'll want the fresh air in my room. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapsgp Posted January 3 #10 Share Posted January 3 I just received an email today for our March 7th Enchanted cruise. Up until now when I checked it said I was ineligible to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenrosebags Posted January 3 Author #11 Share Posted January 3 I think mine is March 18th. I say I think because we have a princess land excursion first. That starts the 12th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hersheyhughes Posted June 4 #12 Share Posted June 4 I am wondering about the bidding amounts. Reading other threads others have mentioned how little they have bid and won upgrades. I went on the bid form today and it only allows you to bid the min stated amount. For the 10 day Canada cruise in August balcony is $310, premium balcony is $445 and mini suite Is $610, all pp. Is this how it works. The slider goes from $0 to the min bid, no in between. Thanks for any advice, new to Princess, Ist cruise. Kimberly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bemidji Ty Posted June 5 #14 Share Posted June 5 I found out last summer that if you book through the big box store where you go for $1.50 hotdogs and drinks, their agreement precludes upgrade bids. FWIW. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go into your cruise on the Princes website and click on the bidding link from there and check if you are eligible. Once in your book scroll down to the Plan Your Voyage section and it is listed there. I have never received a biding is open email, I just go directly to the bidding website and check to see if my booking is eligble.
