We have bid twice and were wildly successful once, scoring an aft balcony for Sky Princess through the Norwegian fjords the day before it sailed. We only bid $200pp. When we arrived, the couple next to us it was their sister who was supposed to have the cabin—she had gotten COVID the day before. I guess we were first on the list?
I have bids in now for upgrades for our world cruise on Coral out of Auckland. We’re in an interior so I’m pretty sure I’d be happy with anything. Though, in the be careful what you wish for department, we WILL be on the ship for 110 days. But, gee, a balcony would be nice and the low bid is $2K. We shall see.
