Obviously non of knows for sure. Do you think you roll call member may have given you what they bid for just on person and forgot to double it? In your example the third party/Celebrity did not maximize their upside. They would have made more money to take your bid and just reject the other bid as they already had the money from the other person’s original person.

This has not been my experience. You do not need your TA to book FBC. You can get a quote directly in line and test the accuracy of what your TA is telling you.

I would not assume that you will get free drinks at the retreat sundeck as officially you do not, but some people have reported that they did. I suggest if they ask for your your card that you clarify if you care.

We love it and dine there once per cruise.

In order to build your confidence, you can pick a random cruise the departs much earlier and test it by getting a flight quote.

I just departed my cruise on Saturday, so my assessment must be on the new ones. Never cared for the previous ones, either. Did not negatively affect my cruise as I had plenty of great food.

That is what Princess said recently when we did a B2B.

The worst list of canapés in the industry by a mile and they never change.

The OP states that it was not determined that a DF would be an assessable balcony cabin when he booked.

Since there are various amounts bid for the cabin that is vacated, it has to be a complicated process. At least most people get the opportunity to participate (if their TA allows it). Not really transparent, but certainly more transparent than the previous system before bidding was implemented.

Does the AP show that you have the Premier package? Did you put in your credit card info and see if the reservation says 0 due as the total? some people have been having issues for some unknown reasons, but many of us have been able to make reservation in advance without paying. Goof luck.

I suggest you factor in the weather/season when your decision. We did a repositioning cruise from Hawaii to Sydney on a different cruise line in October. Therefore the weather was cooler has we cruised to New Zealand.

It was the same in my case.so I was wondering whether it a was listed under @Yg13’s detailed summary. If yes, they could make a strong argument.

I suggest you book as soon as you board. Princess does not prebook all available spots in advance. The speciality restaurants on the 4/6 Enchanted cruise were very busy.

I use the same strategy. Fortunately for me if I book direct, I do not pay a penalty.
